Nearly 56,000 households in the Buffalo Niagara region lack easy access to a supermarket. This has to change.
The solution? Community-based initiatives to increase access to fresh & healthy food, including neighborhood-owned grocery stores, community gardens, & farmers markets.

Another example of how this pandemic deepens health disparities: @Walgreens offers free covid testing but only through their drive through locations (read mostly suburban) and only to people with cars. If you don’t have or can’t afford a car you can’t get tested.

"It's one of the biggest failures in the pandemic right now. There's one system for people who have SNAP and another for people who don't. It's really frustrating," said Lucia Leone, of @CHILabUB. Read more from @nmeyersohn @CNNBusiness #healthyfoodretail buff.ly/2KjhEzK

A7: Our policy review found that financial incentives for fruits & veggies, revisions to the WIC food package & sugary drink taxes improved dietary behaviors. Sugary drink taxes can provide revenue for city programs & community-led health projects bit.ly/34dmhm4 #FoodFri
Q7: How can policies help build a healthier and more equitable food retail environment? #FoodFri

A9: Policy makers should connect and converse with the end consumers more. I think this would create more effective food systems for everybody. #FoodFri
Q9: How do we build more resilient food systems and ensure #healthyfoodretail access for all Americans? #FoodFri
And financially secure people support healthy food businesses too!
A9: Improved access is part of the solution. We also need to support policies that lift people out of poverty. Financially secure families make healthy food choices. #FoodFri
A9. We need shorter more flexible supply chains. Small farmers and producers can more easily switch distribution channels during a pandemic. Many large food aggregators with national distribution cannot. Bigger in this case is not better! #foodfri
Q9: How do we build more resilient food systems and ensure #healthyfoodretail access for all Americans? #FoodFri
A8. Support small local food businesses, especially those that prioritize food access in their mission and sell a variety of locally produced fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods. Join a COOP or #CSA, support a #mobilemarket #foodfri
Q8: What can families and advocates do to help promote a healthy food retail environment in their own communities? #FoodFri
