A sophomore enrolled in the horticulture program at DCB, McInnes-Gee will share different perspectives on approaching the challenges of hunger globally, nationally, but most importantly, in the local communities and homes.
"Forty Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World" by Howard G. Buffett, the book chosen for this year's annual campus book read, discusses solutions to the problem of food insecurity.
As a prospective first-generation farmer with a drive to change the narrative surrounding industrial food landscape, McInnes-Gee will discuss the importance of honorable land use but also the necessity of biodiversity and regenerative agriculture in combatting the issue of food insecurity.
