Research has been documenting the complexity of these interactions, but more research is needed to identify causal relationships and effective policy interventions. The objectives of the Atlas are: - to assemble statistics on food environment indicators to stimulate research on the determinants of food choices and diet quality, and - to provide a spatial overview of a community's ability to access healthy food and its success in doing so.
