The Yoeme Food Harvest Program and why Food Sovereignty is so important to Native Communities. I'm so grateful to be part of this pilot program! Here is some information about the program and the Yaqui Tribe's involvement in the program. I share my personal experience's and info on how you can find more about the program. In 2023, the IHS Produce Prescription Pilot Program (P4) awarded grant funding to five tribal communities to develop 5-year produce prescription programs. The purpose of the P4 is to help reduce food insecurity and improve health care outcomes among American Indian and Alaska Native people by increasing access to produce and other traditional foods within Native communities. Each pilot program is unique in their delivery and implementation of their P4 activities. Please contact me here or send me a message on X @TheYaquiVegan Thank you. Hosted on Acast.
