Uniting Agriculture and Health Care to Support Food as Medicine for All

Dear Community,

What does it take to build food systems that support health, equity, and opportunity for all? Connection, collaboration, and strong leadership are essential to making that vision a reality.

Through our Speaker Spotlight Series, we are honored to feature Chelsea Jackson of the Food Systems Leadership Network (FSLN), an organization dedicated to resourcing, connecting, and amplifying food systems leaders. Join us at the upcoming Food as Medicine for All - Livestream Conference to learn how this network builds relationships, shares knowledge, and creates opportunities to help shape a more nourishing and sustainable future.

More Than Just a Network: Resourcing, Connecting, and Amplifying

The Food Systems Leadership Network (FSLN) is more than a network of food systems leaders. It’s a space where relationships grow, knowledge is shared, and collective action takes root. This presentation will explore how the FSLN supports and strengthens the movement for food systems transformation by resourcing leaders with mentorship, leadership development and skill-building opportunities; amplifying the work, wisdom, and innovations of network members; and facilitating connections that help knowledge, ideas, and resources travel across the network. Together, we accelerate the realization of just, equitable, and sustainable food systems that generate good food, health, and opportunity for all.

Our Why

The idea of food as medicine resonates with many in health care and food production. Nutrition is increasingly integrated into health professional training, patient care, and discussions around farming, fishing, ranching, and other food systems. However, people across many communities who want to eat well cannot access healthy or even enough food. Many of those producing and providing our food and health care navigate a multitude of inequities.
