What is the ENACT Local Policy Database?
The Environmental Nutrition and Activity Local Policy Database is a searchable database designed to provide community advocates, health professionals, policymakers and those working in related fields with concrete examples of local-level policies that have been adopted and/or implemented to improve nutrition and physical activity environments. From joint use agreements to formula restaurant ordinances, we hope to capture what cities, counties, special districts, regional bodies and school districts are doing to make healthy eating and activity a more realistic option. This database is part of Prevention Institute’s work to support local efforts through Strategic Alliance, a statewide coalition of nutrition and physical activity advocates calling for corporate and government action to support healthy eating and activity in every community.
