As a business professional, you have the ability to make crucial and needed changes for the health of our communities because of your aptitude in business.

The Grains for Health Foundation has networking opportunities for business-minded professionals looking to advance their portfolio of successful enterprises. We are connected with the leading researchers in the grain and health fields on the cutting edge of new findings and important discoveries.

Not only can we facilitate the communication between you and the researchers and supporters that make up these communities, but your input into what the market demands can focus and prioritize research efforts.

Your questions, answered:

Is there money to be made in the healthy-foods industry?
Short answer: Yes. The demand for healthier foods grows each year and being at the forefront of a future mass-market movement can mean huge financial successes if health products are marketed wisely.

Why focus on grain-based foods for a new business proposition?
Access to the product is vast—the US has been growing grains for hundreds of years. Grains are the base of our diets and the primary vehicle for delivering added ingredients. Business-minded individuals who can see an opportunity in creating healthy grain foods hold the power for making gradual improvements to the overall health of the food supply.

How can I use grain-based food business opportunities to promote my brand or target my health-conscious consumers?
Creating a healthy, grain-based food product makes choosing between products a no-brainer for the consumer: whole grain wins out every time. Foods including healthy grains entice health-conscious consumers to purchase your product and increase the demand for additional healthy products. Healthy, grain-based foods demonstrate a company’s commitment to health and wellness and support the entire grain industry as they ramp up their supply of whole grains to the mass market.

How can Grains for Health Foundation support our research and development department to forward healthy, grain-based foods?
We are the crucial connection to both the current researchers in the grain and health industries as well as grain scientists and producers. We’re the needed liaison, opening channels of communication so you can get ahead in your grain-based business venture. Grains for Health also works to create the supply chain infrastructure and consumer environment supporting the demand for healthy products so businesses can be profitable while carrying a healthy food portfolio.
