Welcome!

Dear Delegate:

We are delighted to welcome you to a special forum dedicated to the nexus of food and health.

You Are What You Eat promises to be an excursion and exploration across the arc of innovation and

issues between the production of healthy food and the accessibility of that food for consumers.

Increasingly, consumers and consumer choice are driving developments in food production. This

movement, both organized and dispersed, is bolstered by the ubiquity of data, the revolution in

personalized medicine, insights from research on the properties of foods and concerns around

health and healthful outcomes.

Our agenda in this unique forum brings together organizations with allied missions: AURI, MyFormulary

USA, Mercy Hospitality and Larta Institute. While the former three are based in, and work in Minnesota,

which is itself driving a truly world-class cluster in the field, Larta Institute is based in California, with

a worldwide mission to support innovation and solutions that feed, fuel and heal the world.

We are united in purpose and intent: to curate, educate and cultivate a community committed to

the future of food, and the future of health care. The nexus could not be more important, and more

relevant to our time. We hope that you will engage, interact and network to drive outcomes that are

meaningful and exciting to us all.

Welcome!
