After the COVID-19 pandemic closed local schools last spring, UB faculty member Sarah A. Robert joined Seeding Resilience, a new Buffalo coalition of government representatives, community members and nonprofits connected to the food system and its supply chain.
The group’s mission to address food inequity and improve distribution and communication aligns with Robert’s research about school food policy and how it impacts local resources and practices. As a policy analyst and specialist in school food politics, Robert works to improve public understanding of the critical role schools play in distributing food to students and families.
