Another wonderful morning of inspiration and ambition at 1 Million Cups Baltimore!
This month, 1 Million Cups Baltimore enjoyed presentations from Food Forecast, focused on solutions for food availability during disasters, and NoseKandy, a Baltimore City-born fragrance company.
The first presenter was UMBC’s Lauren Clay, associate professor and chair of emergency health services. She pitched her startup, Food Forecast, which was recently awarded a grant from the NSF to further develop a sociocultural model called Food Environment in Disasters (FED) and other tools to improve the understanding and monitoring of food availability, acceptability, and accessibility during disasters.
