New Research to Help Expand Healthy Food Access in Your Community
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Pacific / 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Eastern
 New
research in a joint report by PolicyLink and The Food Trust,
Access to Healthy Food and Why It Matters: A Review of the Research, underscores healthy food access as the foundation necessary for reaping the positive benefits associated with healthy food. 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 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 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.
