Hosted by FSF and Midwest Dairy, this interactive session will present preliminary findings from joint research exploring consumer demand for nutritious dairy products among low-income populations in the U.S. Midwest. 

Participants will: 

  • Learn early insights from a literature review and key informant interviews; 

  • Discuss barriers and facilitators for influencing demand in both urban and rural contexts; and 

  • Engage in a roundtable discussion to provide feedback and shape future research directions. 

This event will help inform strategies for identifying the factors and conditions that shape nutritious food purchasing decisions among low-income consumers.
