Farms and Food Hubs: How to Build a Food as Medicine Program

[Sophia Bennett]

Food as Medicine gives people access to healthy food to prevent or cure disease. As interest and support for these programs increases, organizers are rethinking where they source their food, and there is a growing movement toward purchasing local food as much as possible. There is real opportunity for farms and food hubs to get more involved in these efforts. 

On Tuesday, November 11 at 11 a.m. PT, learn more about how you can take advantage of this opportunity at "Farms and Food Hubs: How to Build a Food as Medicine Program," hosted by Local Food Marketplace and featuring speakers from Wholesome Wave/National Produce Prescription Collaborative, FreshRx Oklahoma, and Farmshare Austin. Topics will include what Food as Medicine programs are, how to identify and evaluate programs to see if they make sense for you, and best practices for running an effective program (including maintaining good communication with partners and finding sustainable funding sources).
