Hungry for Change, Leah Gose studies the problem of hunger in order to help solve it

During her volunteer work at a food pantry, Leah Gose encountered a man with deep hunger in his eyes, pushing her to ponder about the broader issue of food insecurity. Now a PhD student at Harvard, Gose focuses her research on community responses to hunger, particularly in the Atlanta area. While grassroot initiatives have surged, with various organizations coming forward to help, these are often inconsistent and sometimes inaccessible for certain populations. Gose believes that addressing not just immediate hunger but also long-term food insecurity requires a more holistic approach, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive public policies and a rethinking of our current poverty solutions.
