Policies can be regulatory, e.g., modifying parking regulations or updating school nutrition standards, or non-regulatory, e.g., expanding access to recreation assets or enabling more farmer’s markets. Across all policy areas, Blue Zones conducts significant outreach and education to increase understanding of how specific policies may impact well-being.
