The Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) Food Security Network is a collection of institutions across New York state working together in regional collaboration to share strategies, best practices, and resources related to HEI responses to food insecurity.
This regional network was formed in 2020 as a joint project between Ithaca College and Partners for Campus – Community Engagement (PCCE). The project was initiated due to three noticeable gaps in the HEI food security literature:
1. Limited knowledge of existing HEIs food security efforts in New York State
2. Poor understanding of effectiveness of HEIs food security initiatives in New York State
3. Food security efforts created in isolation at HEIs across New York State.
The Higher Education Institutions (HEI) Food Security Initiatives Network works to expand the New York State regional knowledge base of campus and community responses to food insecurity to facilitate the sharing of experiences, best practices, and resources to target food insecurity among students, faculty, staff, and community members.
The HEI Food Security Initiatives Network envisions a future where institutions in New York State can collaborate regionally to sustainably address food insecurity on their campuses and in their communities.
