Summary

Researchers at Cornell University are testing whether a produce prescription program helps adults who have diet-related conditions and trouble affording food. Participants receive weekly boxes of fresh local produce for 8 to 24 weeks and attend eight nutrition education classes. The study measures changes in fruit and vegetable intake, food security, and physical and mental health. About 200 adults enrolled in a specific health plan take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A produce prescription program that provides weekly fresh local produce along with nutrition education classes
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give health plans and clinics a practical way to use food as preventive care, helping people with diet-related conditions eat better and worry less about affording fresh produce.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results depend on whether participants pick up the produce and attend classes. People may struggle to change long-standing eating habits, and the findings may not apply to people outside this specific health plan.
