Abstract This paper examines the development of a voluntary nutrition journal club to introduce undergraduate students to key concepts regarding critical reading of research articles in the nutrition profession. A nutrition faculty member and a librarian collaborated to establish and teach a journal club at the University of Akron. Twenty-three students attended the five sessions scheduled during the fall semesters from 2016 to 2018. Activities involved identifying common elements of primary research articles and evaluating articles using a modified guideline. Student assessments were positive. Limitations of reviewing articles, and overviews of the Institutional Review Board process and evidence-based practice are discussed.

Abstract Support for the agricultural sector from the European Union via the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is evolving. The last CAP reform in 2014 made one further step toward mandatory approaches. To understand the “social thinking” and behavior when faced with these measures, an innovative application has been adopted. Globally, the farmers’ discourse manifests contradictions between environmental concern and the financial dimension, which is the expression of their daily difficulties. Mandatory approaches to sustainable agriculture may favor what the Theory of Conditionality called “legitimate transgressions” if regulations appear unadapted to real practices because compliance and opportunity costs are too high.

Abstract The disconnect between the public and agricultural production is a growing concern for the Canadian agriculture industry. A lack of knowledge regarding food production can lead to distrust in the industry and in the safe, nutritious food grown on Canadian farms. To assess consumers’ level of agricultural knowledge, we surveyed consumers about agricultural production. Results reveal a lack of basic knowledge in most areas, and a particular deficit in the areas of crop protection, organic production, and advanced plant breeding technologies. Based on these results, we recommend that the agriculture industry focus education and communication efforts on these topics.

Food insecurity, what the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) terms low or very low food security, affects a frighteningly high percentage of families, more than 15% in 2018 (Coleman-Jensen, Rabbitt, Gregory, & Singh, 2019). Malnutrition, whether due to poverty, food deserts, or other factors, is nearly as common despite efforts to correct it. When the nutrients in food, such as vitamins, were first beginning to be understood, as many as one-third of schoolchildren were found to be malnourished (Read & Palmer, 1923). These authors vehemently considered childhood malnutrition to be a national concern, “To fail the undernourished child is but to fail the nation!” (Read & Palmer, 1923, p. 28). The problems present then and now include diets that lack variety, and specifically lack fruits and vegetables. School gardens can, in part, remedy these deficiencies. School lunches are part of what the USDA Economic Research Service labels as Food Away from Home (FAFH). Dining out is frequently higher in calories, salt, fat, and sugar per meal, compared to home-cooked meals (Saksena et al., 2018). School food sometimes suffers the same faults as other FAFH—especially when the food arrives at the school packaged and pre-portioned. School lunch programs are driven by policy and law, by cost, preparation and cooking time, and by what appeals to the students. There have been efforts for decades to associate gardens with schools as a source of fruits and vegetables, to provide opportunities for hands-on experiments and STEM education, and to provide physical, social, and psychological benefits. Kohlstedt (2008) describes a school gardening movement starting in the 1890s; she cites John Dewey as a proponent of using gardens to help cross the barrier between school learning and life skills. Blair specifies: “The purposes of the redesigned schoolyard are academic, behavioral, recreational, social (increased sense of belonging, self-esteem, and compassion), political (the schoolyard as a visible community asset), and environmental remediation” (2009, p. 16). Most current school garden programs belong to a single school and are run by parents, teachers, and

Abstract This article describes a successful collaborative effort between a branch and the main campus library at the University of Tennessee (UT), Knoxville, to digitize agricultural serials. Experts in agricultural content, preservation, digitization, and metadata worked to preserve three agricultural print publications and make approximately 3800 issues discoverable for patrons on campus and beyond. This discussion provides a background to Extension and the Experiment Station in Tennessee, outlines previous attempts made to digitize agricultural serials at UT Libraries, and details decisions made during the digitization process and metadata creation. These experiences offer a model for other libraries pursuing similar digitization projects.
