Dr. Katie Martin is my guest on Episode 81 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
Katie is a thought leader with 25+ years of experience in anti-hunger work. She is the Executive Director of the Foodshare Institute for Hunger Research & Solutions. Katie is also the author of a new book “Reinventing Food Banks and Pantries: New Tools to End Hunger”. Katie has dedicated her career to researching food insecurity, talking with individuals who experience food insecurity, visiting food banks and food pantries, and creating programs to provide more long-term solutions to hunger. Her goal is to create a paradigm shift in the charitable food system to move from short-term transactions of food to long-term transformations of lives. She has learned and is still learning from others.
