A collaboration between the Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center (https://nycfoodpolicy.org/) and the Center for Food as Medicine (https://foodmedcenter.org/)

• Background information on the history of using food to treat disease
• Modern challenges to widespread use and acceptance of food as medicine practices
• Current evidence about contemporary food as medicine practices (such as medically tailored meals, produce prescriptions, and functional foods)
• Literature review of food as treatment for specific disease states
• Recommendations to stakeholders (including policymakers, health care professionals, and academics) to contribute to a healthier, more equitable health care system
