The Food As Health Alliance

The Food as Health Alliance at the University of Kentucky seeks to bring together clinical and community research spanning across agriculture, food, and health to address food insecurity and diet-sensitive chronic disease. Specifically, researchers, clinicians, community partners, food commodity producers, healthcare partners, and students will explore innovative strategies to improve patient clinical outcomes and the health of Kentuckians.
