The U.S. is a country of 50 states covering a vast swath of North America, with Alaska in the northwest and Hawaii extending the nation’s presence into the Pacific Ocean. While largely a strength, the vastness of the United States also leads to multiple challenges in ensuring equity across the board. Food insecurity in the United States largely affects minority communities (mostly Latino, Native American and African American communities), along with senior citizens and those living in rural communities.
