The GusNIP-PPR, Assistance Listing 10.331, presents the opportunity to bring together stakeholders from distinct parts of the food and healthcare systems and to foster understanding of how prescribing fresh (ONLY) fruits and vegetables might improve the nutrition and health status of participating households. The primary goals of the GusNIP-PPR are to demonstrate and evaluate the impact of projects on:1. The improvement of dietary health through increased consumption of fruits and vegetables; 2. The reduction of individual and household food insecurity; and 3. The reduction in healthcare use and associated costs.
