Individuals, households and communities may experience food insecurity. Food insecurity is present when a diet of less desirable foods or of lower quality termed \u201clow food security\u201d is available. In the most severe form, food insecure diets may not include enough foods, termed, \u201cvery low food security\u201d. This level also exists when an individual or household may experience hunger that results in weakness, illness and\/or pain. Food insecurity and hunger are both associated with poorer overall health, mental health, and chronic disease among US adults and poorer health and development among US children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n            <\/div>\n                            <div  class=\"purdue-home-button-list\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"\">\n                            <a class=\"purdue-home-button\" href=\"#\" target=\"_self\">\n                                Learn More                            <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<section  class=\"purdue-home-link-cards \">\n\n    <div class=\"section has-gray-background\">\n                    <div class=\"container header-wrap\">\n                <div class=\"columns is-mulitline align-bottom\">\n                    <div class=\"column\">\n                                                    <div class=\"tagged-header-container \">\n                                <h2 class=\"tagged-header tagged-header--gold\">Our staff<\/h2>\n                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"column is-narrow mobile-hidden\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        \n        <div class=\"container\">\n                                <div class=\"purdue-home-link-cards__cards\">\n                        <div class=\"columns is-multiline\">\n                                                            <div class=\"column is-4-desktop is-half-tablet\">\n                                    <article class=\"purdue-home-cta-card purdue-home-cta-card--stack purdue-home-cta-card--nolink\"><figure class=\"image is-square\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Picture of Dr. Eicher-Miller\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/indianasefrnetwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BP5_8872-1-scaled-e1782266741250.jpg\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"flex-container flex-container--faculty\"><h3 class=\"purdue-home-cta-grid__card-name\">Heather A.
