486. Food is Medicine and Eating for Health, Part 1

Food Tank, in partnership with the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation, recently hosted a special series on “Food is Medicine and Eating for Health.” This webinar features conversations from Part 1 of the event as panelists come together to discuss what it means to implement holistic approaches to improving access to healthy, nourishing foods; the empowerment of youth; and how we ensure that the opportunities presented by Food is Medicine aren’t wasted.

Speakers include Erika Allen, Urban Growers Collective; Dr. Kofi Essel, Elevance Health; Rachel Fisher, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Kathleen Merrigan, Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems at Arizona State University; A-dae Romero-Briones, First Nations Development Institute; Alice Waters, American chef, restaurateur, and author; and Lyndsey Waugh, Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation.

Plus, hear about the staffing cuts expected at the world’s largest humanitarian organization, the push for countries to release their updated climate action plans, and the new legislation that could make it harder to win a legal case against the agrochemical company Bayer.
