In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.

Local Foods: From Fad To Force And What It Means For The
Food Industry
Across the country, farmers markets with local purveyors plying dirt-dusted produce and artisanal cheeses are a routine and
revered part of life during the spring-to-fall growing season. Their regulars advocate eating food produced closer to home, as it
tends to be fresher, healthier, tastier and easier on the environment than the shipped equivalents. And buying this way also
makes consumers feel good about supporting producers they know, who in turn invest in the local economy.
Not surprisingly, the number of farmers markets rose from 1,755 in 1994 to 8,144 last year, or more than 350 percent,
according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). And the trend has gone viral, as consumers are voting 'local' with their
dollars and having a profound influence on the nation's food systems. Their enthusiasm has led suppliers, grocers and
restaurants to change and adapt by adding locally produced goods to their offerings year-round.
Yet as the local foods movement grows, is it really better for us--and the environment?
A lot of U.S. consumers think so: 52
percent said buying locally grown produce
is more important than buying organics in a
2012 study by Mintel. They're also willing
to pay more for locally grown and
produced foods, notes research in
Ecological Economics, reported in Food
Navigator.
So retailers are giving consumers what
they want. Now placards that once listed
produce by price-per-pound boast detailed
descriptions of when, where and how the
item was grown. Even Wal-Mart, which
had food sales of $150 billion last fiscal
year and is the nation's largest fresh
produce retailer, according to CNBC, is
also going local. In spring 2013, the retailer
committed to double its local produce stock
by December 2015.
Restaurants are also subject to the trend.
The National Restaurant Association found
the lust for local foods dominated its 2014 "Top Food Trends" survey as "locally sourced meats and seafood" and "locally
sourced produce" earned the top two spots on the list. "'Hyper-local' food," including herbs and vegetables garden-grown by
restaurants onsite and "farm/estate-branded foods" came in at Nos. 6 and 10 respectively, while "environmental sustainability"
and "sustainable seafood" ranked third and eighth respectively, which fits the trend since food production methodology is part
and parcel of the local foods movement. And national chain restaurants, such as Chipotle and Subway, are committing to
buying local.
