Healing from the Ground Up: Iowa Summit

Healing from the Ground Up: Iowa Summit

Thursday, March 4, 2027 (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM) (CST)

Description

Healing from the Ground Up returns for its second year in Iowa, bringing together leaders across agriculture, the food system, healthcare, and public health to bridge the gaps between sustainable farming practices, clinical practice, and community nutrition. At this year’s summit, we'll move from WHY food systems matter for health to HOW we can work together to drive tangible change in the state. Last year's inaugural gathering established a shared understanding of the critical - but often overlooked - links between soil health, nutrition, and human wellness. This year, we are moving from understanding to action. Attendees will engage with leading researchers and regional practitioners presenting the latest science and real-world case studies. The day-long program is explicitly designed to translate science into tangible outcomes- equipping attendees with implementable solutions they can deploy from their own distinct positions in Iowa's food and health landscape.
