Food Access & Food Justice
Advocates for Better Health’s role in the food systems advocacy space is to mobilize trusted healthcare professionals to elevate food access and nutrition equity as public health priorities. We do this by training and connecting them to legislative opportunities where their voices can influence policies on hunger prevention, food waste, and healthy food access.
