Access to Healthy Food: A Review of the Research Available at: Accessing healthy food is a challenge for many Americans – particularly in low-income neighborhoods, communities of color, and rural areas. Better access corresponds with healthier eating and lower risk for obesity and other diet-related diseases. Healthy food retail creates jobs and helps to revitalize communities.

Phases & Activities

Healthy Food Incentives: Access and affordability

First statewide incentive program 150+ sites permission from USDA to pilot in 3 grocery stores in Detroit “Moving Double Up into groceries across the state means we will reach more low-income families and help more Michigan farmers sell more produce to their neighbors.” - Oran Hesterman (President and CEO, Fair Food Network)

The Farm Bill Healthy Food Financing through USDA:  $125 million authorized Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive (FINI) Program  new competitive grant program to provide incentives to SNAP participants to increase their purchase of fruits and vegetables

Resource: Healthy Food Access Web Portal

Discussion How do food access and local food systems connect in Idaho? Are similar models underway in your state? Would any of these approaches work here?
