Two initiatives are reshaping how we can approach and address the persistent and widely prevalent challenge of malnutrition, the leading global risk factor for morbidity and mortality. First is the focus on precision nutrition to identify inter- and intra-individual variation in our responses to diet, and its determinants. Second is the Food is Medicine (FIM) approach, an umbrella term for programs and services that link nutrition and health through the provision of food (e.g., tailored meals, produce prescriptions) and access to healthcare services. This article outlines how interventions and programs using FIM can synergize with precision nutrition approaches to make individual- or population-level tailored nutrition accessible and affordable, help to reduce the risk of metabolic diseases, and improve quality of life.
