Nutrition security is defined by the USDA as "having consistent access, availability, and affordability of foods and beverages that promote well-being and prevent (and if needed, treat) disease, particularly among racial/ethnic minority populations, lower incomes populations, and rural and remote populations". Food and nutrition insecurity has significant impacts on mental, physical and social wellbeing and educational attainment. As a FLI student at Stanford, eating well can often be tied to income and thus it can be challenging to find affordable meals.
