The Power of Food Forum is going virtual! The event will be held September 20-22, 2021 (same dates as was previously scheduled for the in-person meeting). Register today
to join the online conversations and opportunities to learn how to cultivate equitable policy through collective action.
HFPP team members will be facilitating the Deep Dive session, "What works to increase access to healthy food."
This session will dig into the research, strategies and policies for increasing healthy food access, including what we know about the barriers to healthy food access, the effectiveness of strategies, and the unintended consequences of policies. Attendees will
participate in a brainstorming discussion on new policy approaches.
Many of the policies featured in our upcoming session at the Power of Food Forum are included in the HFPP database
of innovative local healthy food policies. We focus on laws formally adopted by municipal governments such as counties, cities, towns, and villages.
In addition to narrowing database results with filters such as state and food system category, you can also use keywords to search for specific topics such as breastfeeding and lactation.
Happy National Breastfeeding month!
The
Healthy Food Policy Project (HFPP) identifies and elevates local laws that seek to promote access to healthy food while also contributing to strong local economies, an improved environment, and health equity, with a focus on socially disadvantaged
and marginalized groups.
