The Hungry Heartland media project is a multi-tiered, multi-media project that addresses the issue of food deserts across Kansas, the nation's breadbasket.

At the heart of the campaign are three Kansas State University classes: a photography class (Art 563 Intermediate Photography), a writing class (ENGL 510 Professional Writing), and a video production class (MC 471 Advanced Audio/Video Production). Students from these classes received training on how to shoot documentary-style photographs, how to write about technical subjects and social media posts, and how to create documentaries. In the fall semester of 2018, they went on field trips to rural Kansas, engaging with Kansans who live in food deserts, and produced photographs, social media, and videos to raise public awareness about food deserts in Kansas. The results from the Intermediate Photography class, led by Professor Shree Joglekar, can be seen here: https://tinyurl.com/KSUHeartland .
