Health District After Dark: Food Systems and Federal Dietary Guidelines

Join us for an engaging evening discussion exploring the connections between food systems, nutrition policy, and community health. As federal dietary guidelines continue to evolve, what could these changes mean for our local communities, schools, food assistance programs, and access to healthy foods?

This panel will examine the intersection of food systems with education, housing stability, food security, and public health. Participants will hear from leaders working across sectors to better understand how federal nutrition recommendations influence school meal programs, SNAP benefits, local food access, and community well-being. Together, we'll discuss opportunities and challenges in creating healthier, more equitable communities through collaborative approaches.
