| Description: | The Center is an outgrowth of the Harvard-based Physician Task Force on Hunger in America which, during the 1980s, made field visits across the nation and released studies on the extent and causes of hunger in the nation, leading to Congressional resolve to address the growing problem at that time. The leader of the Harvard initiative, Dr. J. Larry Brown, created the Center as a vehicle to address not only hunger, but its cause -- growing poverty and income inequality in America. |
