Nutrition
Activists
Nutritious food is a basic human right, yet 1 in 7 Nashvillians do not have access to the food they want and need. The Nashville Food Project is a community food project that brings people together to grow, cook and share nourishing food. Our work connects people to nutritious food and to each other through vibrant urban agriculture projects, made-from-scratch meals cooked in our kitchens, and food shared with local poverty-disrupting partners.

Malnutrition is responsible for much of the suffering of the peoples of the world. At least one-fifth of the worldwide loss of years of life to death and to disability is due to undernutrition. When more speculative estimates are made of the contributions of diet-related chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension and the various components of undernutrition, some commentators place one half of global suffering at the door of malnutrition.
