Across the country local stakeholders are adopting methods and strategies to improve access to healthy foods by advocating for policy change. This webinar uses The Food Trust’s recently published Healthy Food Financing Handbook: From Advocacy to Implementation to discuss how these efforts have led to the creation of healthy food financing initiatives at the city, state and federal level.

The webinar will offer a roadmap for how to successfully advocate for initiatives that improve access to healthy food through the development of healthy food retail. Additionally, the discussion will provide an overview of how healthy food financing initiatives are administered by government agencies, community development financial institutions, and food access organizations.

Featured Speakers:

• John Weidman, Deputy Executive Director, The Food Trust (moderator)
