Over the years, Congress has authorized and the federal government has administered programs to provide food to the hungry and to other vulnerable populations in this country. This book provides an overview of hunger and food insecurity along with the related network of programs. Evaluating trends in hunger and in our nation is crucial to understanding if the efforts to prevent hunger are working and in recognizing if there are particular vulnerable populations that need assistance.

Eugene Marshall is Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Florida International University.
