The food environment where children live, learn and play shapes what they eat and how they think about food. We call each of these places ‘settings’.
Settings include:
For each setting, you will be collecting information on different indicators to help assess how healthy the food environment is. The indicators benchmark the following:

You can start your survey, save your results, and complete it over time. Working with a team of people to collect and enter the data will speed up the process. It’s a team effort!
