Missouri Humanities

This special episode is a recorded panel discussion that followed the premiere of our debut short film, "Won't You Feed My Neighbor", which highlights some of the work being done in our Missouri communities to combat food insecurity and improve access to food. The panel features Maile Auterson (Springfield Community Gardens), Jocelyn Fundoukos (Operation Food Search), and Dr. Mary Hendrickson (Interdisciplinary Center for Food Security, University of Missouri).
