HUNGER FREE TEXANS Presents FOOD & NUTRITION SOLUTIONS HACKATHONSeptember 13, 2018ABOUT THE HACKATHON:Tackling food insecurity, diet-related disease, or increasing healthy and affordable food access and nutrition in your communities can sometimes be a daunting challenge. Do you have a specific issue/concern/problem or question that you need resolved that needs a solution to help your organization promote healthy food access and nutrition in your community? Imagine a think-tank of multi-disciplinary professionals, enthusiasts, advocates and students from various backgrounds and knowledge levels coming together over one day to tackle these issues. Whether your issue is “how do I feed my seniors healthier foods on a budget”, “how can I increase veggie consumption in my community” or “how can I work closer with the faith-based community, schools, farmers or healthcare sector”, this forum of learning may provide a solution. All participants must bring an issue to be worked on. All issues are voted on and a certain number will be selected that day. This is a fun day of exponential learning. Even if your issue is not selected, what you learn may spark ideas or solutions that could address your issue and/or other programmatic areas. Don’t’ know what a hackathon is?
