IFT bolsters Food is Medicine program with easily understood pyramid model

06 Mar 2024 — US-based Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) has established a steering committee consisting of several food scientists to support the national Food is Medicine (FIM) initiative, which currently has numerous pilot programs and investments underway, including teaching kitchens and farming strategy initiatives. The FIM initiative is invigorated off the back of the inaugural Food is Medicine summit, hosted by US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and a key building block of the national strategy to end hunger and reduce chronic disease by 2030.
