Food Availability

Enough healthy food for all
What is food availability?
There are an adequate number of convenient food sources, offering a sufficient number and variety of healthy options in a community.

Goal

A diverse variety of healthy foods are more available, and unhealthy foods are less available in places where we work, live, learn, and play.

The Minnesota Food Charter will ensure we have healthy, affordable and safe food, building a legacy of health for future generations.
