In other news, The grocery industry has jumped in with broad support of the Biden administration’s $8 billion plan to tackle food insecurity and improve nutrition and wellness nationwide. The five-pronged National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition and Health includes expanding food access and affordability, integrating nutrition and health, empowering all consumers to make more informed and healthier food choices, enhancing nutrition and food security research, and enabling physical activity for all. The effort responds to this past summer’s “Call to Action for White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health,” in which the administration said it aims to end hunger and reduce diet-related disease by 2030, while also eliminating disparities among the most-impacted communities.
