In an interview with Omnia, Hannah Kass (MES ’20—expected) says there is more than enough food to feed the world during the coronavirus crisis. “The question is whether or not our political leaders are willing to ensure that food is equitably distributed,” she notes. In the interview, Hannah lays out what can be done to ensure people have access to food, how COVID-19 will impact US farmers, and what should change as a result of the crisis.
