    (2025-02-06) Gold, Abby; Laska, Melissa; Gebauer, Hilary; Schreiber, Liana; Welshons, Kate; Johnson, Nikki; Kriner-Woodworth, Emily; Page, Ashley; Busse, Noel
    The University of Minnesota Extension, in collaboration with the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health and the Minnesota Department of Health, conducted World Café discussions in November 2024 to explore Produce Prescription Programs (PPR) in Minnesota. These discussions aimed to identify key opportunities, challenges, and future directions for these programs. Five key themes emerged from the discussions, including sustainability and funding, networking and collaboration, logistics and managing expectations, centering community, and innovation. They suggest that the success and longevity of PPR programs in Minnesota, which are closely tied to the Food is Medicine (FiM) approach, will depend on strategic investments in sustainable funding mechanisms, the cultivation of robust, cross-sector partnerships, and the implementation of clear communication protocols. Additionally, centering community perspectives ensures that programs remain responsive to local needs, and fostering innovation can help programs leverage new opportunities for growth and impact. Overall, the World Café discussions set a foundation for advancing the integration of nutrition and health across Minnesota, contributing to improved community well-being and more effective PPR programs statewide.
