Can better nutrition lead to a healthier population, planet?

This Earth Day, the connection between human health and planetary health is clearer than ever.

A recent Deloitte perspective highlights how food, nutrition, and sustainability are deeply intertwined and how innovative tools like Swap It Smart, developed with partners at UC Davis, are helping translate complex data into real-world decisions that improve both health and environmental outcomes.

At the UC Davis Innovation Institute for Food and Health (IIFH), we’re proud to be part of this movement alongside partners like the Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI), advancing research that connects soil, food systems, and human health.

From rethinking medical education to embedding sustainability into food design, collaboration across sectors is key to building healthier people and a healthier planet.
