“…This crucial finding may be attributed to the nature of education where patrons are handed recipes of nutrition handouts, classes, and fresh produce, which may not be effective regarding vegetable consumption since vegetables often require cooking; yet cooking is based on convenience and taste preference, not only an interest in obtaining nutrition and health-enhancing compounds. (Additionally, some vegetables have a shorter shelf-life than fruits: by the time patrons go to collect, vegetables could be already spoiled and poor quality (Ghahremani-Nahr et al, 2023, ISUEO, 2022, Long et al, 2022).…”

Food insecurity and nutrition education: The role of Extension Master Gardeners in providing fresh produce to food pantries

The nutritional profile of food pantry inventories has been a challenge to maintain at a higher level. Master Gardener volunteer programs have recently started designing community donation gardens to address the nutritional gaps in food pantry inventory and programming. These programs often claim to serve their communities and to engage many local stakeholders, but it is unclear where, how, and to what extent each stakeholder group is involved and how their involvement shapes programming. To understand the role of community engagement in a master gardener community garden donation program, program, we conducted a qualitative study in which we carried out a document review of data from 32 counties in Iowa served by a statewide Master Gardener program over five years. This review provided data that enabled us to analyze stakeholder participation in program planning. Drawing on the Interactive Model for ProgramPlanning, we assessed stakeholder roles and found that while the program engages many stakeholders, food pantry patron involvement in the planning process was low. Involving patrons in the program planning process is necessary to ensure that program goals and objectives are designed in service to the community the programs exist to serve. Is key to accomplishing both sustainability and efficacy in the effort to make fresh produce more accessible to those facing food insecurity.
