Benchmarking Food Environments

Children and families are more likely to
eat healthier foods when they are available, affordable and promoted. Check how your
community is doing compared to benchmarks for a healthy food environment.

Your community’s food environment affects
what people eat. Collect local data and create a Community Nutrition Report Card,
which tells you how your community is doing compared to benchmarks for a healthy
food environment. This app-generated report contains community indicators and their
score, suggested Recommendations, and Resources/Success Stories. Website-based
Learning Modules guide you through each step of the process.
