Description:

You are invited to join us for the virtual 2021 Harkin on Wellness (HOW) Symposium on March 8-9, 2021! The HOW Symposium is an annual gathering to discuss timely topics associated with wellness and nutrition.

The 2021 symposium will explore how food is medicine to our bodies, society, economy and environment. "Food is Medicine" solutions promote better wellbeing and lower health care costs, create resilient and sustainable practices, reduce disparities among population groups, improve economic competitiveness and lead to greater national security.

Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, dean of the renowned Friedman School of Nutrition Science & Policy at Tufts University, and Dr. Ed Ehlinger, a public health metaphysician, will deliver keynote speeches.

Attendees will also have an opportunity to hear from 2021 Harkin on Wellness [designees, or special guests] about their efforts to implement food is medicine initiatives in their communities.

The 2021 HOW Symposium will be available to stream on demand after the event. Please note, it may take several days to format and upload content after the symposium. All times presented are in Central Standard Time (CST).
