Food as Medicine Global News

The idea of?food as medicine?makes sense to many of us working in health care and in food production. More and more, nutrition is being centered in health professional training and patient care. The importance of soil health and sustainable food system solutions are receiving more attention. However, people across many communities who would like to eat well can’t access healthy food – or even enough food. Many of those producing and providing our food navigate a multitude of inequities. Join us in advancing a more equitable and inclusive?food as medicine?movement.?

With more than 50 speakers, the?Food as Medicine Global Conference?provides a culturally inclusive curriculum and collaborative engagement experience featuring?inspiring leaders?working in the intersections of food, health, community, social justice, and planetary wellbeing.?We are grateful for this impressive group of presenters from Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Malawi, Mexico, New Zealand, and around the U.S.
