SUMMARY:Feeding Health: Why Food and Agriculture Funding Matters for Health Funders
DESCRIPTION:This SAFSF-hosted webinar is designed specifically for health-focused funders and investors who are exploring how food and agriculture strategies can strengthen their work on health equity\, prevention\, and community wellbeing. \n\n\n\nAcross the United States\, the health sector is increasingly recognizing what many cultures have long understood: food is foundational to health. However\, food not only impacts what we eat.  The complex realities behind what it takes to produce\, distribute\, and access healthy food – our food systems-  also impact the health of communities at scale.   Recent federal proposals to cut or restrict SNAP benefits and other nutrition assistance programs highlight a deeper vulnerability in the nation’s food and health infrastructure. Addressing diet-related disease\, health inequities\, and rising healthcare costs requires investing upstream in the food system itself. \n\n\n\nDuring this session\, participants will: \n\n\n\n\nExplore how  food systems impact health beyond diet and consumption; \n\n\n\nExamine how SNAP and nutrition program pressures are reshaping the landscape;\n\n\n\nHear a case study of a SAFSF member foundation that has integrated food system strategies into its health portfolio; \n\n\n\nIdentify practical entry points for health funders seeking to move beyond food access programs toward deeper systems change\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will also learn how Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders (SAFSF) supports a community of more than 120 funders working at the intersection of food\, agriculture\, climate\, and health. For health funders seeking to address root causes rather than symptoms\, food and agriculture funding offers a powerful and underutilized strategy. \n\n\n\nOpen to all funders! Registration is required. \n\n\n\n\n                \n                        \n                             \n							"*" indicates required fields \n                        \n                        NameThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.This field is hidden when viewing the formRegisterName*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    First\n                                                    \n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                            Last\n                                                            \n                                                        \n                            \n                        Organization*Title*Email*\n                            \n                        Are you a funder?*\n								\n								Yes\, I am affiliated with a funding organization.\n							SAFSF defines funders as staff\, board members\, trustees\, donors\, program officers\, and other professionals from organizations using grantmaking or investments as a core strategy to fulfill their mission.\nThis field is hidden when viewing the formEvent Name\nIt may take longer than expected to process your submission\, please only click submit once.
