The brief looks at the challenge of providing healthy diets in urban environments, presenting eight policy recommendations which integrate actions from food, agriculture and nutrition into urban planning, education, health, sanitation, water and infrastructure development.
Eight goals with measurable targets and clear deadlines for improving the lives of the world’s poorest people.
To meet these goals and eradicate poverty, leaders of 189 countries signed the historic millennium declarations at the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000. At that time, eight goals that range from providing universal primary education to avoiding child and maternal mortality were set with a target achievement date of 2015.

Carolyn Zezima, Director of Food and Nutrition Initiatives, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Despite increasing recognition that fresh, healthy, local foods are scarce in low-income communities, and the creation of a number of healthy food initiatives targeting these communities, historically underserved communities still lack novel, profitable, and sustainable businesses that supply healthy, affordable and taste-satisfying foods. Bringing together the business and public health sectors, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine invited business students to submit concepts and plans for viable, market and community-driven business solutions to one of our most pressing public health needs: healthy, affordable food in underserved communities. The proposed enterprises must have served communities with limited availability to healthy foods, be tailored to the particular assets and challenges in the communities, and must be developed in consultation with target communities. Proposals were judged by a panel of experts in business, food and local government. Teams competed for $25,000 in start-up funds and other business support services.

Editor's Notes
At Multnomah County, we have been asking the question what is next for our local food system movement ? What is on the frontier for public health? There’s no doubt that Mult Co and PDX region are at the epicenter of a growing national interest in local food that started on May 29, 1973 with the passage of OR Senate Bill 100 that gave Portland one of its best resources – a thriving farmbelt ringing the metro area. Now we have over 20 farmers’ markets, over 65 community-supported agriculture farms, and a plethora of restaurants and grocery stores that feature local food. There is also no doubt that our community is progressive in tackling the social determinants of health, especially the critical role that food and our food system plays in the development of chronic diseases. So the question is: Have we arrived or have we just started? Many of us believe that we have just started. Mult Co has been very active in the past 2 years on local food FPC, County Digs, CROPS, Hope Garden, HB 2763, Health Equity Initiative There are many such efforts underway in this region Ecotrust – Food Hub OFB – Plant a Row Kaiser Permanente – thrive campaign and partnering with farmers New Seasons & Burgerville keeping it local and supporting regional economy PSU – Food Assessment Every organization in this room has been doing terrific work on some piece of our food system
We see this as a resource for anyone looking at how to advance local and regional food system development and to support good food And we see this as a tool for starting conversations with all sorts of different stakeholder groups And a rallying point around which everyone who is supportive of the vision can come together In fact we have had all different types of organizations sign the Resolution of Support for the charter, from farmers, to food banks, food distributors and retailers, public health groups, economic development groups, educator associations as well as MDA and MDCH
Quote – now we have a plan of our own - strength of Plan is by our community, for our community - we have a shared vision & goals

Oakland struggles with high rates of obesity, poverty, food insecurity, and hunger. There are stark disparities in services and health across different geographic areas of Oakland. When we formulated our recommendations, we were keeping in mind the interlocking components of a healthy food system Also keeping in mind everything we have learned – both through research and community process – about the Oakland food system and the needs/desires of the community Large complex system Chose simple “first steps”
If we nurture and support what is beginning to happen, imagine what we could do… FOOD IS A TOOL for us to use to solve many problems. If we solve the food problem, much else will follow. Food is connected to: Health Happiness Jobs Waste Energy We have ten recommended “FIRST STEPS”, and lots more detail to share on each idea. Many of these ideas don’t require a lot of money, but rely instead on changes in regulation, or social marketing campaigns. Much activity currently on: Urban ag EPPP Mobile vending
