Breakout Session 07 - Moving Dollars Upstream for Food and Healthcare Systems Change

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Funders are involved in a growing number of initiatives that build food security, food literacy, sustainable agriculture and viable food enterprises – however these remain relatively marginal and unconnected to the health care system. Join us for a session that will bring together diverse funders with actors working at the intersection of food and healthcare. It will explore how we can scale existing initiatives and move dollars upstream to promote sustainable food systems and build preventative health into the culture and priorities of hospitals, senior care and the communities they serve.
