Presented by:Marcia Anderson, MS, RDN, LSCommunity Manager, Community Health ServicesAlaska Native Tribal Health ConsortiumFreda Carpitcher, MPHHealth Promotion/Disease Prevention and Health Education CoordinatorOklahoma IHS Area OfficeDescription:If you live in a low-income community, in a rural location, or where grocery stores and supermarkets are hard to come by, then you live in a food desert.  Food deserts are in areas where obesity is just one of the many serious health issues.  Many American Indians and Alaska Natives have limited or no access to healthy or affordable food, so their chances of getting diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancers are much higher and increasing.  But access to healthy and affordable foods is possible, no matter where you live.  In this webinar, the speakers will share practical strategies to increase sustainable access to healthy foods, and some of the health benefits of gardening and harvesting plant foods.Learning Objectives:At the end of the presentation, the participants will be able to: Identify at least two strategies to increase access to healthy food.Define what is a sustainable food supply.Discuss health benefits of gardening and harvesting plant foods.
