What

As the debate continues on the 2012 Farm Bill, the Center for a Livable Future at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has developed a Web app called the Farm Bill Budget Visualizer. Users can sort and filter Farm Bill expenditures since 2008 by categories such as obesity, food security, or sustainable agriculture–issues of great importance to those involved with both GIH and SAFSF.

On this webinar, we explored critical public health connections in the Farm Bill with the help of the Visualizer tool and discussed the growing role of food and tech efforts to communicate information and effect change.
