Issue Brief on Affordable Nutrition
This Issue Brief on Affordable Nutrition synthesizes perspectives and evidence from peer-reviewed, published research, authoritative websites, and dialogue at the Affordable Nutrition Roundtable, convened by the AHA on June 8, 2022.
The roundtable sought to clarify the language used to describe intersecting concepts regarding the nutritional quality, affordability and noneconomic costs of healthy foods and diets; examine different perspectives and the scientific and experiential evidence for different approaches to ensuring equitable access to affordable nutrition; discover data, insights, and actions or innovations needed by or among different sectors to advance effective solutions; and identify thought leaders and organizations as potential partners and resources for future action.
