Local Food Environments: Food Access in America de Kimberly B. Morland

Local Food Environments: Food Access in America

Autor Kimberly B. Morland, Yael M. Lehmann, Allison E. Karpyn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 apr 2022
"In this book, Morland, Lehmann, and Karpyn discuss the critical need for healthy food financing programs as a vehicle to improve food access for all Americans. In my career as a public servant, there are very few legislative achievements that I’m prouder of than the Healthy Food Financing Initiative, which started in my home state of Pennsylvania. The program gained status as a proven and economically sustainable federal program that is helping to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods: by allowing millions access to healthy, affordable food."
– Congressman Dwight Evans
United States House of Representatives, Pennsylvania, District 3
"If we work together, we can create a healthy food system that is equitable and accessible to all. This book highlights the importance of healthy food projects like grocery stores, farmers markets, co-ops, and other healthy food retail in revitalizing local communities across the country. Without basic nourishment, kids and families simply won’t be successful – which is why this book is a must read."
– Sam Kass
President Obama’s Senior Nutrition Policy Advisor
and Executive Director of Let’s Move!
"Morland and colleagues’ new second edition provides an excellent foundation for courses in food policy and community nutrition. Their detailed review of the economics of local and national food financing will open students’ minds to the complexity inherent in measuring and interpreting outcomes."
– Robert S. Lawrence, MD, MACP
Founder and Former Director of the Center for a Livable Future
Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public Health

Notă biografică

Kimberly B. Morland is an Associate Professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. She obtained her PhD in epidemiology from the University of North Carolina. Dr. Morland has developed new epidemiologic methods for geographically based data collection and analysis to investigate associations between neighborhood environments and residents’ behaviors that have been replicated by investigators in areas across the United States and other countries. They have also been used by community-based organizations to support local changes to commercial environments. Dr. Morland has served on a number of national and local review panels, worked with community-based organizations, and implemented one of the first interventions to address food access by developing a community-owned and community-operated food store in Brooklyn. Her research focuses on the impact of local environments on health.
