Setting the Table for Health: The Role of Food in Connecting Individual, Community and Planetary Health

Abstract: 
Our current food system favors the production of animal products and highly refined, calorie-dense foods, rather than the fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and other high fiber foods important in prevention of these diseases. Hidden behind these nutritional imbalances is a food system reliant on and supported by methods of production and distribution that impact people and the planet.  The healthcare community has awakened to the intimate relationship between food production and ecological and human health and has forced an awareness of the importance of healthcare’s role in prevention and wellness.  Weaving an understanding of the national transformation within healthcare, with a practical example underway at UMD, we will explore the new and vital role of campus health service at connecting the health of students, community, and the planet through the lens of food systems.
