Section outline

  • This workshop series covers very basic information that all nurses should know about the food system, the benefits of plant-based diets, the problem of food insecurity in the US, and how to bring healthier and more sustainable foods to our institutions (schools, hospitals, universities).

    2. Review recent research examining the impact of food on health outcomes and healthcare costs
