• Establishing just food policy and supporting community-led nutrition projects.
• Setting nutrition standards and promoting best practices for City agencies, hospital systems, and early childhood education.
• Improving access to fresh produce and appealing drinking water.
• Making neighborhoods safer with built environment improvements and opportunities for physical activity.
• Helping health care providers educate their patients and community.
• Addressing broader determinants of healthy eating and active living, including housing conditions.
