About this event
Food insecurity affects many families during pregnancy, yet it often remains hidden and poorly addressed. Over the past four years, the Food, Pregnancy & Me research study has worked to better understand these challenges and identify practical solutions. Join us to hear the latest findings from the Food, Pregnancy & Me study, explore five evidence-based recommendations for improving support for pregnant people and families experiencing food insecurity, and discuss how we can translate evidence into policy and practice.

Anyone who has an interest in maternal and public health, public involvement and engagement, and health inequalities, including:

- Students, researchers, and university staff
