This article presents a case study of how a heath advocacy organization in Los Angeles, CA, Community Health Councils (CHC), partnered with city planners and other allies to integrate food issues into three community plans. It finds that the CHC model provides a framework for a successful community participation process to improve community plans that consider integrated food systems and other health issues.
