Summary
The FOOD for Health Act of 2024 directs the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a pilot grant program supporting Food is Medicine programs, which provide medically tailored meals, produce prescriptions, cooking skills training, and related services to individuals with diet-related diseases. Eligible entities—community-based organizations partnering with healthcare providers—may use grants for emergency feeding operations, meal delivery, nutrition counseling, and transportation. The bill prioritizes grants to programs incorporating local foods and registered dietitians, requires geographic and demographic equity in award distribution, and mandates reports to Congress on program efficiency and health outcomes. The bill authorizes $20 million in funding for fiscal years 2025–2029.
