Knowledge is Power
Knowledge is power.
This weekend Dr. Stephen Borders, Associate Professor of Public Health Sciences / Director of Health Administration at Coastal Carolina University joins Dr. Phil Knight and Gerry Brisson, president and CEO of Gleaners Community Food Bank on Food First Michigan. Tune in on WJR Radio Sunday at 9:00 PM to hear how Dr. Borders is helping our food bank network use the Geographic Informational Systems [GIS] and analytics to not just do more, but do BETTER!
Steve is a hunger champion and continues to stand in the gap for the families we serve. He is helping the FBCM network rise to new levels by thinking differently than we have in the past. He is helping us acquire knowledge about our work, the families we serve, and the communities we serve them in.
We must figure out not only how to provide “more” food, but BETTER food. In addition, we must grow in our understanding of barriers to accessing food. There is A LOT for us to learn as we continue to grow in our work, but it would not be possible without the data and knowledge behind it.
Knowledge is power and it IS powerful. The more we know the more we can discern, discover, and develop ideas that create positive solutions. Data, analytics, research, pilot projects are all part of our scientific approach to creating a food secure Michigan.
