One of LiveWell Colorado's key strategies is policy change – at the local, state and national levels. Part of this work includes developing the framework for coordinated, strategic, statewide work plans that will guide statewide efforts in a variety of policy arenas.
LiveWell Colorado’s Policy Blueprints will identify what’s working throughout the state as well as areas where gaps exist. It will provide a comprehensive scan of current policy efforts and identify opportunities for future policy work - at the community, state and federal levels.
Because the policy environment is constantly in flux, these foundational Blueprints will be updated and revised as new information becomes available and new policies are implemented.
Food Policy Blueprint
Food and nutrition policy will help LiveWell Colorado achieve its mission “to inspire and advance policy, environmental, and lifestyle changes that promote health through the reduction of obesity” by advancing healthy and resilient food systems throughout the state. This Blueprint seeks to identify the most pressing policy needs and opportunities to strengthen access to healthy foods in Colorado.
