As the focus on healthy retail food environments has increased, a wide range of resources have been developed to support the implementation of healthy food retail initiatives. Despite this, these can be difficult to find, resulting in duplication of effort and decreased opportunities to learn from the success of other initiatives. Informed by a recent grey literature review (to be published soon), we have created this repository of international resources to support the implementation of healthy food retail initiatives.

This is a living repository, so please let us know at re-fresh@deakin.edu.au if you know of resources that are missing, or if any of the links are broken. We also welcome your general feedback on this resource. If you are the owner of a resource that we have linked to and would like to propose changes, please contact us at re-fresh@deakin.edu.au
