Government officials and organizations, including the U.S. FDA and HHS, are actively participating in the Food is Medicine Summit to address food insecurity and improve health outcomes in communities. The summit aims to integrate food and medicine to prevent chronic diseases and turn the sick care system into a health care system. Various stakeholders, including lawmakers and advocacy groups, are working together to ensure nutrition assistance programs reach every eligible individual for access to healthy, safe, and affordable foods. Discussions also revolve around improving student learning, addressing teacher shortage, and promoting good mental health for students in local schools.
