On Wednesday, the United States Department for Health and Human Services (HHS) held the first ever “Food is Medicine” Summit, which focused on ways to increase access to healthy foods to promote “health as a preventative and healing practice.” Arguably, the biggest headlines that came out of the meeting centered on three new public-private partnerships into which the Biden administration is entering.
As Salon Food reported, the Rockefeller Foundation is going to collaborate with the HHS "to identify how food-based programs can lead to better health outcomes in marginalized communities." Feeding America and the Biden administration will work together to provide expanded food bank access, while "Insatcart will use its advocacy to expand access to healthy food."
