Food as Medicine: A New Standard of Care for Population Health

Food insecurity is a long-standing problem impacting individuals and families across the globe. Lack of access to nutritious foods leads to and exacerbates chronic conditions. To treat these conditions, doctors often recommend making significant changes to one’s diet, which presents a further dilemma for those who are food insecure. Research clearly illustrates the role nutrition plays in chronic condition management. This directs us to the bigger picture: food insecurity and chronic condition management are mutually exclusive. Successful condition management of large populations cannot occur while food insecurity is still a problem.
