“…Since COVID-19, we have seen tremendous inflation in grocery stores. Effects from climate change, such as drought and extreme weather, affect the global food chain and cause production shortages, contributing to the rise in food costs 44–46. Inflation at grocery stores affects BIPOC women at a higher rate and reduces nutrient access due to high costs.…”

“…Effects from climate change, such as drought and extreme weather, affect the global food chain and cause production shortages, contributing to the rise in food costs. [44][45][46] Inflation at grocery stores affects BIPOC women at a higher rate and reduces nutrient access due to high costs. As 2024 approaches, food prices have been predicted to decrease but not return to prepandemic prices; all food processes are expected to increase by 2.8%.…”

Introduction: The proposal to administer cuts for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) could create deficiencies in nutrition for already food insecure, low-income Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color (BIPOC) pregnant, postpartum women, and children. WIC is a US Department of Agriculturefunded nutritional program for women, infants, and children. The current proposal is to cut the funding by $800 million for the 2024 fiscal year, affecting 75% of its low-income recipients and predominantly BIPOC. Methods: Relevant websites and journal articles were analyzed to determine how the proposed cuts would create barriers within the social determinants of health that contribute to disparities in health outcomes of WIC recipients. Results: Many studies have demonstrated that nutrition in the first 1000 days is critical for the healthy development of newborns. Prior research suggests that maternal health outcomes for BIPOC populations are contingent upon the increased allocation of nutritional support programs such as WIC and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). Nutrients provided by the cash benefit voucher have been proven to contribute to participants' health outcomes, and allotment increases can benefit maternal and infant health outcomes. Conclusion and future directions: Neonatal nurses can help advocate for more robust policies that support the health of their patients. Future directions call for systematic changes in policies and legislation that directly affect maternal health outcomes, supportive breastfeeding policies, and applied research on solutions to improve maternal health outcomes of BIPOC populations in addition to increased awareness, education, and implementation of VeggieRx programs, investment in affordable, sustainable grassroots urban agriculture solutions.

“…These environmental changes, coupled with rising global temperatures, are not only diminishing the quantity of food produced but are also compromising its nutritional quality. This ongoing climatic challenge will worsen over time and necessitate a major shift in agricultural practices, driving the need for innovative, climate‐resilient farming techniques as well as novel food production technologies that are decoupled from the field 4 .…”

The assessment of food safety and quality is a matter of paramount importance, especially considering the challenges posed by climate change. Convenient, eco‐friendly, and non‐destructive techniques have attracted extensive attention in the food industry because they can retain food safety and quality. Fluorescence radiation, the process by which fluorophore emits light upon the absorption of ultraviolet or visible light, offers the advantages of high sensitivity and selectivity. The use of excitation–emission matrix (EEM) has been extensively explored in the food industry, but on‐site detection of EEMs remain a challenge. To address this limitation, laser‐induced fluorescence (LIF) and light emitting diode‐induced fluorescence (LED‐IF) have been implemented in many cases to facilitate the transition of fluorescence measurements from the laboratory to commercial applications. This review provides an overview of the application of commercially available LIF/LED‐IF devices for non‐destructive food measurement and recent studies that focus on the development of LIF/LED‐IF devices for commercial applications. These studies were categorized into two stages: the preliminary exploration stage, which emphasizes the selection of an appropriate excitation wavelength based on the combination of EEM and chemometrics, and the pre‐application stage, where experiments were conducted on scouting with specific excitation wavelength. Although commercially available devices have emerged in many research fields, only a limited number have been reported for use in the food industry. Future studies should focus on enhancing the diversity of test samples and parameters that can be measured by a single device, exploring the application of LIF techniques for detecting low‐concentration substances in food, investigating more quantitative approaches, and developing embedded computing devices.
