Description:
|
This project will focus on survey analysis, and interviews from self-selected survey respondents. We will be getting in contact with people that signed up for interviews last semester, and ask them specific questions about their experiences at Texas A&M, if they feel food secure or insecure, and if they feel food insecure, find the main reasons behind that. The final project is expected to show how Texas A&M students feel that food insecurity its affecting their lives and to what extent. The responses gathered from these interviews as well as responses from the 1,000 surveys previously examined, will be used to expand our knowledge about the impacts of food insecurity on young adults and lead us to solutions to this problem. It is anticipated that this project will serve as a ground basis to guide other universities to look into their student population, find out if food insecurity it’s a problem on their campus, and, if it is, look for possible solutions. |
