Healthy Food Access Report Released
Food Deserts Presentation
Citing Social Compact’s DrillDown reports, PolicyLink and The Food Trust release a comprehensive healthy food access report.
PolicyLink and The Food Trust are pleased today to release “The Grocery Gap: Who Has Access to Healthy Food and Why It Matters” – a first-of-its-kind review of all the available research data on the issue. That’s more than 130 studies conducted during the past 20 years.
Access to healthy food is a key tool in battling our dual crises of obesity and diabetes. A $400 million Healthy Food Financing Initiative, proposed by the Obama Administration, would provide a crucial start – not to mention create tens of thousands of jobs in communities that desperately need them.
