Nourishing Almere

improving healthy food access for low-income individuals


Beschrijving

This report, commissioned by Aeres University of Applied Sciences Almere, outlines how local food initiatives and other community support systems can help to enhance access to healthy food for socio-economically vulnerable groups in Almere. Through literature research, interviews with stakeholders, and a survey among the target group, the main accessibility barriers in accessing healthy food were identified. The results show that the availability of healthy food for socio-economically disadvantaged groups is not just influenced by financial constraints, but also by spatial, social, and knowledge aspects. The report provides concrete recommendations for meaningful change, such as better collaboration between actors, awareness raising, and spatial interventions in the food environment. These results can be used by policymakers, local initiatives, and other stakeholders do develop a more sustainable and equitable food strategy for Almere, where healthy food is accessible to everyone.Keywords: healthy food; Socio-economically vulnerable groups; Accessibility barriers; Recommendations for meaningful change; Food environment theory
