Book excerpt: Food insecurity brings negative health effects such as anemia, congenital disabilities in children, insufficient nutritional intake, anxiety, and mental exhaustion Food insecurity affects approximately 29% of all households in Los Angeles, and the COVID-19 pandemic likely exacerbated this problem. Indeed, higher demands for food arise when dealing with an emergency or economic catastrophe.This literature review will provide an overview of food insecurities, food deserts, and the role of poverty. The research discussed in the literature review will explore the effects of food insecurity on ethnic minorities, single mothers, children, and elderly individuals within the Los Angeles area. This project is intended to identify whether nutritional programs successfully improve people's health within the Los Angeles area while mitigating the risks of food insecurity during the pandemic.
Book Synopsis Food Insecurity and Partnerships Strategies in Los Angeles by : Jaclyn Rivera-Krouse
Download or read book Food Insecurity and Partnerships Strategies in Los Angeles written by Jaclyn Rivera-Krouse and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food insecurity occurring within low-economic populations in Greater Los Angeles has been shown to lead to detrimental health outcomes. Multiple approaches have been tried over the years, largely by community based organizations seeking to alleviate hunger. These approaches can include vouchers or incentives for healthy foods, nutrition education, diversion of food waste as distribution, and community gardening education. Community organizations are often driven by funding, which can be from private sources or wider general fundraising, but are often linked to grants through Federal, State and County entities. As these grants are often tied to popular policy, this proposed study seeks to comprehensively examine a variety of hunger interventions and survey participants for changed behaviors and signs of effective hunger and nutrition educational outcomes. Researcher will also interview providers for insight into how organizational capacity can efficiently address operation of existing hunger interventions. This study can provide baseline data than can inform policy decisions for Los Angeles County Public Health, California Department of Food and Agriculture, US Department of Food and Agriculture, as well as Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Healthcare, and other regional healthcare providers, all whom are key funders for projects related to SNAP-Education, food, obesity prevention and hunger relief.

Book Synopsis Emerging Topics in Food Insecurity: An Assessment of University Student Food Access and Urban Agriculture in Los Angeles by : Tyler Doyal Watson
Download or read book Emerging Topics in Food Insecurity: An Assessment of University Student Food Access and Urban Agriculture in Los Angeles written by Tyler Doyal Watson and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food insecurity, defined as an uncertain or limited ability to get adequate food due to lack of financial resources, is a persistent issue in the City of Los Angeles. Traditional food assistance programs are underutilized and inadequate, and some populations who experience food insecurity have been overlooked in survey efforts. The work presented here investigates two emerging topics in food insecurity: food insecurity among college students and the potential for urban agriculture to address food insecurity in Los Angeles. First, focus group interviews were conducted with a diverse sample of 82 college students at the University of California, Los Angeles to explore student experiences, perceptions, and concerns related to food insecurity. We found that food insecurity is an invisible issue on campus that carries stigma, and the cost of attendance is a challenge for many students. Students who experienced food insecurity reported negative academic impacts, mental and physical health consequences, and disaffection from the university. In general, students wanted a greater awareness around food insecurity and food resources, and opportunities to learn life skills including cooking and budgeting. Second, a geospatial analysis was conducted to assess the extent of urban agriculture (UA) in the City of Los Angeles and theoretical vegetable production was calculated for city vacant land. While UA could not meet the need for the entire population, it could theoretically meet the need of the food insecure population. UA is unevenly distributed across the city. High need areas of the city do appear to be alleviated by the presence of UA sites, but generally have less vacant land for future UA sites. A recent tax incentive program may help increase the number of UA sites in the city. Third, current UA policy and planning was reviewed in the City of Los Angeles including a document analysis of three recent city plans. In general, Los Angeles is behind other cities in its support of UA, but has made substantial progress in recent years. Key recommendations include updating zoning, implementing a public land leasing program, subsidizing water rates, creating a city-wide UA network, and collecting additional UA data.
Book Synopsis Providing Healthy Food for Los Angeles, California with Community Gardens Through Seeds of Hope by : Sophana Sak

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health issues are a growing concern for people throughout Los Angeles, California. An increasing trend in obesity has been observed between 1990 to 2017. This is an issue because obesity can lead to other health complications such as diabetes.This report focuses on the efforts of a non-profit organization called Seeds of Hope, to improve the well-being of residents in the Los Angeles communities. Their goal is to expand their community gardens to help those who do not have the means to access healthy foods. To progress towards their goal, maps were produced using Geospatial Information Systems to create maps that highlight obesity, poverty, crime rates, park space, and food accessibility. In addition, this report also emphasizes how the goal of Seeds of Hope can become beneficial for community involvement, conserving population of pollinators, and bringing environmental justice to Los Angeles communities.
Book Synopsis Food, Health, and Culture in Latino Los Angeles by : Sarah Portnoy Sarah Portnoy
Download or read book Food, Health, and Culture in Latino Los Angeles written by Sarah Portnoy Sarah Portnoy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Los Angeles can increasingly be considered a part of Latin America. Only 200 miles from the border with Mexico, it has the largest, most diverse population of Latinos in the United States—and reportedly the second largest population of Mexicans outside of Mexico City. It also has one of the most diverse representations of Latino gastronomy in the United States, featuring the cuisine of nearly every region of Mexico, countries such as Peru, Argentina, Guatemala and El Salvador, as well as an incredible variety of Asian-Latin fusion cuisine. Despite the expansion of Latino cuisine's popularity in Los Angeles and the celebrity of many Latino chefs, there is a stark divide between what is available at restaurants and food trucks and what is available to many low-income, urban Latinos who live in food deserts. In these areas, access to healthy, affordable, culturally appropriate foods is a daily challenge. Food-related diseases, particularly diabetes and obesity, plague these communities. In the face of this crisis, grassroots organizations, policy-makers and local residents are working to improve access and affordability through a growing embrace of traditional cuisine, an emergent interest in the farm-to-table movement, and the work of local organizations. Angelinos are creating alternatives to the industrial food system that offer hope for Latino food culture and health in Los Angeles and beyond. This book provides an overview of contemporary L.A.’s Latino food culture, introducing some of the most important chefs in the Latino food scene, and discussing the history and impact of Latino street food on culinary variety in Los Angeles. Along with food culture, the book also discusses alternative sources of healthy food for low-income communities: farmers markets, community and school gardens, urban farms, and new neighborhood markets that work to address the inequalities in access and affordability for Latino residents. By making the connection between Latino food culture and the Latino communities’ food related health issues, this study approaches the issue from a unique perspective.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food insecurity is a significant public health problem. There are gaps in how food insecurity is measured and mapped across Los Angeles County. Evidence suggests that experts may be undercounting individuals experiencing or at risk for food insecurity. RAND researchers used publicly available data to map the extent of social vulnerability in Los Angeles County and in the service area of West Side Food Bank to help better target food bank resources.

Download or read book The Public Health Effects of Food Deserts written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-02 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, people living in low-income neighborhoods frequently do not have access to affordable healthy food venues, such as supermarkets. Instead, those living in "food deserts" must rely on convenience stores and small neighborhood stores that offer few, if any, healthy food choices, such as fruits and vegetables. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) and National Research Council (NRC) convened a two-day workshop on January 26-27, 2009, to provide input into a Congressionally-mandated food deserts study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service. The workshop, summarized in this volume, provided a forum in which to discuss the public health effects of food deserts.
