A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
The Mississippi Health and Hunger Atlas, modeled after the Missouri Hunger Atlas, is the first iteration of its kind in Mississippi and in the South. This atlas addresses two important issues in Mississippi: high rates of food insecurity and poor health outcomes. The atlas seeks to shed light on county level variations for a variety of these demographic, health, and hunger indicators. Examining these indicators at a county level, patterns that are normally overshadowed by standard macro, national, level analysis, begin to emerge. The atlas was created by UM faculty members Annie Cafer and John Green, and graduate student Rachel Haggard, who are affiliated with UM's Center for Population Studies.
