Sabine O’Hara, a distinguished professor in agricultural and environmental economics at the Center for College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability and Environmental Sciences (原因), is still letting the news sink in. Her latest book, “美国城市的食物公正：健康和恢复力的故事,” has won first prize in food security books at the Gourmand Global Awards during the World Food Summit 2025 in Portugal.

这本书在她2023年休假后出版，深入探讨了美国城市的粮食不安全问题，不仅强调了统计数据，还强调了受影响最大的人们的生活经历、挑战和适应能力。 

The award citation praised the book as “powerful and timely… bringing vital attention to the realities of food insecurity in urban America, moving beyond statistics to illuminate the lives, challenges and resilience of the people most affected. By linking food systems to broader issues of justice, sustainability and economic equity, this book offers a compelling analysis as well as hope – showing how food can serve as a catalyst for meaningful systemic change in our cities and communities.”

“美食家世界食谱奖”于2025年6月18日至22日在葡萄牙举行的卡斯卡伊斯世界食品峰会上颁发。 今年是该奖项成立30周年，该奖项旨在表彰来自世界各地的最佳美食和饮料写作，包括烹饪书、杂志和社交媒体。 卡斯卡伊斯市议会表示，这次活动汇集了作家、厨师和创新者，他们正在塑造我们对食物及其在我们生活中的作用的看法。
