Building A Healthier Atlanta Initiative
Helping Atlanta residents access and create higher-nutrition local options
Building a Healthier Atlanta.
We're on a mission to make nutritious eating and healthy living accessible in every Atlanta neighborhood. Join us to uplift communities with better options and stronger health.
About
Atlanta Local-Health & Nutrition
The Building A Healther Atlanta Initiative connects locals, businesses, and data to make higher-nutrition options easier to find, buy, and share. Together, we launch Atlanta Local Specials and programs that celebrate Atlanta while improving health.
Our Mission
Make nutritious living accessible in every Atlanta neighborhood through measurement, partnership, and mobilization.
Our Vision
Become Atlanta's trusted hub for healthier choices with transparent data, equitable partnerships, and visible neighborhood impact.
How We Do It
We score menues (0-5) and co-create higher-nutrition specials with local operators. The evidence powers every Atlanta Local Special and every healthier choice you see.
Nutritional Food Desert Study
This project aims to visualize the concept of nutrional food deserts, focusing on whether access to healthy food varies by location. Inspired by "Banking Desert" studies, the goal is to show how lack of access to nutritious options may correlate with health outcomes such as diabetes and high blood pressure
How to Get Involved
If you’re a local restaurant, grocer, farmer, gym, or health professional, you can partner with us to launch your own Atlanta Local Special .
If you’re a resident, you can join our community to get weekly higher-nutrition picks and maps of the best spots near you.
And if you’re a sponsor, creator, or just someone who cares about Atlanta’s health, you can support the initiative by funding neighborhood campaigns , spreading the word, or becoming an Atlanta Local Health Ambassador . No matter who you are, there’s a place for you in this movement.
