This document summarizes research aimed at identifying systemic barriers preventing children in New Zealand from meeting fruit and vegetable intake guidelines. The researchers conducted cognitive mapping interviews with national food system actors and community workshops to understand barriers and propose solutions. Key barriers identified included negative perceptions of high produce prices, low family incomes, lack of time to purchase and prepare fruits and vegetables, and more marketing of junk food compared to produce. Proposed equitable solutions focused on expanding free fruit and vegetable school programs, subsidizing produce to lower prices, and restricting fast food marketing and availability near low-income neighborhoods.
