The following table provides a general list of groups that need to be involved for the successful planning, design or delivery of food infrastructure for planetary health projects; it is offered as a working draft or a guide for you and your teams to upgrade together.
This webinar explored how healthy food and food systems contributed to improvements in patient, public, and ecosystem health. It discussed aligning planning, design, and delivery of food infrastructures with planetary health values. The authors of the Food Infrastructures for Planetary Health playbook presented ways to integrate planetary health into decision-making, including opportunities across the facilities delivery lifecycle and approaches to driving system change. Speakers from across Canada shared efforts to transform health system food environments. The event was presented by CASCADES in partnership with Nourish and Green Care.
This worksheet is part of the Food Infrastructures for Planetary Health Playbook, which aims tosupport informed decision-making related to food infrastructures for planetary health throughout the planning, design, construction, ongoing operation retrofitting (and even decommissioning) of Canadian healthcare facilities. These sequential stages are known as the Facilities Delivery Lifecycle
This playbook aims to support informed decision-making related to foodinfrastructures for planetary health throughout the planning, design, construction and ongoing operation of Canadian healthcare facilities.
