Hailed as a “heavy hitter in the fight against hunger,” Clancy Harrison, MS, RDN, FAND, is a leading authority in nutrition security. As the founder of the Food Dignity® Movement, author of Feeding Baby, TEDx speaker, podcast host, and TV/media contributor, Clancy challenges the way nutrition security is approached. Her mission to demolish the stigma around food accessibility places her on the cutting edge of food equity. Her message gives rise to refreshingly simple strategies for how leaders can put her ideas for food equity (or what she calls Food Dignity®) into action to create real and lasting change.

 Currently, Clancy is a member of the Tufts Innovation Platform, Ambassador of the National Dairy Council, member of the Food Lab at Google, and a past president of a large food pantry where her team has served over five million meals. You can tune in weekly with Clancy at The Food Dignity® Podcast.
