By: FoodNiche Institute 
Foodniche Health Forum 2026 The FoodNiche Health Forum will take place on September 24, 2026, at Rutgers University New Brunswick According to reports published by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 50% of Americans struggle with preventable chronic disease that is associated with poor eating patterns, a complex problem that needs tackling. The Forum is centered around improving community health through enhanced nutrition intervention and improved food access. The 2026 FoodNiche Health Forum will create a space for leaders across sectors to examine these challenges together and identify actionable pathways forward. Discussions will explore how organizations can develop sustainable and scalable approaches to food insecurity; identify and successfully pursue funding opportunities; The Forum will feature leaders representing healthcare, food security, economic development, and community organizations, including representatives from AmeriHealth Caritas, the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, Middlesex County, the Office of the Food Security Advocate, FoodNiche Institute, and Care Center of New Jersey. For nonprofit organizations, food-access programs and community leaders working every day to address hunger and improve health, the Forum offers an opportunity not only to learn but also to connect with potential collaborators, funders and institutional partners. Food insecurity cannot be solved by one organization or sector alone. Sustainable progress requires bringing together the organizations that understand community needs with the institutions that control resources, research, healthcare infrastructure and policy. The FoodNiche Health Forum aims to facilitate those connections. About the FoodNiche Health Forum The FoodNiche Health Forum is a cross-sector convening focused on advancing healthier communities through food innovation, education, research, collaboration and action. The inaugural Forum was held at Harvard Medical School in 2025 and brought together leaders from healthcare, academia, food innovation, investment, nonprofit organizations and public health.
