Recurrent Flooding and Household Food Access in Central Java, Indonesia
It is unknown how recurring flooding impacts household diet in Central Java. We aimed to assess how recurrent flooding influenced household food access over 22 years in Central Java by linking the Global Surface Water dataset (GSW) to the Indonesian Family Life Survey. We examined linear and nonlinear relationships and joint effects with indicators of adaptive capacity. We measured recurrent flooding as the fraction of district raster cells with …
Household Flood Severity and Migration Extent in Central Java
Central Java, Indonesia, is prone to river and coastal flooding due to climate changes and geological factors. Migration is one possible adaptation to flooding, but research is limited due to lack of longitudinal spatially granular datasets on migration and metrics to identify flood-affected households. The available literature indicates social and economic barriers may limit mobility from flood prone areas. The Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFL…
Improving school lunch menus with multi-objective optimisation
Objective: To support school foods programmes by evaluating the relationship between nutritional quality, cost, student consumption and the environmental impacts of menus. Design: Using linear programming and data from previously served menu items, the relationships between the nutritional quality, cost, student consumption and the environmental impacts of lunch menus were investigated. Optimised lunch menus with the maximum potential student con…
The complexities of selling fruits and vegetables in remote Navajo Nation retail outlets
Objective: Navajo Nation residents experience extreme rates of poverty, food insecurity and diet-related diseases. While many residents travel far to shop at grocery stores, there are small stores closer to home that could provide more healthy options, like fruits and vegetables (F&V). Little is known from the perspective of store owners and managers regarding the barriers and facilitators to offering F&V; the present study contributes to filling…
Agricultural Capacity to Increase the Production of Select Fruits and Vegetables in the US
The capacity of US agriculture to increase the output of specific foods to accommodate increased demand is not well documented. This research uses geospatial modeling to examine the capacity of the US agricultural landbase to increase the per capita availability of an example set of nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables. These fruits and vegetables were selected based on nutrient content and an increasing trend of domestic production and consumpti…
Characterizing trends in fruit and vegetable intake in the USA by self-report and by supply-and-disappearance data
Objective To examine the comparability of fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake data in the USA from 2001 to 2014 between data acquired from two national data collection programmes. Design Cross-sectional analysis. Linear regression models estimated trends in daily per capita intake of total F&V. Pooled differences in intake of individual F&V ( n 109) were examined by processing form (fresh, frozen, canned, dried and juice). Setting What We Eat in Ame…
Transitions in water harvesting practices in Jordan’s rainfed agricultural systems
We analyze system barriers for water harvesting innovation in Jordanian agriculture. • We utilize functional-structural technological innovation systems analysis. • Main barriers are financial limitations, lack of a common vision, and institutional. • We suggest policy interventions to build protected niches and increase coordination. • Foreign donors and traditional law play large role in developing country transition. This study identifies syst…
Nutritional, Economic, and Environmental Costs of Milk Waste in a Classroom School Breakfast Program
Objectives. To measure fluid milk waste in a US School Breakfast in the Classroom Program and estimate its nutritional, economic, and environmental effects. Methods. Fluid milk waste was directly measured on 60 elementary school classroom days in a medium-sized, urban district. The US Department of Agriculture nutrition database, district cost data, and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e) emissions and water footprint estimates for fluid milk were…
Carrying capacity of U.S. agricultural land
Strategies for environmental sustainability and global food security must account for dietary change. Using a biophysical simulation model we calculated human carrying capacity under ten diet scenarios. The scenarios included two reference diets based on actual consumption and eight “Healthy Diet” scenarios that complied with nutritional recommendations but varied in the level of meat content. We considered the U.S. agricultural land base and acc…
