Academia and Philanthropy: A Collaborative Approach to Food Insecurity

Join Gideon Adams (Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC) and Dr. Norbert Wilson (Duke Divinity School) for a presentation on the evolving services of food banking and shared learners with academic partners.

Professor Norbert Wilson's research touches on several food issues, such as access, choice, and food waste. He continues to work on food safety and quality issues in international trade and domestic food systems. Wilson is an ordained vocational deacon in the Episcopal Church USA. Additionally, his work is moving to explore equity in food access.

Gideon Adams has been involved in food banking for 13+ years, where he started in traditional operations and programs. More recently, his roles have changed to encompass more holistic approaches to client and community service, working on strategies that impact the wellness of those served and methods to end reliance on philanthropic models.
