Revitalizing Mississippi Food Systems for Health and Equity
Reported byFood Tank ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
The Delta GREENS Project, administered by Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, is connecting local agriculture with clinical healthcare in the Mississippi Delta, where approximately 17 percent of households faced food insecurity between 2022 and 2024. Through produce prescription programs and community-led interventions, the initiative aims to tackle high rates of diet-related chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease in one of the nation's most under-resourced regions.
