At Dept. of Agriculture, we’ve been hard at work to support President Biden’ goals to end hunger and reduce diet-related diseases by 2030. We’ve made a deliberate effort to prioritize nutrition security – ensuring that people have equitable access to healthy, safe, and affordable food.

The White House has reached agreement with 14 sports leagues and players’ unions to promote physical activity and help end hunger. wapo.st/3SyWOeT

Our Administration is proud to announce a new partnership with 14 sports leagues and players associations to boost physical activity and increase nutrition programming across the country – helping promote healthy lifestyles to millions of Americans.

Honored to be part of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition working with all these professional leagues and players to highlight the critical role of healthy eating, activity, and mental health! A historic partnership

U.S. health care costs are ever rising. Our new research: this harms wages and income equality.

Over the past 30 years, the average family with employer-based health insurance lost a cumulative total of $125,000 in real wages due to rising premium costs.

Hot off the press!🔥 New article out on 'Ultra-processed foods and cardiometabolic health: public health policies to reduce consumption cannot wait'. In short 'Existing evidence is sufficiently strong to warrant immediate public health actions' The BMJ bmj.com/content/383/bm…

Incomplete understanding of the multiple mechanisms underlying the link between ultra-processed foods and cardiometabolic health should not be an excuse for inaction bmj.com/content/383/bm…

Ultra-processed foods: “acellular nutrients - starches, sugars, and proteins that have been rendered completely devoid of any natural intact food structure - are rapidly digested and absorbed, leaving little nutrition for the gut microbiota.”⁦⁦ The BMJ bmj.com/content/383/bm…

Our new research on trends & current intake of sugar sweetened drinks worldwide. Sobering: even with policy efforts, intake up since 1990, esp. in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. In Europe, UK & Belgium have top intakes; globally, Mexico tops all.

Ambassador @ertharin during #ClimateWeekNYC underscores the road to bring food to the climate conversation:
COP 26-> No mention of food or agriculture
COP 27-> Only “food security” and “agriculture”
COP 28-> Food and agriculture will be central to the agenda.

Terrific study: Altering the food offerings and food prices in university dining halls improves nutrition - and with similar or even increased sales.  

More evidence to support sensible, practical systems changes to improve healthy eating.
