Goal FA-1: The City promotes healthy eating and reduces food insecurity among low-income residents in Priority Equity Communities.

POLICY: Access to healthy foods. Ensure convenient access to affordable, fresh produce and healthy foods in all neighborhoods, including grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and community gardens, particularly in Priority Equity Communities.

POLICY: Transit to healthy food retailers. Improve ready access to healthy food retailers along key transit corridors and within transit-oriented developments. Work with local transit agencies to ensure that bus routes provide service from Priority Equity Communities to healthy food retailers.

POLICY: Low-cost and free food programs. Collaborate with local school districts, community partners, and the County of San Bernardino’s Department of Public Health to support low-cost and free food programs for food insecure households.

POLICY: Food waste diversion. Partner with local grocery stores, restaurants, and other food retailers to divert food waste and donate extra food to local food banks, soup kitchens, and shelters.

POLICY: Urban agriculture. Encourage edible landscapes, fruit trees, community gardens, and other forms of urban agriculture in the City’s parks and public spaces.
