Medically Tailored Meals in the Aspen Institute’s Food Is Medicine Research Action Plan

Food & Society at the Aspen Institute and the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation of Harvard Law School (CHLPI) released the Food is Medicine Research Action Plan outlining a comprehensive set of recommendations to expand and strengthen research on nutrition interventions in health care. The Research Action Plan was developed over 18 months and led by a group of expert advisors, among whom was our Executive Director, Alissa Wassung.

The Food is Medicine Research Action Plan describes the coordinated effort and investment that is needed to build the evidence base to integrate food access into our healthcare system, succinctly summarizes the Food is Medicine research to date, and puts forward 26 recommendations to guide the next decade of equity-centered research.
