You may have heard of 'food pharmacies' or 'food as medicine' and wondered what these buzz words are about. Through hospital or community programs, people in health and/or financial straits may be able to get a prescription for farm shares of organic vegetables; in other words, healthy food is considered to be a vital part of healing.

At Transition Town Jericho's next meeting on resiliency topics, Melissa Needham, from the VT Dept of Health, explains the holistic aspect of food as medicine; how one can perhaps prevent and/or manage chronic disease through food and nutrition. Citing programs in Vermont and beyond, she'll show the transformative role of nutrition within individual and community health.

Hope you can join us at the Jericho Community Center on Monday February 24, from 6:30-8pm for this presentation. There is wheelchair access. Refreshments will be provided. RSVP requested: Ttjericho.VT@gmail.com
