The goal is clear: eliminate hunger and reduce diet-related disease by 2030. But with nine out of ten Americans still not meeting fruit and vegetable consumption recommendations – how will we get there? Join us for this Virtual Town Hall as we take a deep dive into bold policy proposals for fruits and vegetables, including produce prescriptions, which could change our consumption trajectory by leveraging the power of the healthcare system.
