Secretary Vilsack highlighted the Obama administrations efforts to increase access to healthy food in communities throughout the country by visiting the Fresh Moves Mobile Market Bus, a renovated Chicago Transit Authority Bus in Chicago, Illinois on Friday, June 8, 2012. The bus delivers fresh, affordable fruits and vegetables to Austin and North Lawndale, two neighborhoods with limited access to fresh produce. Secretary Vilsack commended Mayor Emanuel’s commitment to healthy food access and announced United States Department of Agriculture support for the expansion of mobile markets in Chicago, as well as a research project to assess the impact of mobile markets as a strategy to increase healthy food access in rural and urban communities.
