Mark Winne, Food Policy Council director for the Community Food Security Coalition, presents a lecture titled "Closing America's Food Gap: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities," at Swift Hall on June 27, 2012. His talk addresses the issues of food poverty and obesity simultaneously facing the US and examines the role of local food councils to influence policy and bring about effective change.

The Institute was presented by the University of Chicago Center for International Studies and cosponsored by the Program on the Global Environment, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, the Center for East European and Russian Eurasian Studies, and the Global Health Initiative.
