Abstract Objectives To determine the efficacy of a new food scholarship program by assessing changes of food security status, nutrient intake, and food group servings over a 10-week period. Methods A food scholarship program was implemented at Texas Woman's University in Houston. Students were provided twice a month fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy and meat products, as well as non-perishable foods donated by the Houston Food Bank. Baseline and 10 week data were collected. Food security was measured using the United States Department of Agriculture 6 question survey. Nutrient intake and number of food group servings were determined by analysis of 3-day food records. Paired t-tests were performed (SPSS v25) to assess changes with an alpha of 0.05 set for significance. Results Participants (n = 49) were primarily female (n = 38, 78%) with an average age of 28 ± 8 years. Ethnic/race distribution was 49% White, 27% Asian, 20% Black, and 4% other. Students were primarily single (76%) with few children. Food security was low or very low at baseline (51%) and remained low or very low at 10 weeks (45%). Increased nutrient intake included protein (76 ± 29 to 90 ± 34 gm/d, P = 0.001), niacin (37 ± 15 to 42 ± 15 mg NE/d, P = 0.002), magnesium (254 ± 98 to 285 ± 106 mg/d, P = 0.034), phosphorous (1196 ± 730 to 1235 ± 449 mg/d, P = 0.039), and potassium (2.2 ± 0.1.9 to 2.5 ± 0.9 g/d, P = 0.019). Overall, the number of vegetable servings increased (2.6 ± 1.8 to 3.3 ± 2.0/d, P = 0.034). Few students (26%) were achieving the recommended dietary intake of Vitamin D (26%) or Vitamin E (60%) and sodium intake exceeded recommendations by more than 200%. Conclusions Implementation of a food scholarship program increased nutrient intake (protein, niacin, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium) and servings of vegetables. Nevertheless, many college students remained food insecure and several nutrients remained below recommended intake levels. Funding Sources Houston Food Bank provided the food.

The Impact

When the Oregon Food Bank began conducting Community Food Assessments in 2009, they enlisted graduate students in Oregon State University's (OSU) applied anthropology program to examine the impact of the university on food security in Benton County. We present the results from two food sustainability assessments undertaken at OSU from 2010-2014. We reflect on the process of engaging in community-led alternative food projects.

The paper highlights the system of food security of the state. The purpose of the article is to study food security of Ukraine and identify preconditions for forming the system of its provision. The subject-matter of the study is the theoretical and practical aspects of providing food security in the country. In the process of the study, the following methods were used: dialectical – to reveal regularities and factors of the food security system, system analysis – to identify the essence of food security of the country, graphical analysis – for a schematic representation of generalized theoretical and practical results of the research, logical generalization of the results – to substantiate the basic preconditions for forming a system for ensuring food security of the country. The stable system of ensuring food security of the population, the development of the agro-industrial complex and the food industry are important factors in improving the country’s economic welfare. Key problems in ensuring the food security of Ukraine are analysed, among them are: low level of real incomes of the majority of the population; reduction in the share of small and medium businesses; low competitiveness of agriculture and food industry; insufficiently developed infrastructure of the food market; rising unemployment; increase in grain export volumes; deterioration of agricultural land quality; environmental pollution; the level of urbanization of the population. Main preconditions for forming the food security system are identified and substantiated: creation of favourable institutional environment that requires completion of the land reform in Ukraine; increasing the efficiency of agricultural land use; expanding the tools of state support for agricultural production; stimulating the development of crop and livestock industry; expansion of integration and technological links between agricultural producers and food industry enterprises. Based on the results obtained, the author determined the factors and conditions of the food security system.

Abstract Objectives To determine how food insecurity is associated with overall diet quality in college students following the implementation of a new food scholarship program. Changes of Healthy Eating Index (HEI) and food security status were compared over a 10-week period. Methods A new food scholarship program at Texas Woman's University in Houston provided students fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy and meat products, as well as non-perishable foods twice monthly. The Houston Food Bank donated all foods. Baseline and 10-week data were collected. Food security was measured with the USDA 6-item short form of the Food Security Survey Module. Total HEI-2015 and component scores were calculated from analysis of 3-day food records and compared by paired t-tests. ANCOVA estimated the impact of food security (high, low, very low) on HEI post scores, controlling for HEI baseline scores, age, gender, and race. Results Participants (n = 49) were primarily female (n = 38, 78%) with an average age of 28 ± 8 years. Ethnic/race distribution was 49% White, 27% Asian, 20% Black, and 4% other. Participants were primarily single (76%). Food security was low (31.9%) or very low (19.1%) at baseline; at post-test, participants reporting very low food secure dropped to 15.6%. Total HEI-2015 scores at baseline (55.9 ± 11.54) did not increase significantly after 10 weeks (57.7 ± 10.63) (P = 0.298). However, after 10 weeks, total vegetable scores significantly increased (2.64 ± 1.39 to 3.19 ± 1.33) (P = 0.023). There was no significant food security group effect (P = 0.49); however, there was a positive association between age and HEI post scores independent of the other model effects (β = 0.59 + 0.17; P = 0.001). Conclusions HEI-2015 total vegetable component scores increased with implementation of a food scholarship program. Nevertheless, many college students remained food insecure and overall diet quality needs improvement. Funding Sources Food donated by the Houston Food Bank.
