An illustrated drawing outlining the benefits of food prescription programs. A light purple background with hand-drawn images of food with a food prescription. A darker purple beam flows from the food prescription listing the benefits: at their best, food prescriptions grow knowledge, improve food access, build food skills, build community and food system resilience, & help people develop new habits. At the highest level, food prescriptions improve health and therapeutic outcomes and decrease long-term health burdens. Illustration by Alex Sawatzky.
