Healthy Food Access Tasmania
We've been working on several projects with local governments across Tasmania, big and small.
The profiles include information about:
- why access to healthy food matters
- where healthy food, particularly fruit and vegetables, are readily available for purchase in the municipality
- local data about households who may have poor access to healthy food
- price and affordability for healthy food
- a framework for how to use a systems approach to making households more resilient to healthy eating
- local highlights of projects and programs
- suggestions for future action for the local government area.
We acknowledge the financial and other support from the federal Department of Health through Tasmania Medicare Local.
