Roundtable: Strategies for Healthy Choices


Roundtable: Strategies for Healthy Choices
August 18th, 2015
Hosted at PolicyLink in Oakland, CA
FS6 held a forum focused on the health outcomes side of the food system.  A group of thought-leaders and innovators discussed various strategies that impact and drive eating choices.  The discussion offered insights about how our environment and community influence demand-side behavior and how those learnings can be applied in the market and the field.  We also had a panel discussion on ways to measure impact to increase effectiveness and engage communities.
