Our members are making a difference.

It is well established that food insecurity amplifies chronic disease and drives associated healthcare spending and other negative economic impacts. The 34 million people living in food-insecure US households (and many more with limited access to affordable nutrition) are substantially more likely to develop heart disease, diabetes, and other health conditions – adding more than $50 billion in annual cost to our healthcare system.

Fortunately, there is an incredible amount of emerging technological innovation underway that leverages the power of affordable and nutritious food to remediate hunger and improve human health. We are highlighting this technology and supporting it financially via this coalition.
