The Healthy Farms Healthy People Coalition hosted a web forum on Thursday August 2, exploring the price of food, as it affects health of consumers and the economic viability of farmers. We had a great panel of agriculture economists and leaders working to increase demand for and supply of fruits and vegetables including:
- Andrea Carlson, U.S. Department of Agriculture
- Chad Hellwinckel, University of Tennessee
- Jennifer Obadia, Boston Collaborative for Food and Fitness & Tufts University
- Michael O’Gorman, Farmer Veteran Coalition
- Paula Daniels, Los Angeles Mayor’s Office & LA Food Policy Council
The forum was organized by Coalition Steering Committee member ChangeLab Solutions and moderated by Christine Fry.
If you missed any of the web forum, you can view or download a recording of it here. Additionally, you can view the presentation slides without the audio here.
This forum was part of a series of Healthy Farms Healthy People educational web forums bringing together Coalition members and partners for a cross-sectoral analysis of issues at the intersection of agriculture and public health. Stay tuned for details on our next forum.
