The TCPA guide advocates that developers should consider the food environment (food retail and food growing) as one of the key elements of good place-making. This Practical Guide also suggests tools and mechanisms which can be adopted by local authorities and delivery partners.
The principle for the food environment is encapsulated as: “Providing the local community with access to a diversity of food outlets selling healthy food options, and the opportunity to grow their own food in designated public and private spaces accessible from the home, school, or workplace.”
