Fresno County:
The
Fresno Community Food Assessment 2003-2005
The Fresno Community Food Assessment (CFA) has trained over
80 local neighborhood leaders, conducted over 850 survey-assessments
of consumers and 131 retail store surveys, and collected data
by City Council and County Supervisor Districts. The goals of
the CFA were to increase healthy food access, reduce nutritional
health disparities, link Fresno agriculture business to fresh
food access, and to form a Food Policy Council. The CFA project
led by Fresno Metro Ministries, recruited local organizations
and residents to do the surveying using a train the trainer
method. The CFA focused on five low-resource communities in
Fresno County. While data collection is complete, the findings
and recommendations are still being finalized.
