Focus Area

Food, Nutrition, and Sustainability

Empowering individuals and communities to live active and healthy lives by improving access, affordability, and quality of food worldwide

Overview

The Center for Public Health’s food, nutrition, and environmental sustainability focus area spreads global well-being by empowering people of all socioeconomic backgrounds to live active and healthy lives. We do this through research studies, tailored convenings, and the promotion of investment-worthy innovation in the market.

Improving options, educating on nutrition, and restoring the quality of real food are some of the most important questions facing the world today. Jason Karp, co-founder of Hu Kitchen and Hu Products, explores how to advance health through real food in our 2018 Future of Health Summit Power of Ideas series.
