About the Webinar
This presentation will describe factors that may influence participation in community-supported agriculture (CSA) including: 1) fruit and vegetable (FV) preferences; 2) knowledge and beliefs about FVs; 3) FV-related behaviors; and 4) knowledge of, and concerns about, CSA participation. Practices that align the needs of low-income families and farms are discussed.

Karla L. Hanson, PhD is Senior Research Associate and Senior Lecturer in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University. Her research primarily focuses on food insecurity, and public policies affecting low-income families and children in the U.S. Currently, she is co-PI of Farm Fresh Foods for Healthy Kids (F3HK): an intervention to examine whether cost-offset (subsidized) CSAs coupled with tailored nutrition education improve dietary intake and quality among children and parents in low-income households. Dr. Hanson also teaches Introduction to Community Nutrition Research in Cornell's Dietetic Internship.

About the Webinar
The webinar will focus on presenting the results from a research project that aimed to identify factors perceived to influence implementation of healthy eating policy, systems, and environmental strategies (PSEs) in child care settings serving low-income children. We will present the background of the project, the methods, and results of this mixed-method project. Finally, we will discuss how findings informed the operationalization of indicators and the development of an assessment tool designed to tailor PSE implementation to diverse childcare settings.

About the Webinar
This presentation is about eating behavior of indigenous people towards the conservation of natural resources. Being that Ecuador is a mega diverse country, it has a high food biodiversity and many cultures who consume it. Deforestation is, however, perceived as a big barrier for dietary diversity as natural resources, together with several food species, are disappearing. Our study documented the calls to action to overcome the latter issue.
About the Presenter
Daniela Penafiel, PhD, Escuela Superior Politecnica del Litoral
Dr. Penafiel is a food scientist devoted to the understanding of indigenous eating behavior aiming towards SDG2. She has a master's degree in Rural Development and Human Nutrition and a PhD in BioScience Engineering. Currently, she has worked with amazon, coastal and Andes communities in Ecuador. As a future plan, she wants to document eating issues in the Galápagos Islands.

About the Webinar
Epidemiological studies have described a “Dietary Acculturation Paradox”: Increased acculturation to the United States is associated with poor diet. Thus, understanding how to communicate about diet in a culturally appropriate manner with bicultural populations is critical for advancing public health goals. In this webinar, I present evidence from a series of related studies with Mexican-Americans that demonstrate how communication – information from the media and non-clinical sources – contributes to the dietary acculturation paradox. I will also discuss implications for the design of effective nutrition messaging, including strategies for re-appropriating culture to empower and activate bicultural Latinos for social change.
About the Presenter
A. Susana Ramirez, PhD, MPH, University of California, Merced
Dr. A. Susana Ramírez is a social scientist whose research focuses on communication in the service of social justice and health equity. Currently funded research examines the development and effectiveness of culturally tailored messages for bicultural Latina populations, the feasibility of using mobile phones for tailored behavior change communications, understanding communication barriers to health decision-making, and developing a multilevel communication strategy to create a culture of health. Dr. Ramírez is an Assistant Professor of Public Health Communication at the University of California in Merced. She was awarded the 2017 Early Career Award by the American Public Health Association’s Public Health Education and Health Promotion Division.
