Many US college students experience food insecurity (FI). Given most students are excluded from receiving federal nutrition assistance, additional efforts are needed to alleviate student FI. This perspective discusses proposed and enacted state statutes, resolutions, and bills addressing college FI to date, which range in depth, breadth, and success. Overall, states have demonstrated their promising role in addressing FI; however, college FI promises to be a continuing challenge, particularly given continued widespread unemployment that began with the onset of coronavirus disease 2019 and the global struggle for economic recovery.
许多美国大学生都经历过粮食不安全(FI)。鉴于大多数学生都无法获得联邦营养援助,因此需要做出更多努力来缓解学生的 FI 问题。本文从深度、广度和成效等方面讨论了迄今为止为解决大学生 FI 问题而提出和颁布的州法规、决议和法案,总体而言,各州已经在解决 FI 问题方面展现出了良好的前景,但考虑到始于 2019 年冠状病毒病爆发的持续广泛失业以及全球经济复苏的艰难,大学生 FI 问题仍将是一个持续的挑战。
