Centerscene - Summer 2009
This issue of CenterScene examines how local ideas help shape national policy through the Child Nutrition Act, which is currently up for federal reauthorization; talks to veteran food policy champion Kenneth Hecht; and considers the lessons learned from two Endowment-backed initiatives, Healthy Eating, Active Communities (HEAC) and the Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Network (CCROPP). These collaboratives of communities, working on their own local issues while learning from one another, have become powerful advocates for policy and systems changes: one school, one neighborhood, one city at a time. |
