Several resources are available to help you think about how to increase consumption of nutritious foods (e.g., fruits, vegetables, multigrain cereals, fish) in your community. For background on changing food consumption patterns (e.g., calorie intake, fruit and vegetable intake, nutrient intake), increasing access to healthy foods (e.g., availability, variety, price) and improving food supply factors (e.g., agriculture policy, food production and storage), please visit the following websites:

Nutrition is also related to other risk factors that can be prevented. Several of these risk factors are described along with specific intervention strategies in the Intervention MICA system, including:
- Physical Activity
- Obesity
Intervention MICA provides information, tools and resources to help you figure out how to increase the number of people in your community who eat healthy.
