Food care as health care and the path to close the nutrition gap. Orgain’s founder shares 4 ways food and beverage entrepreneurs can enable access to nutritious food, thereby creating a healthier society. Maple Hill Creamery, America’s original 100 percent grass-fed organic dairy company, today announced the finalization of the award of $20 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to grow markets for sustainable, regenerative grass-fed organic dairy farming. The funding, initially announced in September 2022, is part of the USDA’s Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program, awarding $2.8 billion in funding to pilot projects that will help build and expand opportunities for consumers to purchase food grown in a climate-friendly way. Some days, going to the grocery store can seem intimidating while walking through the aisles with thousands of products to choose from. When it comes to healthy foods, it may be difficult to know if you are making food choices that align with your goals, and choosing organics may just be what you’ve been looking for. Interestingly enough, there is a special process that must be followed to be able to certify a product as organic and these extra steps are what sets organic produce apart from conventionally grown. Alexandre Ferrari-Roy’s business model helps corporate property owners and managers turn rooftops and other underutilized spaces into productive farms. David Attenborough’s latest TV series Wild Isles is delightful, astonishing, and harrowing in equal measure. His incredible insights into the natural world are inspiring. But, as he points out, the UK is one of the most nature-depleted places on Earth.
Food Care as health care and the Path to close the nutrition gap
Orgain was founded after I recognized that real nutrition has the power to change lives. In high school, I received a shattering diagnosis of an aggressive form of muscular cancer. As my treatments progressed, I struggled to maintain weight: at one point my doctor expressed serious concerns about my malnutrition and handed me an off-the-shelf nutritional shake. A look at the label revealed dozens of artificial ingredients, many of questionable nutritional value. Was this going to help or hinder my efforts?
