Objective 1.C
Increase the participation of health care professionals in the New Mainstream Campaign, linking farm, food, and health.

Proposed Places to Start in 2008:
1.    Support a network of healthcare professionals committed to promoting healthy/sustainable/local food and agriculture with their constituents, like the work of the prevention institute.  This network can develop a plan for educating their industry that specifies required messages, materials, activities, alliances, and funding required to implement the plan.

Potential Future Actions 2009-2012:
1.    Work with funders in the health field to create dedicated funds for the connection of health and sustainable food system work, especially around leadership development.
2.    Create policies that integrate food systems and health.  The public policies should promote healthcare reform that prioritizes prevention strategies, and be aimed at healthy lifestyle changes as well as the promotion of tasty, low-cost food plans.
