Grantmakers In Health and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders, along with The Funders Network, Grantmakers for Education, Native Americans in Philanthropy, and 49 other organizations in philanthropy sent a letter to President Biden in support of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. This letter outlines four recommendations for the Administration and federal agencies to adopt leading up to and following the conference. The coalition urges an approach that tackles the root causes of hunger and health inequities – poverty, racism, discrimination, and rural disinvestment – and lays out specific policy and regulatory areas to end hunger and increase nutrition and health.
