Accomplishments

<p>Short-Term Outcomes: In Kentucky there are two extensive projects taking place to help improve access&nbsp; among low-income and geographically isolated communities. In Objective 1 Kentucky has been actively engaged with developing grocery store initiatives aimed at improving the consumer food environment in 6 rural high obese counties in Appalachia Kentucky. Several strategies have been implemented across 17 grocery stores (recipe sampling; cart signage; product placement at check out counters) as a way to increase purchases of healthy items.</p><br /> <p>The second project has been a peer based text message intervention among rural adolescents in KY and NC. The goal of this project is to develop and test how small weekly&nbsp; nudges from a peer via text messaging can improve food shopping and purchasing decisions among adolescents, ages 14-16. This project is in year 2 and all data collection has taken place among intervention participants, while delayed controls&nbsp; will receive a condensed version of messages in March of year 3. The benefits to date have yet to be understood.</p><br /> <p>In Texas, the Texas Grow, Eat, Go program was adopted by 94 counties in 2017, drawing on funds from the Texas A&amp;M AgriLIfe Extension Service program Better Living for Texans. The 35 counties that adopted this program in 2016 began to be avaluated.</p><br /> <p>Dr. Zoumenou representing the University of Maryland and representatives from four university to begin a project working with community members, businesses, and public health intities to reduce chronic illneeses and reduce health costs. This project was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Culture of Health Initiative.&nbsp;</p><br /> <p>Dr. Coker of Mississippi State University has continued to work the community and school gardens. Youth gardens that provide to food pantries.</p><br /> <p>Drs. Smith, Zoumenou, and McIntosh contributed to a paper session at the annual meeting of the Association for the Study of Food and Society held in Los Angeles CA in June 2017. These dealt with the use of PhotoVoice in order to get low-income children to talk about their urban food environment; the use of stories, music dance and visual tools for changing childrens habits; and time diaries for the study of everday acquiring and consuming food at the household level.</p><br /> <p>Outputs:</p><br /> <p>Heidelberger, L., Smith, C., Robinson-O&rsquo;Brien, R., Earthman, C., Robien, K.

Brief Summary of Minutes

Notes prepard by Virginie Zoumenou and Alex McIntosh


The NC1196 research group met In Columbus Ohio from Thursday October 25 to Friday October 26, 2018. On behalf of the group, I would like to thank Dr. Irene Hatsu for organizing a very productive meeting.
Introduction
Dr. Hector Santiago was introduced to the group. He provided us with a brief update from USDA.
All the members in attendance introduced themselves and their research activities
Research activities
Dr. Irene Hatsu: Conducted research activities related to homeless and food security. She received an NIH grant focusing on substance using and effects on children 0-5 year olds. She published 2 papers
Dr. Ardyth Gillepsie: Is conducting community activities related to local food system in Iowa much of it with regard to the production of local food for local consumption. She is also working on the introduction of a book.
Dr. Virginie Zoumenou: Continued working on Preschoolers and Childhood Obesity. The project will received more funding through the SNAP-Ed Program. A waste management component will be added to the preschoolers’ project. She also received A Robert Wood Johnson Foundation award to implement the culture of health initiative which is entitled “Well Connected Communities project”. This project focuses on “Healthy Street & Healthy Me” in three communities on the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Dr. Cherry Smith: Conducted several projects related to local food system and food insecurity in developing countries (Jamaica, Nepal). She focused on women and youth.
Dr. Alex McIntosh: Conducted focus groups of farmers some of whom practice no till and those who do not. As part of a second project focus groups made up of public health officials and members of NGOs concerned about the use of antibiotics in food animals.
A General Discussion Dealt with the Potential Changes in USDA. Some concern was expressed regarding the impact of the ability to continued funding for the projects that many of us have had in the past.
Working Group Discussion.
Food system literature review
Discussion regarding the need of an editor: Dr.Virginie Zoumenou shared with the group the information related to a Springer editor who contacted Dr. Gerad Middendorf. Cherry Smith also provided us with information regarding another editor interested by the project.
Decision: We decided not to focus on an editor but to focus on publishing 2 or 3 articles on the following topics for the literature review:
Topics
1. Food System: Food insecurity and safety net (Virginie Irene and Cherry)
2. Food System and history of gardening in US (Cherry –Christine-and Catherine )
3. Food System and Household behaviors & School system (Alex- Irene- Ardyth- Song)

March 2019 Team leader will submit the first draft
June 2019 Team Leader will submit the second draft in Alaska


Next year's meeting will be held at Texas A&M University in later October or early November

Accomplishments

<p>Milestones included the finding that in Indiana incentives in the form of meals discounts led to a reduction in food waste in by low-income indiviudals. In California while non-profit or community-driven stores have closed over time whereas nearly half of the commercial-driven and a third of government-initiated facilities canceled their plans to or closed their stores. In Michigan, more farmers were persuaded to grow nutrient-dense foods and increased high school student knowledge, awareness, skills and attitueds toward growing nutritional food in a sustainable manner. In Maryland, after research was done, food waste interventions at an elementary school declined. In Iowa, an open house was held for Celebration of Local Food and Farming toward the goal of connecting and creating a culture of cooperation among various types of farm operations from very small to industry size.&nbsp;</p><br /> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Accomplishments

<p>Virginie Zoumenou project the&nbsp;Well Connected Communities (WCC) Project aimed to engage three communities (Fruitland, Pocomoke, and Princess Anne-Eden) in implementing a culture of health initiative on the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland. Approximately a total of 250 youth, 50 adults, 12 community based organizations, seven businesses, and eight government agencies were involved in the project on the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland.&nbsp;&nbsp;Under youth and adults leadership,&nbsp;three projects were implemented: &ldquo;Healthy Street -Healthy Me&rdquo;, &ldquo;Make Fruits Available for All&rdquo;, and&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;</strong>Reading and Group Therapy Garden&rdquo;<strong>.&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;Approximately, five mini-orchards, including three at three Head Start Centers, were developed. The mini-orchards changed the educational environment at the selected Head Start Centers. In addition, through the collaborative effort of the WCC project, a farmers&rsquo; market policy was voted and passed in Fruitland, one of the selected communities.</p><br /> <p>Matt R. Raven and others finished a study on the findings from survey of livestock producers in Michigan&nbsp;that sought to better understand their interest and capacity to serve demands for local meat products. The data provides insights into trends in production, processing, and marketing that may be helpful in identifying producer needs and strategic planning, including. This is the report: Barry, Judith, Bielaczyc, Noel, Heisler, Daniell, Henne, Rebecca, Hembroff, Larry, Raven, Matt R<strong>.,</strong> Reed, Katherine, Cotter, Maria, and Howell, Kera.

Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems.</p><br /> <p>&nbsp;Matt R. Raven also reported that he also worked with the Savory Institute in the development of their Ecological Outcomes Verification (EOV) Program. EOV is an outcomes-based program that verifies if land is regenerating. It is part of Savory&rsquo;s Land2Market program which provides a label for meat, dairy, leather or wool that is grown on land verified to be regenerating in terms of ecosystems services (water cycle, mineral cycle, energy cycle and bio-diversity). This is the first outcomes based (rather than process based like USDA Organic) that is being used for labeling and marketing purposes on food and fiber. Currently it is in beta testing and slated to be implemented in the first quarter of 2020.</p><br /> <p>Melissa Pflugh Prescott reported that she and her colleauges had enrolled and collected baseline data from five schools in rural Illinois for interventions to promote improved diet quality and reduced food waste.&nbsp;</p><br /> <p>Alex McIntosh, who had worked on the development of the Texas Grow Eat Go Project, reported that four schools in San Antonio Texas adopted the cirriculum from the Texas Grow Eat Go Program.</p><br /> <p>Cathrine Brinkley made a talk from her journal article:&nbsp;&ldquo;If you Build it with them, they will come&rdquo;: What makes a supermarket intervention successful in a food desert?.&nbsp;<em>Journal of Public Affairs</em>, e1863. She also noted that she submitted a manuscript to the California Journal of Public Health reviewing street food policies.&nbsp;</p><br /> <p>&nbsp;James Rikoon and colleagues received the grant 2020 Missouri Food Pantry Client Survey funded by Funding Agency: Feeding Missouri for 2019-2020 and with a Project Period: 2019-2021&nbsp; and an award of $249.592.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br /> <p>&nbsp;</p>
