Agriculture and Nutrition Synergies in CGIAR Researchlunnevehr
Presentation at the annual Agricultural and Applied Economics Meetings, Washington DC, August 6, 2013 in a symposium on Agricultural Development, Nutrition and Health: Synergies or Tradeoffs?
Presentation by Laurian Unnevehr at the event, “2013 AAEA & CAES Joint Annual Meeting” which took place on August 4-6, 2013 in Washington, DC. It offers AAEA members, CAES members, and other applied economists a chance to interact and learn over the course of the three day meeting.
SNAP aims to provide nutritional benefits to participants, but currently allows some processed foods with limited benefits like candy, cookies, and soda. The document proposes mitigating these options, simplifying applications, and incorporating local farmers by offering tax breaks for donations to community food shelves, giving SNAP recipients access to fresh, basic ingredients while supporting agriculture. Requiring nutrition education like cooking classes could also help prevent health issues down the line from poor diets. Overall, the USDA should revise eligible foods and incentivize farm donations to improve SNAP's effectiveness and sustainability.
In Spring 2013, we are on the precipice of dramatic, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health.
We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes, equity, and cost. We must also:
- implement sustainable, fundamental "upstream" changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and
- transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all.

Training the Next Generation of Maine Farmers - GSMSummit 2014, Abby SadauckasGrowSmart Maine
Why plan for growth and change, when it seems so much easier to simply react?
When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure.
This is the dollars and sense of smart growth.
Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change.
After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood
And in the end, this means that our children and their children will choose to make Maine home and our economy will provide the opportunities to do so.
The Summit offers you a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the transformative change in Maine that we’ve seen these gatherings produce. We encourage you to consider the value of being actively involved in growing Maine’s economy and protecting the reasons we choose to live here.
In April 2016, Singapore hosted the first ever Food Vision Asia event. Food Vision Asia focused exclusively on this high growth market and the challenges it faces as increased consumer buying power drives its consumer’s appetite for a diet predicated on ‘world food’ choice and variety.
Healthy Places is a CDC-funded initiative to implement sustainable policy, systems and environmental changes that address obesity in Chicago by creating healthier environments where Chicagoans live, work, learn and play.

This document discusses the need for innovation in food systems to address current demands and crises. It argues that the real crisis is an innovation crisis, as food systems must change quickly to meet 21st century needs. Food systems innovation encompasses both technological changes and institutional/policy changes. Accelerating innovation requires constructive dialogue between public, private, and civil society stakeholders to set priorities, identify partnerships, and develop coherent policies and regulations. Australia's food system is connected globally, so domestic stakeholders must engage regionally for effective innovation.

Sodium Reduction in Vending Machines - Eskenazi HealthThomas Thaman
Eskenazi Health developed the Choose Health program to reduce sodium in vending machines on their campus and in community locations. They implemented a traffic light labeling system and analyzed snack items' nutrient contents to categorize them. They stocked more green items containing 230mg sodium or less, discontinued most red items containing over 400mg sodium, and simplified stocking. This led to a 31% average sodium reduction per item from 210mg to 145mg, with all items meeting the 230mg standard. The number of snack items was reduced from 92 to 47. The cost per item remained similar, showing sodium reduction can be achieved without price increases. Nutrition standards, manufacturer engagement, and stocking plans were keys to sustainability.
Accelerating uptake of research on sustainable livestock interventions—Insigh...ILRI
The document discusses the CGIAR Research Program on Livestock (Livestock CRP), which aims to increase the sustainable production of meat, milk, and eggs in developing countries through livestock research. The Livestock CRP brings together five research centers globally and focuses on areas like forages, small ruminants, value chains, and the environment. It works through five flagship projects in priority countries in Africa on genetics, health, feeds, value chains, and the environment. The program hypothesizes that impact requires integrated interventions demonstrated through research-development partnerships with national actors over 8-12 years to translate research into large-scale adoption. It focuses on socioeconomic and environmental sustainability as well as building national innovation capacity.
The document discusses the concept of the "sick economy" where unhealthy behaviors like poor diets, smoking, and lack of exercise are driving up healthcare costs. These behaviors also fuel a large part of the current economy through industries like fast food, tobacco, alcohol, etc. However, if behaviors were improved through healthier choices, healthcare costs could drop significantly. The document advocates for building a "new ecosystem" focused on health, wellness and sustainable consumption. It provides an example of how one company, Carewise Health, is transforming its environment and culture to promote employee health through various initiatives. The conclusion calls for collective action from consumers, businesses, regulators and educators to shift from the current sick economy to a new wellness-focused

The strategy targeted multiple audiences at national, community, and household levels using various communication channels and materials.
The document discusses global trends in healthy eating and the baby food and diaper markets. Some key points:
- Half of global respondents are trying to lose weight by eating smaller portions of fresh, natural foods and cutting down on fats and sugars. Younger consumers are most willing to pay more for healthy options.
- For baby food, growth is highest in Asia-Pacific where nearly half of sales occur. Pouches and organic baby foods are growing quickly. Brand, nutrition, and safety are most important purchase factors.
- In diapers, North America leads sales but growth is highest in Latin America. Open diapers have most sales but diaper pants are growing rapidly. Word-of-mouth and advertising
