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.
