Our community guide is about the healthy foods in our community. Ferreries, our neighbourhood in Tortosa, our town, is where we will be investigating. There are many places that sell food in our community. We showed different options from the shops we visited. The food environment map has photos to show the healthy food. Our goal is to improve food security.

Cost
Cost
In most of the places we visited, healthy food is not cheap, but the price is justified because of its quality.

Accessibility
In general, the entrances don't have ramps.
Many places in Tortosa are accessible because there is public transport near these places.

Options
There are nutritious food options in the greengrocer's or in the butcher's, such as salads and countless amounts of vegetables. But there are no nutritious foods in other places like in some restaurants and in bakeries, such as hamburgers, croissants…
In the supermarkets, there are nutritious foods and unhealthy foods.
There is a problem of options for people who are from different cultures.

We observed that there are healthy options in our city.
Regarding nutritious food availability, there are some shops usually open from 9:00 to 21:00, except at lunchtime.
Regarding cost, nutritious food is often affordable.
Regarding accessibility, some shops aren’t accessible because they haven’t got any ramps.
Regarding options, people can easily find some options that are healthy food.
The area we researched was Ferreries.
This map shows the restaurants, little shops and the supermarkets that we went to analyse. It also shows the position of our high school.
It includes descriptions of the information of these places.
FOOD SECURITY
One possible solution to improve food security in our community is to put more ramps on the entrances of grocery shops, that way more people will have access.
Another solution could be to regulate the prices to be more regular, because healthy food is not very cheap, but unhealthy food is cheaper.
The idea of improving the food security that we believe is most important to our community is to give free food samples in restaurants, supermarkets, and so on, so people try food from different places and start buying them. If there is more demand, there will be more supply.
