Toward sustainability: Topics included in U.S. food system plans
JAFSCD article by Jane Karetny, Casey Hoy, Jill K. Clark, Kareem M. Usher, and Maria Manta Conroy (all at The Ohio State University)
<https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=125366756&msgid=1016195&act=3O09&c=488966&pid=12557161&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.5304%2Fjafscd.2022.114.008&cf=60033&v=60e345174307fffd6a88d4c5ef6ab4c4b0305a5ab3350b55379ed4486486455a> Full article
Current modes of food production and distribution fail to deliver what is expected or needed to ensure their contribution to full societal well-being. Over the last two decades, food system plans have gained popularity as a tool for communities, both big and small, to move toward a more healthy and sustainable food system.
In a new JAFSCD article, <https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=125366756&msgid=1016195&act=3O09&c=488966&pid=12557161&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.5304%2Fjafscd.2022.114.008&cf=60033&v=60e345174307fffd6a88d4c5ef6ab4c4b0305a5ab3350b55379ed4486486455a> “Planning toward sustainable food systems: An exploratory assessment of local U.S. food system plans,” authors Jane Karetny ( <mailto:janekaretny at gmail.com?subject=Inquiry%20regarding%20your%20JAFSCD%20article> corresponding author), Casey Hoy, Jill K. Clark, Kareem M. Usher, and Maria Manta Conroy present findings from an assessment of government-adopted U.S. food system plans. The article (1) documents the content of 28 plans through a sustainability lens and (2) explores whether the community capitals available within a community are associated with the content of food system plans.
KEY FINDINGS
* City, county, and regional scale governments integrated a broad range of issues into their food system plans.
* Certain issues across every dimension of sustainability are much less frequently included in plans, such as strategies related to participation in decision-making, financial infrastructure, and the stewardship of natural resources.
* Regression results identified statistically significant linear relationships between particular capitals and the proportion of policy areas included in plans. Higher metrics associated with poverty were associated with the inclusion of fewer policy areas and potentially a narrower policy agenda.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR POLICY, PRACTICE, AND RESEARCH
* The policy impact areas identified in this research can be used as a framework to consider the types of policies that may be missing from existing plans or to plan for future ones.
* An immediate step that practitioners can take toward comprehensive food system planning is to include environmental assessments in their toolbox and to center equity and distributed decision-making as guiding principles in their planning processes.

Authors Kathryn Z. Ruhf and Kate Clancy take a comprehensive look at regional food systems and make a compelling case for why they are possible and desirable.
This forward-looking final report explores the concepts, practices, challenges, and promise of regional food systems. Ruhf and Clancy make the case for “thinking regionally,” drawing examples from the Northeast and across the U.S. Eight chapters take a wide perspective on the dimensions and attributes of regional food systems. The report posits 6 dimensions and 12 attributes of regional food systems, with resilience, diversity, and sustainability as overarching themes. Topics include production, food security, economic development, land access and natural resources, climate change, supply-chain infrastructure, and social justice. The authors explore the challenges to and constraints of developing regional food systems, and suggest what is needed to advance them. <https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=125366756&msgid=1016195&act=3O09&c=488966&pid=12557161&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lysoncenter.org%2Findex.php%2Fpublications%2Fa-regional-imperative-report&cf=60033&v=aa1462bda5eac65080a89b80ae252ba87c76b7a529d16cc9765749fb902340ac> Read or download the report for free!

“We know this is the right thing to do”: Farmer views toward participating in gleaning programs
JAFSCD peer-reviewed article by Susan P. Harvey (U of Kansas), Rebecca Mount, Heather Valentine, and Cheryl A. Gibson (all at U of Kansas Medical Center)
<https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=125366756&msgid=1016195&act=3O09&c=488966&pid=12557161&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.5304%2Fjafscd.2022.114.016&cf=60033&v=3cea5fa5f03bfbb26557eebf694a1a60f378b4216ebf91c66bcd61c0c03e00b0> Full article
Food waste and food insecurity are two concurrent and systemic public health, economic, and social issues. Food waste begins at the farm level and occurs anywhere in the supply chain. It is estimated that 62.5 million tons of food are wasted in the U.S. annually. Much of the food thrown into our landfills is nutritious, edible food that could provide nourishment to food-insecure individuals and families. At the farm level, it is estimated that 10.1 million tons of potentially edible fruits and vegetables are lost each year.
In an effort to promote community food security, gleaning programs offer one possible solution to diverting food loss at the farm level to local food rescue organizations. However, despite the feasibility of on-the-farm-gleaning programs, only a small portion of edible food at the farm level is recovered through such programs.
In a new JAFSCD article, <https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=125366756&msgid=1016195&act=3O09&c=488966&pid=12557161&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fdoi.org%2F10.5304%2Fjafscd.2022.114.016&cf=60033&v=3cea5fa5f03bfbb26557eebf694a1a60f378b4216ebf91c66bcd61c0c03e00b0> “Farmer attitudes and perceptions toward gleaning programs and the donation of excess produce to food rescue organizations,” authors Harvey ( <mailto:suharvey at ku.edu?subject=Inquiry%20regarding%20your%20JAFSCD%20article> corresponding author), Mount, Valentine, and Gibson present findings from a qualitative study to understand the perceptions of farmers who participate in a gleaning program. Insight is further explored from farmers who have never participated to understand their reasons for not donating produce through a gleaning program.
KEY FINDINGS
* Ease of donating, supporting the community, and tax incentives were primary benefits of participation in a gleaning program.
* Inadequate experience, inefficient volunteers, and lack of gleaning supplies were cited as primary challenges to participation.
* For farmers who have not participated in a gleaning program, safety and liability issues were reported as primary concerns.
* Farmers frequently communicate with one another. Food rescue organizations should enlist the support of a farmer to promote and increase the number of farmers participating in gleaning programs.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR POLICY, PRACTICE, AND RESEARCH
Government agencies, local foundations, and community members should continue to provide financial support to gleaning organizations to improve resources and infrastructure to enhance farmer-gleaner relationships.
