More information about our webinar below:
The Food as Medicine movement has created exciting buzz in both the food systems and health sectors, gaining presidential attention and significantly more private and public funding. There are growing efforts to embed these models into state and federal health policies, holding great promise to improve nutrition and health in low-income communities around the country.
This webinar will dive deep into the structures, including policy, research, and funding streams, fueling the FAM movement and create a pathway for community-voice to be included in the food as medicine narrative.
Join us for a virtual conversation "Who Holds Power in the Business Case for Food as Medicine?” on Monday, April 29 at 2-3:30 EST. Panelists will examine how the current Food is Medicine landscape is being shaped by those in power and its potential community, agriculture, healthcare, economic, and policy implications. Envision with us a different FAM reality shaped by a community and grassroots lens where all our communities can be healthier, wealthier, and thrive.
