New guide aims to boost community food initiatives

Eating healthy food should not be the preserve of the well-off, according to a new guide aimed at promoting healthier eating in disadvantaged communities.

The guide, compiled by the Healthy Food for All (HFfA) campaign, provides advice on how to set up community food projects including food cooperatives; community cafés, food-growing projects; breakfast and after-school clubs; and community-based training courses in nutrition and healthy eating.
