Wasan Report 2018: Seeing Environmental Nutrition in Health Care in New Ways

Source: Nourish
Year: 2018

The overlap of health care and food systems is multifaceted. In 2018 Nourish convened 22 leaders from across healthcare, government, food systems and philanthropy together for a four day retreat on Wasan Island in order to explore the opportunities around environmental nutrition in health care. Environmental nutrition (2014), a concept coined by Health Care Without Harm, reframes healthy food as contributing beyond individual well-being towards a collective social responsibility for creating healthy communities and a sustainable food system.
