PURPOSE AND 
CASE FOR ACTION

MULTI-STAKEHOLDER INNOVATION

GLOBAL
COMMUNITY

The NOURISH Movement is a passionate group of global leaders coming together to empower human health through food, sustainably.  

We are bringing together and uniting worlds that do not normally come together—the worlds of food, healthcare and technology—to collaborate in new ways through a multi-stakeholder innovation model designed around grand challenges.  

We believe more scalable approaches can emerge and spring forth from this kind of creative and courageous collaboration.  
For us, the thread, the constant in all of this, is the core belief that getting the right food and nutrition to each person can unlock bold new possibilities.

This is not a new idea. In fact, it is rooted deeply in a beautifully ancient concept best embodied by the words of Hippocrates when he said, “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”

OUR APPROACH

Multi-stakeholder innovation platform

We are tackling these challenges through the use of Open Forums: our multi-stakeholder innovation platform where we will bring together a deliberately diverse and carefully curated set of stakeholders from the food, health and technology sectors to tackle grand challenges within food IS medicine that, if addressed, could unlock tremendous market potential.  

The Open Forum model is a proven approach applied across multiple sectors, built upon Clareo’s leading innovation methodology.

NOTE: Open Forums leverage Clareo’s proprietary innovation methodology and process.

Challenge Domains

Through our Open Forum model we will be tackling thestructural barriers that keep us from scaling food-is-medicine efforts:
Healthy Food Access & Choice
Personalized Health & Nutrition
Healthcare-Engaged Interventions

Scaling healthy food access, empowering choice

It's one thing to say we want consumers to eat more healthfully, but how do we ensure consumers are able to access healthy nutrition when they need it? How do we expose and spotlight vulnerabilities in healthy food systems within communities, and leverage the power of technology and data to ensure the right food gets to the right people at the right time? And how do we get them to choose healthy options? 

Scaling personalized health & targeted nutrition

How might we take advantage of emerging science-based approaches (microbiome, sensing technologies, computational nutrition, and other advancements) and make targeted, precision and even personalized food a reality? What are the barriers, and what will be required and what can be done through creative partnering and new innovations to cross the chasm? 

Scaling healthcare-engaged food-is-medicine initiatives

What can be done to scale food-is-medicine interventions (produce prescriptions, food "farmacies", medically-tailored meals, and more) that have been shown to work, and deliver health outcomes? What are the most promising approaches? How can we better align the needs and expectations of stakeholders, foster creative partnering, align economic incentives and create new funding models that can help accelerate health outcomes—at scale?

OUR STORY

From a Catalyst to a Global Coalition focused on innovation and impact

Our story was set in motion by an in-kind partnership between Clareo and The World Innovation Network (TWIN). In 2018, we launched a TWIN Catalyst focused on Nourishing the World to 2050: Empowering Human Health through Food.

Our journey has involved forums, global dialogues, round table events, a 4-day immersive Catalyst session in Amsterdam and conversations with several hundred leading global thought leaders, experts and innovators. The NOURISH Movement consortium effort, currently led by Clareo, continues to gain momentum. We’ve convened cross-sector global working groups that have advanced from ideas to executable concepts, and are ready to shift from ideas to action - starting with our upcoming Open Forums in 2021.
