Recently, food-related policy initiatives have proliferated, such as food strategies, food plans, food councils, food districts and food communities, just to name the more relevant ones. Far from being systematically defined and logically systematized, these concepts often overlap or are used as synonyms. The paper has systematically traced the current trends showing how these concepts are used in the current debate, the theoretical background on which they are grounded and the public policies they call for, following a threefold approach: (1) a literature analysis to establish the state of academic research on food systems in its multidimensionality; (2) a review of the existing national legislation to detect the utilization of food policy-related lemmas in the normative; (3) a computational linguistic analysis applied on institutional documentation to explore how cities and territories are using concepts and definitions in the grey literature. The results show that the construction of narratives around the topic of food systems planning is experiencing a momentum, with particular emphasis on principles, background premises and governance aspects. In this context, the risk of marginality for the agricultural sector in such discourses and narratives is highlighted.

Food policy councils (FPCs) are one form of community coalition that aims to address challenges to local food systems and enhance availability, accessibility, and affordability of healthy foods for local residents. We used data from the 2014 National Survey of Community-Based Policy and Environmental Supports for Healthy Eating and Active Living, a nationally representative survey of US municipalities (n = 2029), to examine the prevalence of FPCs and cross-sectional associations between FPCs and four types of supports for healthy food access (approaches to help food stores, practices to support farmers markets, transportation-related supports, and community planning documents). Overall, 7.7% of municipalities reported having a local or regional FPC. FPCs were more commonly reported among larger municipalities with ≥50,000 people (29.2%, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 21.6, 36.8) and western region municipalities (13.2%, 95% CI: 9.6, 16.8). After multivariable adjustment, municipalities with FPCs had significantly higher odds of having all four types of supports, compared to those without FPCs (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) range: 2.4–3.4). Among municipalities with FPCs (n = 156), 41% reported having a local government employee or elected official as a member, and 46% had a designated health or public health representative. Although FPCs were uncommon, municipalities that reported having a local or regional FPC were more likely to report having supports for healthy food access for their residents.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Abstract Climate change and the growth of the world’s population, including Indonesia, have resulted in the intensive exploitation of mass food supplies. This has resulted in a shift in the consumption pattern of people who used to consume local food such as sago, tubers and bananas to switch to rice. Furthermore, dependence on rice also results in a change in land use or a shift in community forests that are intended for local plants to be reduced. Another impact of the shift in people’s consumption patterns is damage to the environment, both land and water itself. This also happened in Papua province, especially Merauke district. The purpose of this study is to analyze the government’s alignment to local food sustainability as an alternative solution to the problem of food security. The research uses a qualitative approach. The results of the study indicate that the government has taken sides in making local food more powerful but still needs support from various parties.

This article aims to explain the history of food policy in Indonesia related to the diversity of staple foods in 1945-2021. This research used historical methods and literature studies on food policy studies. The results indicate that no continuity of staple food diversity which is the historical reality of contemporary Indonesian food policy. In the beginning, the diversity of staple food, the local wisdom of the archipelagic community, had received a considerable attention in the idealism of President Sukarno. However, it still was not fulfilled in the next period, such as in the rice politics of President Soeharto, the food security movement of President Megawati Soekarnoputri, the food import policy of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, to the food barn policy of President Joko Widodo. The diversity of staple foods in contemporary government policies is accommodated in short-term, local, or partial scale programs, and not adaptive to changing times. Thus, the fulfillment of community’s staple food is still dominated by non-inclusive food policies.

Abstract Objectives Community efforts to improve access to nutritious foods are one strategy to reduce food insecurity, promote healthy eating, and prevent diet-related chronic diseases. Food policy councils (FPCs) can facilitate relationships between food systems players and implementation of local policy efforts to increase access to healthier foods. This study examined associations between FPCs with local policy supports for healthy food access. Methods We used data from CDC's 2014 National Survey of Community-Based Policy and Environmental Supports for Healthy Eating and Active Living, a nationally representative survey of U.S. municipalities with population ≥1000 (n = 2029). We calculated the prevalence of FPCs, overall and by municipal characteristics including population size, census region, rural/urban status, poverty prevalence, median education level, and racial/ethnic composition. We used multivariable logistic regression to examine cross-sectional associations between FPCs and four types of supports for healthy food access (approaches to help open or improve food stores; practices to support farmers markets; transportation-related supports; and community planning documents). Results Overall, 7.6% of municipalities reported having a local or regional FPC. FPCs were reported more frequently among larger municipalities with ≥50,000 people (29.2%, 95% confidence interval (CI): 21.6–36.8) compared to smaller municipalities (4.3% for <2500 people; 7.0% for 2500–49,999 people) and among western municipalities (13.2%, CI: 9.6–16.8) compared to other Census regions (5.9% for south; 6.5% for northeast; 7.6% for midwest). After multivariable adjustment, municipalities with FPCs had significantly higher odds of having all four types of policy supports for healthy food access, compared to those without FPCs (aOR range: 2.4–3.4). Among municipalities with a FPC (n = 156), 41% reported a local government employee or elected official as a member and 46% had a designated health or public health representative. Conclusions Although FPCs are uncommon, municipalities that reported having a local or regional FPC were more likely to report having policy supports for healthy food access for their residents.

Food diversification is food diversification with balanced nutrition.<br />Barriers to the development of local food are undeveloped products and people's thinking that rice is a staple food. The development of local food products is the provision of income for the food industry.</p>

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In recent years, the scientific community has focused more on urban food policies adopted by big cities and less on the local food policies adopted by small municipalities. Furthermore, the empirical evidence on school food policy initiatives is quite fragmented, and the management of the canteen service is not directly addressed by the studies carried out. In this work, the school food policy implemented in a small municipality (Corciano in the province of Perugia, Centre Italy) of about 22,000 inhabitants, through the application of project financing with the participation of local social cooperatives is presented and discussed. This paper aims to reflect on the capability of the alternative food networks developed through the project financing mechanism to identify and implement the uses of the resources concerning the local food policy objectives and the project capacity of the network. The analysis is conducted using a methodological approach based on agricultural economics and anthropology. Results from economic data analysis, collective interviews, and participant observation show that: the financial balance of the project financing is positive but quite precarious and very sensitive to market variations, both regarding the overall demand for canteen meals, and the procurement of raw materials and workforce; the project’s organizational model through a local network not only can combine the environmental, social, and health dimensions of food, but it can also reshape the local concept of community, as well as new opportunities for the circulation of food products.

Objective: The purpose of this research is to understand the change in food consumption patterns of consumers of organic food especially after the pandemic. Theoretical framework: This study draws suggestions from attitude-behaviour relationship model. The internal factors are - attitudes towards local food, and attitudes towards supporting the local economy, while the external factors are - high price and trust issues related to organic food. Method: Data from organic food consumers was quantitatively analysed using multiple regression in SPSS. A seven point Likert scale was considered to measure the responses and a Cronbach alpha score of 0.8 indicated that the constructs were reliable. Results and conclusion: The findings suggest organic food consumers who have an attitude towards local food consumption and an attitude to support local economy have positive intention towards local food purchase. Also the high price and trust issues related to organic food positively influence the intention to purchase local food. Implications of the research: This study uncovers the changes in food consumption pattern during and after the pandemic. COVID-19 has affected people financially too and affordability has become a key. Marketers will have to come up with affordable solutions to market healthy food. Originality/value: The shift in consumers' preference from organic to local has implications for the environment and the society. Local food is found to be sustainable, healthy and less expensive. Local food systems cater to food traceability and high food safety.

The purpose of the study is to analyze individual characteristics of the entrepreneurs from household industries of local foods, the government policy support, entrepreneurial competence level as well as the determinant factors of the entrepreneurial competence of household industries of local foods in Bogor district’s, West Java . The study uses survey methods using descriptive statistical analysis and inference statistics to 231 home-based local food manufacturing industries in 14 sub-districts and 20 villages in Bogor. The results of this study indicate that the entrepreneurial competencies of household industries of local foods in Bogor district’s is low. The determinant factors of the entrepreneurial competence consist of formal education, motivation, and cosmopolitan mindset of the household industry entrepreneurs of local foods as well as the government policy support for the development of household industries of local foods. To increase the entrepreneurial competence of the entrepreneurs from household industries of local food, the entrepreneurs need to increase their non-formal education, motivation, and cosmopolitan mindset as well as the goverment policy support

AbstractThis study investigates consumer preferences for a marketing system that improves integration of farmers into a local food system. Attribute-based methods are used to estimate consumer willingness to pay for a locally grown product that is bundled with a local food bank (LFB) donation. Estimates reveal that, on average, households are willing to pay 11% more for locally grown relative to nonlocal agricultural products. When the locally grown product attribute is combined with a donation to support a LFB, the premium nearly doubles. Results suggest that the proposed system could provide resources to strengthen local food distribution networks.

AbstractObjectiveThis study assessed the impact of changes in school food policy on student lunch consumption in middle schoolsMethodsTwo years of lunch food records were collected from students at three middle schools in the Houston, Texas area. During the first year, no changes occurred in the school food environment. After that school year was completed, chips and dessert foods were removed from the snack bars of all schools by the Food Service Director. Students recorded the amount and source of food and beverage items consumed. Point-of-service purchase machines provided a day-by-day electronic data file with food and beverage purchases from the snack bars during the 2-year period. Independent t-tests and time series analyses were used to document the impact of the policy change on consumption and sales data between the two yearsResultsIn general, student consumption of sweetened beverages declined and milk, calcium, vitamin A, saturated fat and sodium increased after the policy change. Snack chips consumption from the snack bar declined in year 2; however, consumption of snack chips and candy from vending increased and the number of vending machines in study schools doubled during the study period. Ice cream sales increased significantly in year 2ConclusionsPolicy changes on foods sold in schools can result in changes in student consumption from the targeted environments. However, if all environments do not make similar changes, compensation may occur

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study examines food security in the Ogan Ilir Regency by assessing the affordability and accessibility of staple foods based on regional price levels. Using the Participation Rural Appraisal (PRA) method for qualitative data analysis, the study further employs the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine priority areas for policy intervention. AHP results underscore the significance of stabilizing food supply and leveraging local resources for food availability. In terms of affordability, the pivotal roles of enhancing purchasing power and stabilizing staple food prices are highlighted. As for staple food pricing, aligning production with market demands and optimizing the food trade system chain emerge as key considerations. The study culminates in policy recommendations, suggesting strategies like boosting production capacity, increasing food reserves and imports, and ensuring a stable food supply. It also emphasizes the importance of tailoring interventions to address specific challenges faced by vulnerable rural households in Ogan Ilir. This research offers actionable insights for local government programs aimed at ameliorating food insecurity in the region.

This paper analyzes the relationship between the construction of international agendas and new sustainable local policies. Specifically, it analyzes the framework of sustainable food policy building at global and local scales. In this sense, we explore the international agreement called the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact, and its influence on the development of local and global sustainable food-related policies through different innovative methods. To this end, the process of building the international alliance of local governments for the development of sustainable food systems is analyzed first, and secondly, its locations are investigated through the public actions and programs in three cities of the Euro-Latin American region: Madrid, Quito, and Valencia. Two conclusions are clear after our qualitative study: on one hand, local policies are designed and implemented through a double strategy: the substantive construction of the policy and its inclusion in the global agenda. On the other hand, both dimensions are fundamental and reinforce each other, specifically in the case of urban sustainable food policy.

Childhood obesity is a relevant public health problem. The school food environment has been identified as an important factor for promoting healthy eating behaviors. This study assessed the availability of and proximity to unhealthy food stores around schools (n = 22) in the city of Barcelona and its association with neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES). We conducted this cross-sectional study between 2019 and 2020. First, we identified all food retailers (n = 153) within a 400-m buffer around each school and identified those selling unhealthy food products. Then, we used Poison regression models to measure the association between NSES and the healthy food availability index (HFAI), adjusting for population density and distance. A total of 95% of the food establishments studied were classified as unhealthy (n = 146). In all, 90% of schools that had, at least, two unhealthy retailers in their proximity. There were significant differences in the mean distance to unhealthy establishments according to neighborhood SES and population density (p < 0.05). We found a positive association between schools located in higher SES neighborhoods and a higher availability and affordability of healthy food products (IIR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.45–1.91 p = 0.000). We found strong social inequalities in the supply of healthy foods in Barcelona. Local food policy interventions addressing retail food environment around schools should consider socioeconomic inequalities.

AbstractObjectiveTo explore how an Australian rural food policy coalition acts to influence a local food environment, focusing specifically on its composition, functions and processes as well as its food-related strategies and policy outputs.DesignA qualitative case study approach was undertaken. Three sources were used to triangulate data: eleven semi-structured in-depth interviews with coalition members, analysis of thirty-seven documents relating to the coalition and observation at one coalition meeting. Data were analysed using a thematic and constant comparison approach. Community Coalition Action Theory provided a theoretical framework from which to interpret findings.SettingTwo rural local government areas on the south-eastern coast of Victoria, Australia.SubjectsEleven members of the food policy coalition.ResultsFive themes emerged from the data analysis. The themes described the coalition’s leadership processes, membership structure, function to pool resources for food system advocacy, focus on collaborative cross-jurisdictional strategies and ability to influence policy change.ConclusionsThis Australian case study demonstrates that with strong leadership, a small-sized core membership and focus on collaborative strategies, food policy coalitions may be a mechanism to positively influence local food environments.

Purpose: Local governments can implement food service guideline (FSG) policies, which, in large cities, may reach millions of people. This study identified FSG policies among the 20 largest US cities and analyzed them for key FSG policy attributes. Design: Quantitative research. Setting: Local government facilities. Participants: Twenty largest US cities. Measures: Frequency of FSG policies and percent alignment to tool. Analysis: Using municipal legal code libraries and other data sources, FSG policies enacted as of December 31, 2016, were identified. Full-text reviews were conducted of identified policies to determine whether they met inclusion criteria. Included policies were analyzed for key policy attributes specific to nutrition, behavioral design, implementation, and facility efficiency. Results: Searches identified 469 potential FSG policies, of which 6 policies across 5 cities met inclusion criteria. Five policies met a majority of criteria assessed by the classification tool. Overall alignment to the tool ranged from 17% to 88%. Of the 6 policies, 5 met a majority of the nutrition attributes and 5 met at least 50% of attributes associated with implementation. No policies met the attributes associated with facility efficiency. Conclusion: The FSG policies were identified in 5 of the 20 US cities. Policy alignment was high for nutrition and implementation attributes. This analysis suggests that when cities adopt FSG policies, many develop policies that align with key policy attributes. These policies can serve as models for other jurisdictions to create healthier food access through FSGs.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The price of food has been affected in recent months in response to events such as the war in Ukraine, energy costs, inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and climate change. Indeed, supply problems, as well as the repercussions of global issues, have had an impact on grocery bills. Just between September and October 2022, the price of food increased by 11.4% and 11% year-to-year. In addition, with the pandemic, buying locally has become a key factor for some in choosing which products to consume. This second edition of the report aims to answer the question Does eating local in Quebec cost more? More precisely, our objective was to identify if local products in the food sector, especially in Quebec, were competitive in their price points compared to foods coming from other regions of the world. To answer this, we used AI and machine learning to harvest data from 99 local products and 335 comparable nonlocal products, totaling 198,990 data points and 3745 prices across six data collection dates. The results showed that a total of 25 categories displayed an advantage for the local product or a neutrality, out of a total of 45 categories identified. Our results demonstrated that 55.6% of the categories that contained the local foods analyzed were price competitive with comparable products or less expensive than them.

This study aims to determine the regulation of converting agricultural land into housing and the suitability of its implementations. This study employed a juridical empirical approach which is a research done by looking at and paying attention to applicable legal norms associated with existing facts from the problems encountered. In this case, the local government policies on converting agricultural land into housing. The findings revealed the perpetrators of the land conversion process that occur in Kuningan Regency are the landowners. Some of the causes are: social, economic, population density, and the lack of socialization of Law Number 41 of 2009. Efforts made by local government officials and related agency officials to realize sustainable food land protection are still limited to carrying out their main duties and functions. The guideline in controlling the use of space, licensing and controlling mechanisms for the implementation of development, stated in the Regional Regulation of Kuningan Regency Number 26 of 2011 on regional Spatial Planning and Regulation of the Head of the National Land Agency Number 2 of 2011 concerning guidelines for technical land considerations in controlling location permits and determining locations and permits for changes in land use. The study concluded that converting the function of agricultural land to non-agriculture in Kuningan Regency is carried out by the landowner. In addition, efforts made by local government officials and related agency officials to realize sustainable food land protection are still limited to carrying out their main duties and functions. Accordingly, it is necessary to socialize Law Number 41 of 2009 on Protection of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land and Regional Regulation of Kuningan Regency Number 26 of 2011 concerning Regional Spatial Planning continuously to the community level. Furthermore, local governments need to coordinate with the village officials to monitor the use of agricultural land and the development of housing areas.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Careful observation of where food is produced and distributed reveals a mismatch between what is given, what is demanded and what is received. All this becomes an argument for structuring a coherent concept for harmonising food policy, as well as an issue calling for the integration of food policies. The objective of the study is to raise awareness recently and to propose technical and public policy solutions primarily at local community level, within citizens' groups. The solutions that emerged from the study are those relating to highlighting the elements of principle that provide the framework for the realisation of a Territorial Action Programme in food policy, particularly in densely populated areas. This guide is useful for achieving the necessary synergy between agricultural, environmental and social issues that intersect with the provision of quality food and food aid in a unified concept of Romanian integrated food policy.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Global interest in food policy is emerging in parallel with mounting challenges to the food supply and the rising prevalence of diet-related chronic health conditions. Some of the foundational elements of food policies are agricultural practices, finite resources, as well as economic burdens associated with a growing and ageing population. At the intersection of these interests is the need for policy synchronisation and a better understanding of the dynamics within local, regional and national government decision-making that ultimately affect the wellness of the populous and the safety, quality, affordability and quantity of the food supply. Policies, synchronised or not, need to be implemented and, for the food industry, this has seen a myriad of approaches with respect to condensing complex nutritional information and health claims. These include front and/or back of pack labelling, traffic light systems, etc. but in general there is little uniformity at the more regional and global scales. This translation of the nutritional and health-beneficial messages accompanying specific products to the consumer will undoubtedly be an area of intense activity, and hopefully interaction with policy makers, as the food industry continues to become a more global industry.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This paper examines the social implications of sustainable consumption through an empirical study of a local organic food initiative. It sets out an analytical framework based upon Douglas's Cultural Theory to categorise the range of competing value perspectives on sustainable consumption into ‘hierarchical', ‘individualistic’ and ‘egalitarian’ worldviews, and considers how these various worldviews might each adopt locally-grown organic food as a sustainable consumption initiative. Tensions between the paradigms are evident when attention is turned to a case study of a local organic food producers’ cooperative. Research with both producers and consumers reveals that the values embedded in its practice are both partisan and pluralistic, but are principally ‘Egalitarian'. Its interactions with policy regimes and social and economic institutions are examined, to illustrate the value conflicts inherent, and understand the barriers it faces in operation and the institutional factors inhibiting the growth of grassroots ‘bottom-up’ sustainable food initiatives of this kind. In addition to addressing these barriers, the policy implications of these findings for sustainable consumption policy and practice are discussed.

This study aims to explain the dynamics of local food safety policy strategies in Agam District in preventing stunting in Nagari Kamang Hilia. Nagari Kamang Hilia has extensive land for agricultural and plantation growth and has the potential to become alternative land for the development of local crops to support local food security policies, especially in preventing stunting. This study uses a qualitative method. Data was collected through interviews and documentation. The research informants were determined by purposive sampling. The research results prove that the implementation of the local security policy strategy is not implemented in accordance with the policy objectives. This is caused by factors namely the food crops that are conserved are not in accordance with local commodities in Nagari, studies on local food are not carried out in depth; budget constraints; lack of program oversight from the Regency Government or Nagari Government for areas experiencing land problems, lack of professional experts in the field of local food safety and lack of transparency on stunting data from the cadre posyandu to Nagari Kamang Hilia.

Abstract Jember Regency has the potential of local food diversity that has not been optimally utilized in stunting recovery. Local institutions have also not fully contributed optimal roles in rural mothers with stunting children. The research aims to determine key policy factors for local food development, farming, and coping mechanisms in mothers with stunting children. Adequate policies, especially in utilizing cheap and easily obtain nutritious local food sources, are expected to facilitate effective stunting recovery efforts. This research method uses quantitative and qualitative approaches. Description of local food sources and their processing, demographics, and maternal behavior, is carried out through focus group discussion activities involving key stakeholders. Furthermore, modeling is carried out based on key factors or elements with interpretative structural modeling methods. The study’s findings suggest that increasing maternal knowledge of local food and nutritional content and health aspects is a crucial policy factor. Systematically these key factors need to be supported by strengthening maternal health in decision-making in the household, handling maternal health detection, maternal skills to process food, and maternal skills to choose food according to family needs. Policy implementation requires formal and informal institutional support that exists in the countryside.

Abstract Food instability can occur a food crisis, and because of that, food security is an important factor in creating food system availability. Local food security is the most important in supporting national food security, while the national food demand has not been fulfilled. The research purpose is to analyze the government policy and politics of the economy in relation to food security by using a descriptive approach. The data interpretation technique is in the form of observation concerning the empirical condition that has happened in reality and is close to literature research. The data analysis uses data reduction, data presentation, verification, and data conclusion. The result shows that the local government policy of Merauke Regency in supporting food security through local food has not been optimum yet. For the production aspect in the early planting to the post-harvesting, the society executes it based on their experiences and tradition. Definitely, the result doesn’t mean maximum, although there is training that has been offered to them, but it doesn’t have continuity and the lack of assist system. For the trade aspect, the government has not set a market that is available to market the society’s products whereas as far as long the society only marketing their products locally. For the cultivation, aspect is not maximum yet with the exploiting of the slumber land to cultivate of local plants for production process continually. Because of that, it is necessary to have a supporting policy, which is integrated and supported by the political economy as a national area or regional area to support food security.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Food policy action on the state and local levels is necessary and important for at least two reasons. First, the complexity and breadth of our nation's food system requires layered policy and regulation: the system's functioning needs both national uniformity and local distinctions. Second, there are crucial gaps in national regulation that provide rich opportunities for state and local action. These gaps, in areas such as the regulation of antibiotics in animal feed and the oversight of food additives, are not priorities of the federal agencies that oversee food. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has made nutrition policy a priority for 2018, the current administration's explicitly anti-regulatory agenda makes it unlikely that it will address these previously under prioritized areas.

ABSTRACTEthiopia's Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) is an attempt to bring food security to 5 million people by providing them with social security to close the yearly hunger gap, coupled with development projects to lift them permanently out of poverty. The programme is an example of the new policy arrangements that aim to link relief to social security and development. This paper analyses the early implementation of the PSNP in two villages of the Amhara Region. The paper shows how the programme was in practice interpreted and used by local authorities to realise a related programme of voluntary resettlement, and how this locally changed the objective from helping the most vulnerable people, to reserving the benefits of the programme for the more affluent and economically potent households. It shows how local responses to food security policies were informed by institutional patterns, discourses about food insecurity and the articulation of policy with adjacent or past policy practices.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the location of fast-food outlets around secondary schools and the influence of fast-food availability on the food choices of school children in an inner-London borough. Design/methodology/approach – A number of methods including: mapping of outlets relative to schools; sampling food; gathering data on secondary school food policies; observing food behaviour in fast food outlets and focus groups with young people. Findings were fed back to a committee consisting of representatives from nutrition, public health, planning services and local community groups. Findings – There are concentrations of fast-food outlets near schools and students reported use of these, including “stories” of skipping lunch in order to save money and eat after school at these outlets. Food from fast-food outlets was high in fat, saturated fat and salt, but these are not the only source of high such foods, with many of the students reporting buying from shops near the school or on the way to or from school. At lunchtime food outlets were less likely to be used by school students in areas near schools that have a “closed gate” policy. Research limitations/implications – The “snapshot” nature of the research limited what can be said about the food behaviours of the children outside school hours. Practical implications – The local policy context requires action to improve both the food offered in schools and the immediate environment around the school in order to tackle fast-food and other competitive foods on offer outside the school. Originality/value – This is one of the first studies in the UK to systematically map fast food outlets around schools and explore what might be done. This research shows how it is possible to link the findings of local research and develop local responses from both public health and local authority planning perspectives. The research moves away from a mere documenting of problems to devising integrated public health solutions. The findings show how public health and planning services can work together to the mutual benefit of each other.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Since decentralization was reinforced in 1999, local politicians have exploited local policies to enhance their popularity and electability. In this study, I describe the implementation of a food security policy to demonstrate how the local arena had undergone massive political dynamics through unintegrated food governance demonstrated by local governments in Makassar City. This article aims to analyze the dynamic of urban food policy implemented by the municipality from 2013 to 2023. A qualitative approach had been employed through a case study of the implementation of food security policy. Data were collected by snowball method to eminent informants. Also, focus group discussions were employed in certain community groups. This study found that food policy in Makassar City during the study period had shown a political mobilization rather than a pure food security policy to help the community. In the policy planning, the failure was found in the limited technical analysis. The people who dwell in this city were not prepared for agricultural activities, including planting, maintaining the plants, and soil treatment. Also, the typical vegetables that were planted were not suitable for the climatic characteristics of this city. This study also found that media framing was massively exploited to escalate the positive framing of the ‘inclusivity’ of the leadership and attract the people to engage beyond food diversification. On the other side, as this policy was funded through a discretionary approach, massive negative sentiment had emerged, particularly from the legislative. They felt like an abandoned partner. Consequently, the government should create an alternative mechanism through shadow bureaucrats, designed by the mayor.

Purpose: This study aims to examine strategies for improving local food security in developing countries through a comprehensive literature review. Research Design and Methodology: The research design involves a systematic analysis of academic literature focusing on dimensions of food security, including availability, access, utilization, and stability of food resources. Methodologically, this review synthesizes findings. Findings and Discussion: The findings underscore the multifaceted nature of food security, emphasizing the importance of technological advancements, market-based interventions, social protection programs, community-based initiatives, and policy reforms. Technological advancements such as high-yield crop varieties and precision farming techniques have shown potential in enhancing agricultural productivity and resilience to climate change. Market-based interventions, including improved infrastructure and storage facilities, can reduce transaction costs and stabilize food prices. Social protection programs, such as cash transfers and food assistance, provide immediate relief to vulnerable populations. Community-based initiatives empower local communities to address specific food security challenges. Policy reforms at both national and international levels are essential for creating an enabling environment that supports food security. Implications: The implications of this research highlight the need for coordinated efforts among governments, international organizations, and local communities to address food security challenges holistically. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of food security dynamics and offer evidence-based recommendations for policymakers and practitioners.

Organic food demand in Portugal swiftly increases due to local governments willingness to include organic and locally produced food in school meals. We argue that local production is limited because there are no multi-sector or multi-actors approaches regarding land access, a necessity to secure local organic food supply. Based on a stakeholder’s mapping approach and semi-structured interviews and taking Torres Vedras as a pilot study we conclude that local policies require a bundle of instruments which should be made suitable for local realities. Nevertheless, local authorities have a key-role to play as facilitators for accessing land for organic food production.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This research examines the association between food policy and the rice food balance sheet. Normative juridical analysis explains that the purpose of National Food Agency (BAPANAS) Regulation No. 7 of 2023 concerning the highest retail price of rice is to maintain the affordability of rice prices at the consumer level. In August 2023, the average retail price of rice in several provinces exceeded the highest retail price. The rice food balance sheet was estimated based on the production and consumption of rice in 34 provinces in Indonesia. Production and consumption of rice were calculated from BPS-Statistics Indonesia data on wet unhusked grain (GKP) and the population of Indonesia by province. In 2022, the rice food balance sheet estimation showed a rice surplus in 11 provinces and a rice deficit in 23 provinces. The provinces with the largest surplus of rice are South Sulawesi, Central Java, and East Java. The provinces with the largest rice deficits are Jakarta, Riau, and North Sumatra. Local governments experiencing rice deficits should coordinate with various stakeholders to ensure the availability and affordability of rice in their respective provinces. State-owned enterprises must help maintain the government’s rice reserves, especially in provinces with rice deficits.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
<p>During decades, rice production in Indonesia has continuously increased. However, the increase in food consumption is faster than the rate of production. The population growth in Indonesia is projected to grow by 24.5% over the next four decades, from 250 million in 2015 to 311 million in 2050. In addition, climate change impacts would also exacerbate food supply and endanger sustainable food production. If the food needs for the population cannot be met, Indonesia will become a food insecurity country. On the other hand, Indonesia has a great potential food supply from a local resource that can be developed as the basis for food security in the long-term period. However, those local food resources are not considered the main staple food although their production is not significantly influenced by climate. The advancing potency of local food adaptation can create climate-resilient agriculture to proceed national food security. In addition, effective governance is needed to implement policies which promote food availability, food accessibility and individual food utilization based on local resources.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Adaptation, food security, local food, policy </p>

Abstract The objective of this study was to develop a transparent system for defining ‘less healthy’ foods to underpin effective policy to reduce noncommunicable diseases in Samoa, replacing a fatty-meat ban lifted for accession to the WTO. In the absence of nutrition survey data, we calculated nutrient availability using food acquisition data from Samoa's Household Income and Expenditure Surveys. Together with published literature and local food composition data, we identified foods and nutrients (i) consumed in amounts greater than those recommended for good health and (ii) with a demonstrated causal link to health conditions of concern. Nutrient thresholds were developed based on desired level of decrease per nutrient per person necessary to reduce population intake in line with specific targets. We found average energy and sodium consumption to be higher than recommended, and foods high in sugar and saturated fat being consumed in large amounts. We selected a threshold-based, category-specific model to provide straightforward policy administration and incentivise healthy production and import, and then applied and tested nutrient thresholds across 7 threshold groups. The validation process indicated that the development of a nutrient profiling system to identify less healthy food items in Samoa provided a stronger basis for local policymaking. This study contributes to global understanding of approaches to developing a robust and transparent basis for policies to improve diets in lower income countries, and is relevant to other settings with high rates of noncommunicable diseases and similar resource and data constraints.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Since Agenda 21, the local level has become important in terms of facing global challenges through local action. One of these is ensuring the sustainability of the food system. In German politics, this is a relatively new issue even at the local level. Nevertheless, two smaller cities in southern Germany have decided to change their local food systems towards sustainability. Hence, this paper deals with questions of how local actors are framing the food system and what this means for increasing sustainability. The analysis of qualitative interviews and participant observations based on frame analysis provides deeper insights into understandings of local food systems by actors. This paper aims to explore how framings of problems, solutions and motivations provide or restrict opportunities to increase local food system sustainability. Terms like sustainability or awareness are framed differently. Using the same term to mean different things can have negative effects on the acceptance of policymaking referring to food system transformation. Besides, this paper shows that omissions within the framing counteract the development of sustainable local food policy. Hence, it is important to reflect the political implications of absent framings as well to facilitate mutual understanding and consequently, food system change.

Objective - This research aims to develop a policy framework to support household-based snack food industry in the East Sumba regency for poverty alleviation. Methodology/Technique - A qualitative method is applied to enable exploration. A benchmarking analysis with the snack food industry in Garut, West Java, also is conducted to gain insights of the success factors and challenges faced by the industry there. Findings - Most informants say that the East Sumba regency has a high production of food crops and fruit; thus, it has potential to develop a household-based food industry to improve the local economy, i.e., a food and snacks industry based on raw materials such as maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and bananas. The regency also has a long coastline; therefore, coconut, fish, and seaweed-based food industries also are a potential for development in the area. Novelty - This study findings propose a policy framework for poverty alleviation through the creation of new entrepreneurs producing local snack foods. The creation of new entrepreneurs will increase employment and it should be done by the local government must implement policies that develop the management skills in four functional management aspects, which must be supported by specific policies in community leadership, community culture and mindset, public–private partnerships, government support, and infrastructures.

The federal government has primary authority over the school meal programmes and has recently issued updated regulations governing the food and nutrient requirements for meals sold or served through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Competitive foods (i.e. foods and beverages sold/served outside the meal programmes) are governed primarily by state and district laws and policies, although new federal regulations are expected to set minimum standards in this area. The USA has a long history of data monitoring and evaluation funded by government and private foundations which has enabled decision makers to monitor progress and opportunities to improve the foods and beverages made available to students in school.ConclusionsSchool food-related monitoring and evaluation research has been highly influential in influencing legislation and policy, leading to improvements in the foods and beverages available to children at school as part of planned meals and individual items sold outside the meal programmes. The lessons learned from the US experience provide insights that may be valuable for implementation, monitoring and evaluation of school food programmes in other countries.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In recent years, advocates have expressed concern about the exponential growth of dollar stores in low-income communities, given their limited stock of healthy foods, and several municipalities in the U.S. have passed novel policies to curb the proliferation of these stores. The purpose of this scan is to create a legal database to inform future healthy retail policies and programs. Legal mapping methods were used to identify local policies aimed at moderating dollar store proliferation. A search yielded 25 policies that met the inclusion criteria, all enacted between 2018 and 2020. Recent policies aiming to slow local dollar store growth were mostly passed in low-income communities of color. All identified policies were passed in either the Midwest or South. The majority of municipalities that passed the policies had populations where more than half of residents identified as non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic and where the poverty rate was greater than the national average. Twelve (48%) municipalities imposed temporary moratoria halting new dollar stores from opening, and ten (40%) banned new construction within a specified distance of an existing dollar store. Key themes identified from analysis of policies’ purpose statements included increasing healthy food availability, diversifying local businesses, and improving community safety. These findings may be useful to leaders in other communities seeking to potentially moderate the impact of dollar stores on community health, as well as researchers and policy makers seeking to evaluate the efficacy of existing policies.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
AbstractSeen as a response to the incumbent crisis affecting the food system, alternative food networks are a promising link of a new food chain, founded on a sustainable paradigm. Their activities aim at realizing a process of ‘re-localization’ and ‘re-socialization’ of food production-distribution-consumption practices, holding a prospect for the construction of a more environmentally sound, socially just and economically sustainable local food system. In order to provide such benefits, though, a host of regulatory constraints and logistical and operational barriers have to be overcome. In this paper we argue that a potentially effective force supporting the development of alternative food networks is detectable in the rapidly diffusing trend constituted by the adoption, by local governments, of a set of urban food policies integrating food issues into the many spheres of urban regulation. Such policy effort may help to coordinate public intervention with the purpose of setting the ground for a healthy local/regional food system, and provide alternative food networks with stronger connections, political capital and legitimization.
