WASHINGTON (AP) — More than a dozen sports leagues and players associations have promised the White House that they will provide more opportunities for people to exercise and learn about nutrition and healthy lifestyles.

Officials say the agreements are part of a national strategy that President Joe Biden set in 2022 to end hunger and reduce diet-related diseases by 2030.
