Strategies to Integrate Racial and Health Equity into Nutrition Education and Food System Transformation Plans

Health Equity is when everyone has access to the opportunities necessary to satisfy their essential needs, advance their health and well-being, and achieve their full potential regardless of their background. This session will explore strategies to reconnect with communities to advance health equity in nutrition education. Findings from the comprehensive Southeast Multi-State Racial and Health Equity SNAP-Ed Needs Assessment will be shared, the Georgia SNAP-Ed program will highlight their community engagement model to advance equity, and the panel will discuss next steps nutrition leaders can take to ensure health equity is considered in nutrition education and food system transformation plans.
