The research reveals that improving healthy food access in low-income communities and communities of color continues to be an urgent need with nearly 30 million people living in low-income areas with limited access to supermarkets.

The webinar<https://cc.readytalk.com/cc/s/registrations/new?cid=r5gn53nwvzcw> will feature report authors along with a local government official. Speakers will discuss how findings from the new report can be used to expand healthy food access in communities across the country. Already, community leaders and advocates have been using resources such as the report and the Healthy Food Access Portal<http://www.healthyfoodaccess.org> to make their neighborhoods more livable and help local economies thrive.

Find out how you can use the new research to expand healthy food access in your community.
