The White House is hosting its Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health today (Sep. 28) in Washington, DC. This is the first conference of its kind in more than 50 years.
The Biden Administration’s stated goal is to “end hunger and increase healthy eating and physical activity by 2030, so that fewer Americans experience diet-related diseases like diabetes, obesity, and hypertension.”
Ahead of the summit, the Biden Administration released its National Strategy for ending hunger, improving nutrition and physical activity, and reducing diet-related diseases and disparities. Proposals include, for example, front-of-pack nutrition labeling.
The strategy identifies actions across five pillars:
Improving food access and affordability;
Integrating nutrition and health;
Empowering all consumers to make and have access to healthy choices;
Supporting physical activity for all; and
Enhancing nutrition and food security research.
