Model for Change

Our Model for Change equips healthcare providers and cross-sector leaders to use food as a powerful lever for change — improving human health and healthcare, reshaping food and agricultural systems, honoring culture and community, protecting land and water, reducing waste and toxins, and safeguarding oceans and waterways. By grounding this work in evidence-based nutrition and connecting leaders from local to global levels, we build a movement that advances health and wellbeing for people and the planet.

Our Strategies

Raising Awareness: Amplify nutrition science and leading voices to show how food shapes all six pillars of the Power Of The Plate.

Preparing Health Leaders: Deliver evidence-based education that equips leaders to apply nutrition in practice and public health.

Collaborating for Systemic Impact: Build partnerships to transform food systems, reduce disparities, and protect natural resources.

Catalyzing Culture Change: Mobilize ambassadors and partners to expand reach and accelerate adoption of accessible, culturally relevant nutrition.

The Result

Health providers, Leaders, and Changemakers are:

Educated: Competent in evidence-based nutrition science and aware of its potential to prevent, slow, and reverse the progression of chronic disease.

Equipped: Confident in adopting and recommending evidence-based dietary patterns and supporting patients and communities in sustainable behavior change.

Empowered: Prepared to integrate food-as-medicine approaches into practice, advocate for nutrition in clinical guidelines, and champion systems-level improvements that address health disparities and planetary wellbeing. United: Connected through a global network of champions who share a clear, consistent, research-aligned message about the Power of the Plate and its impact on human and planetary health
