Healthy Food in your Community: A Toolkit for Policy Change
This US-based toolkit aims to help readers navigate the food policy system and make steps towards improving access to healthy affordable food in their community. Readers will learn about key issues and policies related to food access, recognize how food policy decisions are made (and by whom), how to build relationships to influence food policy decisions, and take action for food policy change.
