The city of Indianapolis wants to put more fruits and vegetables on residents’ plates—and the city’s efforts to do so could help build a playbook for similar initiatives in other U.S. cities.

“We are committed to doubling the fruit and vegetable consumption of Marion County residents by 2030,” said Milele Kennedy, program administrator for the city of Indianapolis’ Division of Community Nutrition and Food Policy, which is part of the Office of Public Health and Safety.

Indianapolis and Denver have been selected as two cities that will work with the Maryland-based Partnership for a Healthier America and the International Fresh Produce Association, a Delaware-based trade group, to achieve the goal.
