1. Identify existing food system coalitions or councils serving the catchment area and engage or establish coalition(s) (HERJ activity 1) to review the food system settings landscape. Gather community input to assess how settings are meeting community needs and identify gaps or opportunities for food service and nutrition guidelines (HERJ activity 2). The Department will provide additional guidance for landscape review considerations. Additional landscape reviews and community assessments may be completed as needed. 2. Select priority settings and levers for strategy implementation (refer to Figure 1). 3. Identify and recruit regional or system-level partners to support strategy implementation. 4. Collaborate with coalitions or councils and recruited partners to plan and implement activities to promote adoption and implementation of guidelines in selected settings. Planning should prioritize CDC-recommended potential local activities and identify goals that are SMARTIE (HERJ activity 3). 5. Provide training, technical assistance, and resources to partners to support adoption and implementation of guidelines in selected settings. 6. Collaborate with coalitions, partners, and communities to develop and disseminate key communication messages and products to support this strategy (HERJ activities 1 and 2).
