  2. CDC/USDA Collaboration • FNS, WIC and PedNSS/PNNS – Larry Grummer-Strawn • Healthy People 2020 – Latetia Moore • Food Environment and Diet Quality Research with ERS - Latetia Moore • AMS, Farmers Market Consortium & Eval Project - Joel Kimmons, CDC • National Fruit & Vegetable Alliance – Duke Storen, OSIPO, Larry Grummer-Strawn, CDC • National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research- Laura Kettel-Kahn, CDC, Molly Kretsch, Office of Chief Scientist, USDA • School and Child Nutrition, School Wellness Policies- Howell Wechsler, DASH, CDC • DNPAO working on state childcare – Barb Polhamous, Meredith Reynolds • CDC/FDA/FTA/USDA working on criteria for foods marketed to children

  4. Healthy Food Financing Initiative • $400 million partnership of Treasury, USDA, and HHS • Includes bringing healthy foods into underserved areas via grocery stores, convenience stores, farmers markets • Eliminate food deserts across the country in seven years • USDA Food Atlas – Inclusion of CDC surveillance

  5. Healthier US Schools Challenge

  6. FNCS/USDA – CDC Detail Goals Facilitate connections for ongoing communication at various levels Develop understanding of each other for identifying collaboration entry points including goals, research, future directions, and each other’s perspectives Develop an action plan with steps for CDC and FNCS to integrate programs, strengthen and institutionalize organizational linkages

  7. Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) - Nutrition Evidence Library - Dietary Guidelines for Americans - Food Guide Pyramid - Nutrient Content of the US Food Supply - USDA Food Plans: Cost of Food

  8. FNS • SNAP – State Social Services • SNAP-Ed – State Social Services (EARS) • Farmers Market Nutrition Program • WIC – Dep. of Health • Child Nutrition Programs – Dep. Of Education Office of Research and Analysis Office of Strategic Initiatives, Partnerships and Outreach

  9. Missions FNS Reduce hunger and food insecurity by ensuring better access to food, a healthful diet, and nutrition education for children and needy families DNPAO Lead strategic public health efforts to prevent and control obesity, chronic disease and other health conditions through physical activity and good nutrition FNS Priorities (my perception): Address hunger and obesity in school lunch programs End childhood hunger Increase program participation and outreach Streamline nutrition assistance program applications Expand Summer Food Service Program

  10. Collaboration Challenges • Individual benefit vs. population approach • Food Security and Ending Hunger vs. Obesity • FNCS ‘authority’ and legislative language (Waiting for Child Nutrition Reauthorization) • SNAP-Ed interpretation • SNAP-Ed reach to non-SNAP people • SNAP use of Partnerships • Making nutrition education and environmental and policy changes complementary

  12. State Collaboration Highlights:Non-profit, State Health, and USDA Programs Expanding Access to Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Through WIC-Authorized Corner Stores http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/fh/wic/vendor/fpchng/index.html Increased Fruit and Vegetable Access Through EBT at Farmers Markets http://www.farmersmarket.msu.edu

  20. Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food MISSION: Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food (KFY2) strengthens the critical connection between farmers and consumers and supports local and regional food systems. Through this initiative, USDA integrates and emphasizes programs and policies that: • Stimulate food- and agriculturally-based community economic development; • Foster new opportunities for farmers and ranchers; • Promote locally and regionally produced and processed food; • Cultivate healthy eating habits and educated, empowered consumers; • Expand access to affordable fresh and local food; and • Demonstrate the connection between food, agriculture, community and the environment. KYF2 also leads a national conversation about food and agriculture to increase the linkages between consumers and farmers.
