Healthy Food Access and Nutrition Security
Healthy Food Access is the means to consistently find, afford, choose and use nutritious & safe food. Access to healthy food increases nutrition security, which emphasizes having the right kinds of nutritious foods versus simply having enough foods. Our team partners with community organizations and local health departments to work toward changes in systems and policies to promote healthy food access and nutrition security.
