With health-care-related costs continuing to rise, it is imperative to fund population health strategies that use food and nutrition as tools to treat and prevent costly diet-related diseases, as well as to feed food-insecure populations. This session will identify opportunities for private capital to enhance technology solutions to overcome the inefficiencies and fragmentation inhibiting both access to and scale of today's FoodRx prescriptions. Attendees will have an opportunity to brainstorm how new and existing technologies can be leveraged to facilitate greater data sharing, improve market efficiencies and demonstrate the value of these Food Is Medicine interventions, with a focus on how private markets can support the advancement of these solutions at scale.
