Engaging Social Entrepreneurs in Community-Based Participatory Solutions to F...Carolyn Zezima
2012 ASFS/AFHVS/SAFN Conference Global Gateways and Local Connections: Cities, Agriculture, and the Future of Food Systems
Carolyn Zezima, Director of Food and Nutrition Initiatives, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Despite increasing recognition that fresh, healthy, local foods are scarce in low-income communities, and the creation of a number of healthy food initiatives targeting these communities, historically underserved communities still lack novel, profitable, and sustainable businesses that supply healthy, affordable and taste-satisfying foods. Bringing together the business and public health sectors, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine invited business students to submit concepts and plans for viable, market and community-driven business solutions to one of our most pressing public health needs: healthy, affordable food in underserved communities. The proposed enterprises must have served communities with limited availability to healthy foods, be tailored to the particular assets and challenges in the communities, and must be developed in consultation with target communities. Proposals were judged by a panel of experts in business, food and local government. Teams competed for $25,000 in start-up funds and other business support services.
Accessibiliy: Scalling Up for Global Access to Quality ProductsFrancine Schoenwetter
Broadly defined as the ease of access to something at the time it is needed, the concept of Accessibility—especially as it relates to healthy foods—is one that’s become increasingly important.
The movement to improve access to healthy foods dovetails with the rising demand for better-for-you products, creating a heightened consumer demand for
quality ingredients and sustainable sourcing.
Here we view the data on the food insecurity and an overview of the supply chain perspective on generating greater access to healthier products - how to bridge the gap between high demand and access.
9th International Public Markets Conference - Gus SchumacherPPSPublicMarkets
Session - Get Healthy: Innovative Public Market Strategies and Programs to Increase Access to Fresh, Healthy Food
Gus Schumacher is Vice President of Wholesome Wave in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Low income populations (i.e., those living on $2-13 USD/day) in developing countries are disproportionately vulnerable to what is affordable, accessible and aspirational, and are increasingly incorporating available “unhealthy foods” (high in fat,sugar, salt, and calories with little nutritional value) into their diets. While changing food markets may bring potential benefits including improved food safety, security, and product diversity, overconsumption of these unhealthy foods leads to a burden of health and financial impacts, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, loss of productivity and absenteeism for these low income individuals, their families and the broader societies in which they live.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

2. Poverty A recent authoritative definition of poverty is to be found in the OECD Development Action Committee’s (DAC) Guidelines on Poverty Reduction (OECD (2001)), which state that: “Poverty encompasses different dimensions of deprivation that relate to human capabilities including consumption and food security, health, education, rights, voice, security, dignity and decent work.” (OECD (2001), p. 8)
3. Definitions Food security “Access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life. Food security includes at a minimum: (1) the ready availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods, and (2) an assured ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways.” Food insecurity “Limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways.”
10. Food Security Options Create incentives for local farmers Increase the use of community gardens Provide access to EBT machines at Farmer’s Markets and CSA programs so that SNAP and WIC participants can purchase healthy food. Attract new grocery stores to low income neighborhoods. Support existing stores to offer healthy food options
11. Attracting Grocery Stores Improved access to healthy foods can improve the local residents’ health, reduce health inequities, create & retain jobs, improve local economic development & generate increased tax revenue. These efforts can help transform underserved communities into communities of choice and opportunity.
19. Increase and capitalize on customer spending power Promote resident participation in nutrition assistance programs to bolster the purchasing power of local residents, Ensure that retailers accept WIC and SNAP benefit cards. Community organizations can promote stores that offer healthier food.
20. Connect stores with government resources Financial and technical assistance for small businesses can be targeted to small-scale retailers in low-income communities who are willing to improve their selection of healthy foods. Local economic development and health departments may also be able to support these efforts.

Editor's Notes
Studies have shown that better access to healthy food corresponds to healthier eating and lowerrates of obesity and diabetes.16 For example, one study examining several U.S. states found thatAfrican Americans living in a census tract with a supermarket are more likely to meet federalguidelines for fruits and vegetable consumption, and for each additional supermarket, produceconsumption increased by 32 percent.17Researchers in Indianapolis found that adding a new grocery store to a neighborhood translated into an average weight loss of three pounds for adults in that community.20 Improving access to healthy food also brings economic benefits. A large full-service supermarket creates between 100 and 200 ful land part-time jobs, and there is some emerging evidence that a grocery store can increase local tax revenues and stabilize or even increase local home values.21
Promising programs and policies across the country demonstrate that the challenges to increasing access to healthy foods in underserved communities—from grocery store developers’ concerns about higher start-up costs for new stores in urban areas, to corner store owners’ unfamiliarity with how to profitably buy and sell produce,
Improving corner and convenience stores is less complex and costly than constructing a new store, and builds on existing community resources. Small merchants, however, do not have the advantages of scale that can translate into lower prices for consumers. Many of these retailers are unfamiliar with how to handle, display, and stock produce, and may lack needed refrigeration or adequate shelf space to experiment with new products. And selling produce has risks— because produce spoils quickly, it must be sold quickly. To address these challenges
Re-outfitting a corner store to sell fresh produce can cost less than $100,000 in technical assistance,equipment, and initial inventory.Requires no new land since the stores already exist.To reduce costs, store owners can collaborate with other stores to jointly buy foods from local farmers.
Efforts focused on corner stores near schools can help ensure healthier food and beverage choices for children during their school day.
Good NeighborsThe program developed criteria that defined “good” store neighbors, including: devoting at least 10 percent of inventory to fresh produce and an additional 10 to 20 percent of inventory to other healthy foods; accepting food stamps; limiting tobacco and alcohol promotion; and adhering to environmental and health standards. Stores that agreed to comply with these criteria received technical assistance and training, energy efficiency upgrades, and marketing assistance. They also received grants to make initial purchases of healthy foods and test how the items sell. An evaluation of one store showed that average sales of produce had increased by 12 percent, alcohol and cigarettes sales were down 10 percent, and overall profits were up 12 percent.32 The San Francisco Redevelopment Department and the Southeast Food Access Coalition will continue providing assistance to the store to ensure ongoing success.33 Similar projects are cropping up across the country. The Healthy Corner Stores NetworkState and city governments, private funders, and community developers can provide financial support for a wide range of healthy food access projects in underserved communities through loans, grants, and tax incentives. State officials in Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New York State, and municipal authorities in Chicago, New York, and New Orleans have adopted such policies. The Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative was the first such effort, creating 75 new healthy food retail outlets in its first five years.
