Abstract

Mobile food markets (MFM) are interventions which can support healthy eating within lower-income communities. Community partnerships are important in sustaining the Halifax MFM, but little is known about how partnerships function in this context. The proposed project will explore how partnerships operate to influence outcomes of the MFM in Halifax.
