Contribution of indigenous fruits and vegetables to dietary diversity and qua...Bioversity International
Presentation given by Dr. Bruce Cogill at the International Horticultural Congress 2014.
The world has a historically unprecedented abundance of food, though contemporary food systems face numerous new challenges from population growth, natural resource
depletion, and rapid dietary transitions away from diverse, locally-sourced and sustainable mix of foods towards diets dominated by homogenous, highly-processed, energy-dense, and animal-source foods The alarming increase in diet and lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) alongside persistent poverty and undernutrition demands a reassessment of dietary choices, guidelines, policies and programmes.
This presentation presents 5 case studies on the contribution of diverse foods, particularly indigenous fruits and vegetables, to culturally-acceptable, cost-effective, sustainable, and nutritious diets.

Bryony Sinclair discussed a systems approach to policymaking for obesity prevention at American Public Health Association's Annual Meeting, 31 Oct - 4 Nov 2015, Chicago, USA.
In this brief, we provide a guide to available policies that can assist countries in reducing the amount of sugar consumed at a population level to meet the World Health Organization’s sugar guideline.
We illustrate the available policies, provide examples that have worked and include input from those involved in the development and implementation of these policies.

Monitoring Health for the SDGs - Global Health Statistics 2024 - WHOChristina Parmionova
The 2024 World Health Statistics edition reviews more than 50 health-related indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work. It also highlights the findings from the Global health estimates 2021, notably the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life expectancy and healthy life expectancy.
This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

Policy coherence to promote fruit and vegetable intake
1. Policy coherence to promote
fruit and vegetable intake
EGEA – 3 June 2015
World Cancer Research Fund International
Policy & Public Affairs Manager
Bryony Sinclair
2. Overview
1. What is policy coherence and why is it
important?
2. A coherent approach: effective policy
actions for fruits and vegetables
throughout the NOURISHING
Framework
3. What is “policy coherence”?
OECD definition: “…the systematic promotion of
mutually reinforcing policy actions across
government departments and agencies creating
synergies towards achieving the agreed
objectives.”
Put simply, policies that do not undermine
each other to achieve objectives already
agreed by government.
4. Why do we need policy coherence?
Multiple, mutually-reinforcing, coherent
actions needed across govt depts to
support individuals to adopt healthy
behaviours:
• Direct behaviour change
interventions (eg from doctors)
• The food environments which
influence these behaviours
• The food systems which underpin
these environments
1. For people
5. Many sectors & govt depts need to take
action to achieve policy coherence
Policies that meet objectives for other sectors
will engage those sectors in our efforts to
improve fruit and vegetable consumption
e.g. economic objective for agriculture sector
Greater sales/consumption of fruit &
vegetables provides livelihood for fruit &
vegetable growers
2. Policy coherence to leverage support from
other sectors
7. A coherent approach:
examples of effective policy actions
for fruits and vegetables throughout
the NOURISHING framework

2006;165(9):630–5.
• Board game designed to
transfer knowledge about a
healthy diet (randomised
controlled trial)
• Students playing game weekly
for 24 weeks showed:
– significant increase in nutrition
knowledge
– significant increase in weekly
intake of vegetables (0.7 servings
more per week)
Kalèdo educational board game
9. • Aim: increase fruit & vegetable
consumption through individual nutrition
counselling sessions with tailored nutrition
education package
• After 6 weeks, patients with dentures who
received two 121 nutrition counselling,
sessions showed:
– a significant increase in fruit consumed
– a significant increase in readiness to change their
diet ( fruits and vegetables)

intake in the edentulous. Journal of Dental Research 2006;85(5):463-8.

10. Knowledge
• Significant increase of
recommended servings of
fruit and vegetables (77.7%-
89.2% for fruit; 20.4%-43.9%
for vegetables)
Source: Pollard CM et al. 2007
Consumption
• Significant in vegetable intake during
campaign (esp for men)
• Self-reported fruit and vegetable
consumption by 0.8 servings/day after
campaign (0.2 servings of fruit; 0.6
servings of vegetables)
Fruit and vegetable public awareness
campaign in Western Australia
• Mass media (TV, radio, press)
• Publications (e.g. cookbooks)
• Public relations events
• Point-of-sale promotions
• School-based activities
• Community activities
• Website: www.gofor2and5.com
11. Green Carts in New York City
• NYC made 1,000 licenses available through
Local Law 9 to street vendors who sell fresh
fruit & vegetables in neighbourhoods with
limited access to healthy foods and where
consumption is low
• 92% of customers said location & prices are
2 main reasons for shopping at Green Carts
• 71% of customers reported increased
consumption of fresh fruit & vegetables
since shopping at the Green Cart

14. Australian example:
• Nutritional status improved among
aboriginal children whose families
received weekly boxes of subsidised
fruit and vegetables
• Significant increases in the levels of
biomarkers of fruit and vegetable
intake (e.g. vitamin C)

health and nutritional status of disadvantaged families in high income countries: a systematic review. BMC Public Health 2012;12:1099
Fruit and vegetable subsidy programmes for disadvantaged families
Subsidy schemes that work:
• 12.5% supermarket price
discount on healthier options
• Subsidised monthly food
vouchers
• Subsidised weekly family food
packages
• Free home-delivered fruit juice
weekly
• Fruit and vegetable vouchers
for local supermarket or
farmers market
15. • Eg offering fruit and vegetable
in schools
• In USA over 1 school year, low
income children
• Fresh fruit and vegetable
intakes were higher among
students at schools participating
in Fresh Fruit and Vegetable
Program (0.32 servings/day)
• 1st step to effect gradual change
16.
17. Action is needed across sectors to promote fruit and vegetable intake
Health
e.g.
Government/ministry,
health NGOs,
healthcare providers,
health insurance
companies
Agriculture
e.g. Government/ministry, fruit & vegetable producers,
traders/importers, wholesalers, retailers, processors, agriculture
NGOs
Education
e.g.
Government/ministry
schools, school
authorities, NGOs,
professional
associations, higher
education institutions
Food service
e.g. restaurants,
catering/cafeteria
/canteen services
…and communications, environment, commerce & trade,
consumer protection, etc
18. In summary
Policy coherence…
– Ensure coherence/consistency in environments
and systems that underpin choices people
make
– Leverage support from other sectors
Benefits of increased markets for fruit and
vegetables
– Health and economic eg increased market for
fruit and vegetables for producers, increased
health & reduced health care costs
