Food security programs have come to the forefront as key strategies for addressing the social determinants of health.
You are what you eat, the old adage says, but what comes of patients who live in food deserts or who otherwise struggle to access food? New strategies to tackle the social determinants of health are working to answer those questions specifically by building food security programs.
Access to food – nutritious food, specifically – is regarded as a key social determinant of health that has a direct impact on a patient’s wellbeing. Individuals who cannot afford or obtain quality food rich in vitamins run the risk of developing chronic illnesses or exacerbating illnesses they may already have.
