Coalition for Grain Fiber set for Nov. 7
More than 70 leaders in agriculture, public health and nutrition will gather Nov. 7 to explore ways to improve human health and reduce healthcare costs by transforming the global food supply.
The Wheat Fiber for Rural Wealth and Health Roundtable will be hosted at the Graduate Hotel in Lincoln in cooperation with the Nebraska Food for Health Center at the University of Nebraska by the Coalition for Grain Fiber. The Nebraska Wheat Board will be the lead sponsor. Registration is now open to the public at www.fihf.org/events.
The agenda will focus on fighting chronic disease by increasing the dietary fiber in non-GMO, commodity wheat – one of the world’s most consumed foods. According to the coalition, improvements in the nutritional content of white and whole wheat flour are projected to save thousands of lives and billions of healthcare dollars globally.
