ABSTRACT Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) are experts in a wide range of food, health and nutrition topics. RDNs also play an important role in supporting sustainable food systems. However, not all RDNs and other food system stakeholders realize RDN’s role in supporting sustainable food systems – applying a skillset that is central to the RDN profession. Using the lens of the five professional entry points identified by the Cultivating Sustainable Food and Water Systems: A Nutrition-Focused Framework for Action, we provide a snapshot of how a clinical, retail and public health dietitian support sustainability in their local food system every day.

ABSTRACT As studies examining the effectiveness of food security interventions collectively are sparse, this review examined the most effective community-based and system-level interventions that have increased nutritious food consumption across food-insecure populations. Following PRISMA-guidelines, 22 articles included were classified into six categories: Educational and Behavioral Programs; Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs; Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer; Discounted Food Options; Emergency Food Assistance Programs; and Multicomponent Programs. This review concludes that future considerations for positively impacting food security and nutritious food intake should give attention to community and system-level multicomponent interventions that address the specific social and economic barriers facing the target population.

ABSTRACT A variety of policies and practices have been implemented to increase participation in the National School Breakfast Program (SBP) and the impact of these initiatives on SBP participation is not known. The purpose of this study was to determine whether new SBP policies and practices implemented in North Carolina were associated with an improvement in SBP participation. A mixed modeling approach was used to assess longitudinal patterns of change in district-level and school-level SBP participation rates between 2007 and 2015. Most of the policy initiatives implemented in NC were associated with an increase in participation either at the school or district level.

ABSTRACT The Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) Heartland project is a USDA Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive funded program designed to incentivize the purchase of fruits and vegetables (FV) by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) clients. This study examined the influence of DUFB Heartland on food security, FV intake, and health-related quality of life. Food-insecure SNAP participants experienced physically (p < .05, d = 0.26) or mentally (p < .001, d = 0.40) unhealthy days more often than those who were food secure. Food-insecure respondents reported more positive effects from DUFB Heartland compared to food-secure respondents (p < .01, V = 0.20).
双重食品资金(DUFB)心脏地带项目是美国农业部粮食不安全营养激励资助的项目，旨在激励补充营养援助计划(SNAP)客户购买水果和蔬菜(FV)。本研究考察了DUFB心脏地带对食品安全、FV摄入和健康相关生活质量的影响。食物不安全的SNAP参与者比食物安全的参与者更经常经历身体(p < 0.05, d = 0.26)或精神(p < 0.001, d = 0.40)不健康的日子。与粮食安全的受访者相比，粮食不安全的受访者报告了来自DUFB Heartland的更多积极影响(p < 0.01, V = 0.20)。

ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze anemia in children from the Caribbean Region of Colombia. The prevalence of anemia by sociodemographic variables was estimated, and the Chi-square test was used to identify associations between sociodemographic variables and anemia. Also, overall anemia sociodemographic risk factors were identified using multivariable logistic regression. Results showed that there is a high probability of suffering anemia in younger children, children from the poorest families, and males. These findings indicate a need to address this problem from a multidisciplinary approach, prioritizing actions targeting the population groups at risk of anemia in early childhood.

ABSTRACT This survey (n = 1,356) reports food insecurity (FI) in Puerto Rico (PR) at 38% before, and 40% since, the COVID-19 pandemic. Odds for FI increased for households with annual income ≤$15k vs. ≥$60k (OR: 3.52; 95% CI: 1.20, 10.36); experiencing an income reduction (OR: 2.22 (1.55, 3.18)); participating in the United States Department of Agriculture Nutrition Assistance Program (OR: 1.75 (1.14, 2.70)); higher food acquisition anxiety (OR: 1.45 (1.29, 1.64)); increased home availability of fruit-flavored drinks (OR: 1.52 (1.04, 2.22)), whereas increased fruit availability was protective (OR: 0.63 (0.43, 0.93)). Results heighten the need to examine FI strategies in PR.

ABSTRACT We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate the association between household food insecurity (HFI) and prevalence of underweight, stunting, diarrhea and respiratory illness (RI) in school-age children in New Delhi, India. Mothers of 191 children aged 8–12 years were interviewed to collect HFI data using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale. Moderate-severe HFI was identified in 43.6% of the households. The odds for diarrhea, RI and stunting were increased by 4.7, 3.3 and 2.3 times respectively in food insecure children than food secure counterparts. HFI was not associated with underweight. There is an urgent need for effective strategies to mitigate HFI.

ABSTRACT The Banglatown area of Hamtramck, Michigan is home to Bangladeshi Americans (26% of the population) and has a 49.1% poverty rate. There are no supermarkets in Hamtramck; however, there are many small food stores. The NEMS-CS tool was used to assess 21 food stores. Of the stores surveyed, 33% of offered 3 or more fruits and vegetables. Thirty-six percent offered brown rice and almost half offered dried legumes. Stores scored poorly on all three categories included in the NEMS-CS score: availability, quality, price. Results of the study contribute to the knowledge base about healthy food availability in urban Bangladeshi communities.

ABSTRACT This study is a secondary assessment of data from a multi-state project called Voices for Food. The purpose was to determine facilitators and barriers to community stakeholders’ (n = 171) and food pantry clients’ (n = 612) engagement with food policy councils (FPCs) among rural Midwestern communities. Quantitative and qualitative data from surveys were examined across three data collection time points (baseline = 0, midpoint = 24, and post = 36 months). In addition to determining the sectors represented in council membership, barriers to and facilitators of participation in the council were identified. This information can be used to engage all types of community members in FPC work.
