The American food system does not fulfill its promises of abundant, affordable foods to alleviate hunger and malnutrition, producing, instead, an environmentally and economically unsustainable homogenous food supply full of unhealthful, ultra-processed, hyper-palatable foods associated with the epidemic of chronic nutrition-related diseases and premature mortality. This presentation surveys viable small-scale remedies to repair the broken promises of environmental, economic and social sustainability in America’s food system, focusing on individual and community-based food production and distribution practices that increase access to local, affordable, and diverse fresh, healthful foods that can reduce hunger, improve food security, enhance food justice, reduce economic inequality, and promote health equity by alleviating malnutrition, especially overnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies associated with the intake of ultra-processed and other hyper-palatable foods
