National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health

GSA Commitments:

• Pillar 3—Empower All Consumers to Make and Have Access to Healthy Choices: Foster environments that enable all people to easily make informed, healthy choices, increase access to healthy food, encourage healthy workplace and school policies, and invest in public education campaigns that are culturally appropriate and resonate with specific communities.  

  • Create healthier food environments and a healthier food supply so the healthier choice is the easier choice.

  • Expand access to healthier environments in federal facilities  

  • The General Services Administration (GSA) will promote nutrition and physical activity at its child care centers  

• Pillar 4—Support Physical Activity for All: Make it easier for people to be more physically active—in part by ensuring that everyone has access to safe places to be active—increase awareness of the benefits of physical activity, and conduct research on and measure physical activity.   

  • Support robust and tailored physical activity education and promotion.   

  • Facilitate physical activity in federal facilities. 

  • To serve as a model employer, GSA will reinvigorate the Consider the Stairs campaign in all federal facilities through new signage to encourage employees to take the stairs instead of elevators. GSA will also post best practices from the campaign to GSA’s website to encourage other employers to adopt this concept.
