O20: Building Capacity for Thoughtful Food Decision-making

Abstract

The Family and Community Food Decision-making Program builds family and community capacity for thoughtful food decisions through research and education. The Food Decision-making Toolkit builds capacity by encouraging participants to think about and discuss the issues relevant to their family and/or community. The Community Food System (CFS) tool is designed to help community food system stakeholders (community nutritionists, community development programmers, food assistance providers, educators, food growers and consumers) achieve their goals and create resilient community food systems through collaborations.
