FOOD AS MEDICINE
Located at the 4Roots Farm Campus, we are studying and teaching the positive impacts of nutrition on health.
ABOUT US
The mission of the Culinary Health Institute is to research the benefits of the use of Food as Medicine and build a bridge between soil and human health. The CHI is focused on improving whole person health through education, services, and clinical programs while researching the effects of nutrition on health – from the germination of seeds to the tracking of health outcomes.
