Presentation Transcript

  1. Overview • Global Challenges • Food and Health Nexus • Agricultural Focus • LGUs • USDA, NIFA, ARS

  2. aka Wicked Problems Societal Challenges • Population • Food • Water • Environment • Climate Change • Energy • Health • Poverty • Population

  3. 21st Century Food System Challenges • Health • Food safety, nutrition, obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, cancer, hunger, poverty, families/children • Ecological Footprint • Water/land use, natural resource and environmental stewardship, greenhouse gas, global climate change, depleted soils • Agricultural Competitiveness • Improve crop and animal agriculture; enhance farm productivity and income; policies; supply chain; storage; transportation • Bioeconomy • Replacements for petroleum-based products and enhance community economic well being

  4. The Nexus

  5. Nexus Between Food and Health • Two ends of the health spectrum • Excess food and food insecurity • Billions dilemma • Preventable • CDC: 75 percent of healthcare spending for chronic diseases • Health challenges • Chronic diseases • Food insecurity/hunger • Food safety • Environmental

  6. Food security and measurable improvements in health • Nutritious and safe food • Community efforts to fight hunger and food insecurity • Strategies to combat childhood obesity • Are food systems able to deliver optimal health?

  7. Land-Grant University Focus • A new compact ~ Crowd source • Academia, government, private sector, NGOs • Outreach networks through the Cooperative Extension System, Education, Health Sectors • eXtension and online tools – democratizing knowledge • Food and health research and education • Bio- and physical sciences • Relevance of environmental and social sciences • Quality science to inform policy

  8. Food Systems and Optimal Health • Health outcomes driving genetics & breeding • Wheat, Soy, Maize, Milo, Rice, Tomatoes, Berries • Animal traits • Altering the gut microbiome • Alteration of food structure • Processing • Retain natural and fresh attributes • Matrices that modulate caloric content • Enhance benefits of bioactive compounds • Healthy foods and quality

  9. Food Security, Production, Human Health Tomatoes = Lycopene Cancer Prevention Clinical Trials

  10. Development of Soy Bread Goal: deliver 60 mg of isoflavone in 2 slices of bread. Dr. Yael Vodovotz Soy-Almond (SAB) Roast SAB Ferment SAB Steam SAB 40% Soy Bread 30% Soy Bread 20% Soy Bread Impact of soy bread on Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cell (MDSC) biology in patients with solid tumors Dr. Greg Lesinski

  11. Food Systems and Optimal Health • FAIR 2012: One Health—Understanding and improving animal health, human health, ecological health • Complex, multi-dimensional • Biology, genetics, socio-economic status, culture, and behavior – e.g., Latino children • ‘Omics and personalized medicine • Exercise and active lifestyles • Access – Children’s health, food deserts

  12. Dairy products and health • Bone health, blood pressure, probiotics • Pulse Heath Initiative – Prevention of obesity • Cornell/ARS: Maize with high iron availability • Foodborne diseases and food safety • Dan Luo: DNA-based nanobarcodeto track bacteria in the food system to detect pathogens and toxins on site • Craig Altier: Define Salmonella genes and genetic pathwaysessential for survival, proliferation in tomatoes • Functional genomics: Dual use research • Biomedical applications • Improve quality, nutritional characteristics, shelf life, and food safety

  13. NIFA Focus • Discovery through Delivery Continuum • DiscoveryTranslationInnovationSolution • Capacity/Formula Programs • Hatch, Evans-Allen, Smith-Lever, 1890s Extension, FRTEP, 1994 Capacity, Insular Areas • 4-H, EFNEP, SNAP-ED • The Pipeline • Next generation scientists, Extension specialists and educators, producers, better informed public

  14. Competitive Programs AFRI • Challenge Areas • Food Security • Nutrition and Childhood Obesity • Food safety • Climate Change • Bioenergy • Fellowships • Pre- and post-doctoral

  15. Foundational Areas • Plant Health and Production and Plant Products • Animal Health and Production and Animal Products • Food Safety, Nutrition, and Health • Renewable Energy, Natural Resources, and Environment • Agriculture Systems and Technology • Agriculture Economics and Rural Communities

  16. Mandatory Programs • Specialty Crops Research Initiative • Biomass Research and Development Initiative • Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Development Initiative • Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative

  17. Programs Focused on Health • Food Safety • Improving safety of the nation’s food supply through the support of basic research and integrated science programs • Nutrition and Childhood Obesity • NCCOR—National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research—Public-Private collaboration (NIH, CDC, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation)

  18. Programs Focused on Access/Hunger • USDA school breakfast and lunch programs • Long term impacts – health and societal • Address hunger and food security • Community Foods Projects • Increase food production and access • Local and regional food systems • Food deserts http://join.strength.org/site/PageNavigator/SOS/Breakfast_2013.html

  19. The Education Pipeline

  20. Enhancing Healthy and Active Lifestyles SNAP-ED

  21. Food and Health Foci • Promote high priority research/outreach in food quality, safety, and access in relation to health • Ensure food is nutritious and safe • Promote strategies to combat childhood obesity • Work with local communities to fight hunger and food insecurity • Food and Health literacy

  22. Food and Health Foci • Research, Education, and Extension • Sustainable food production • Environmental, Economic, Social • Healthier, sustainable foods • Access • Chronic diseases, foodborne illnesses • Nexus between biology, culture, behavior • Policy research • Education

  23. A systems framework: food &nutrition security

  24. Questions • How impact food insecurity? • How improve traits? • Clinical validation? • How increase consumption of fruit, vegetables? • Long term impacts? • MyLifestyle, MyBehavior? • Resurrect HomeEc courses?
