Mike Hamm received his Ph.D.
in Nutrition in 1979 from
University of Minnesota. His current research and
outreach are focused on community-based food systems and
community food security. This includes
research on structural issues and trends in the food
systems
and avenues for moving producers and
consumers
towards more community-based sustainable food
systems. He also works to identify opportunities for farmers and
consumers to link in socially and economically constructive
ways. Within community food security, his efforts are
focused on insuring that all community
residents obtain a culturally acceptable,
nutritionally adequate diet through a sustainable food
system that maximizes community self-reliance and
social justice.
