EmailHealthy food access challenges in northeast and northwest Lower Michigan are described in two new reports from the MSU Center for Regional Food Systems.
Any community interested in understanding residents’ food access can use these examples of studies that provide local insights as well as information that can be compared with other communities statewide through the Michigan Good Food Charter Shared Measurement Project.
The reports provide data and graphics that show challenges to accessing healthy food in three rural Michigan counties – Benzie, Antrim, and Oscoda. The reports also offer recommendations for improving healthy food access in these communities.
