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.
