Food is Medicine Research Action Plan

Food & Society at the Aspen Institute released its 2024 Food is Medicine Research Action Plan. This report builds on the 2022 version, outlining a roadmap for equity-centered research that can revolutionize how diet-related conditions are prevented, treated, and managed in the United States. It is the first report to pull together the latest peer-reviewed Food is Medicine research in a digestible, comprehensible, and action-oriented format.

The latest research demonstrates the enormous promise of Food is Medicine interventions across a range of health conditions in improving health and quality of life, while also curbing health care costs in some circumstances. The Research Action Plan answers this call with a comprehensive set of recommendations for creating an evidence base that will advance health equity and care integration while engaging communities, providers, and researchers.
