Sadly, affordability continues to be a key barrier to accessing healthy fruit and vegetables across the globe as the cost of living escalates.“Food prescription” programs address this by giving financially disadvantaged healthcare patients debit card-based aid to buy healthy food from everyday shopping outlets.
