Federal Support of State-level Food Policy

PolicyMap and TRF’s analysis of areas with low-access to supermarkets was recently featured in a new publication from the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The document provides public health practitioners with an overview of how to develop an assessment of their state’s or community’s food retail environment and lists PolicyMap as a resource that health practitioners can turn to when trying to understand the dynamics in the neighborhoods in which they work. You can read more here on the CDC’s document or call us for more information.
