Food for Health Innovation Retreat

Over September 24 to 27, 2024, Nourish convened a gathering for members of the 2023-2025 Anchor Cohort, Nourish Ambassadors, and other key leaders working to shift health care and food systems in bold and overlapping directions. Gathering on Wasan Island in Anishinaabe territory, these leaders brought diverse perspectives and knowledge, a desire for change, and a shared belief in the power of food as a lever to create health care systems that are more preventative, equitable, and sustainable.

Participants left the gathering with possible directions for collaborative work in six areas. These promising project ideas built on conversations where participants identified key shifts to move us from what is to what can be, some tensions that require careful navigation on the paths to that future, and a suite of connections and ideas to help us all along the journey there.
