It's fantastic to see comprehensive and targeted research like this, particularly addressing the critical issue of food security. It’s heartening to see how this study not only presents findings but also pushes for policy dialogues to instigate real change. The acknowledgement of the intersectionality of socio-economic stressors like the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation on food insecurity is particularly noteworthy. This research has the potential to be a critical catalyst for interventions. Great work!

Thank you so much for this comment, Princess! My goal was to use this research to engender sustainable interventions in my community as funding structures for policy and programs initiative require concrete research that supports your goal. This community-engaged research project is the first-step for actionable change! Thank you so much once again for the support!
