ECO-FRIENDLY Online Event
The Food as Medicine Global Conference features the often unheard voices of people working at the intersections of food, health, community, social justice, and planetary well-being. The program highlights community efforts that support food sovereignty and health justice. The conference will be entirely online to support more equitable access and to create an eco-friendly event.
Continuing Education Information
To support a diverse global community, Certificates of Attendance for the Food as Medicine Global Conference will be distributed via email to attendees who participate during the live event. Such certificates are useful for obtaining continuing education credits from professional associations. Please note that guidelines around continuing education credits vary, and you should consult the appropriate professional association representative for further guidance.
We do not offer Continuing Medical Education credits. Please contact the ACCME to determine if, and how many, credits from this educational offering can be used toward CME recertification.
Our Why
The idea of food as medicine makes sense to many working in health care and food production. More and more, nutrition is centered in health professional training, patient care, and conversations around farming, fishing, ranching, and other foodways. 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.
Join us in creating a more equitable and inclusive food as medicine movement!
