the potential of genetically modified food crops to improve human nutrition in developing countries 1
Journal of Development Studies, 2007Co-Authors: Howarth E BouisAbstract:Abstract Because of poor dietary quality and consequent widespread micronutrient malnutrition in low income countries, children and their mothers, who have higher requirements for vitamins and minerals due to rapid growth and reproduction respectively, have higher mortality, become sick more often, have their cognitive abilities compromised for a lifetime, and are less productive members of the workforce. Their quality of life and aggregate economic growth are unnecessarily compromised. One way that biotechnology can help to improve the nutrition and health of consumers in developing countries is by increasing the vitamin and mineral content and their bioavailability in Staple Foods.

plant breeding a new tool for fighting micronutrient malnutrition
Journal of Nutrition, 2002Co-Authors: Howarth E BouisAbstract:The final permanent solution to micronutrient malnutrition in developing countries is a substantial improvement in dietary quality-higher consumption of pulses, fruits, vegetables, fish and animal products that the poor already desire but cannot presently afford. Meanwhile breeding Staple Foods that are dense in minerals and vitamins provides a low-cost, sustainable strategy for reducing levels of micronutrient malnutrition. Getting plants to do the work of fortification, referred to as biofortification, can reach relatively remote rural populations that conventional interventions are not now reaching and can even have benefits for increased agricultural productivity. Biofortification, thus, complements conventional interventions. The symposium articles discuss several examples of ongoing research projects to develop and disseminate nutrient-dense Staple food crops and issues that remain to be resolved before successful implementation can be attained.

addressing micronutrient malnutrition through enhancing the nutritional quality of Staple Foods principles perspectives and knowledge gaps
Advances in Agronomy, 2001Co-Authors: Robin D Graham, Ross M Welch, Howarth E BouisAbstract:Abstract Five years ago, with international funding, several international agricultural research centers set out to explore the potential to improve the micronutrient quality of some Staple food crops. Five objectives were identified, and all needed a favorable result if breeding for higher micronutrient density in the Staples were to be deemed feasible. Useful genetic variation to exploit was needed. The traits needed to be manageable in a breeding program (simple screening and high heritability), and stable across a wide range of environments if impact was to be large. Above all, the traits needed to be combinable with traits for high yield to ensure that farmers chose the improved lines. Finally, it was necessary to show that the new types actually improved the health of humans of low nutrient status representing the target populations. The extra nutrients needed to be bioavailable to the gut. Today, only this last essential criterion remains to be fully satisfied. All other criteria are met to levels that lead us to claim that breeding for nutritional quality is a viable, practicable, and cost-effective strategy to complement existing interventionist strategies. Subject to satisfying the last criterion, and results are encouraging, we call for a major funding initiative, and the installation of a new paradigm for 21st century agriculture: one espousing food systems that are highly productive, sustainable, and nutritious. This paper reviews the case for and the rationale behind the project that is underway, gives an overview of the results to date and looks at the critical issues that still remain to be confronted.

the role of biotechnology for food consumers in developing countries
2000Co-Authors: Howarth E BouisAbstract:This paper assesses the potential benefits that biotechnology can provide food consumers in developing countries by examining the recent history of attempts to improve the micronutrient content of food crops, efforts that have used both biotechnology and traditional plant breeding. In developing countries, micronutrient deficiencies affect many of the poor, whose diets consist mostly of Staple Foods. Breeding to enhance the micronutrient levels in Staple Foods could help reduce this problem. Since trace minerals are also important for plant nutrition, related breeding may increase farm productivity at the same time. Plant breeding is more efficient than alternative interventions already in place for reducing micronutrient malnutrition. Identifying the appropriate combination of traditional and biotechnology tools should be based on cost-effectiveness considerations. The potentially enormous benefits to the poor in developing countries in relation to costs are so high that research in this area should be vigorously pursued.

economics of enhanced micronutrient density in food Staples
Field Crops Research, 1999Co-Authors: Howarth E BouisAbstract:Abstract The combining of benefits for human nutrition and agricultural productivity, resulting from breeding Staple food crops which are more efficient in the micronutrient metal uptake from the soil, and which accumulate more micronutrients into their seeds, results in extremely high ex ante estimates of benefit/costs ratios for investments in agricultural research in this area. This finding derives from the confluence of several complementary factors: • Rates of micronutrient malnutrition are high in developing countries, as are the consequent costs to human welfare and economic productivity. • Because Staple Foods are eaten in large quantities every day by the malnourished poor, delivery of enriched Staple Foods (fortified by the plants themselves during growth) can rely on existing consumer behavior. • A significant percentage of the soils in which these Staple Foods are grown are `deficient' in these micronutrient metals, which has kept crop yields low. In general, these soils in fact contain relatively high total amounts of micronutrient metals. However, because of binding to soil constituents, these nutrients have poor soil availability to Staple crop varieties that are currently available to farmers. • Adoption and spread of nutritionally-improved varieties by farmers can rely on profit incentives, either because of agronomic advantages on trace mineral-deficient soils or incorporation of nutritional improvements in the most productive varieties being released by agricultural research stations. • Benefits to relatively small investments in agricultural research may be disseminated widely, potentially accruing to hundreds of millions of people and millions of hectares of cropland. • Benefits from breeding advances, derived from initial, fixed costs, typically do not involve high recurring costs, and thus tend to be highly sustainable as long as an effective domestic agricultural research infrastructure is maintained.

improving the dietary quality of food parcels leads to improved dietary intake in dutch food bank recipients effects of a randomized controlled trial
European Journal of Nutrition, 2020Co-Authors: Judith E. Neter, Marjolein Visser, Coosje S Dijkstra, Jos W R Twisk, Ingeborg A. BrouwerAbstract:Since food banks have a strong influence on recipients’ diets, and seem to have difficulties in supporting healthy diets, improving the dietary quality of food parcels is important. The aim of our study was to assess whether improving the dietary quality of food parcels, using different strategies, can positively impact the actual dietary intake of Dutch food bank recipients. This randomized cross-over controlled trial (Trial ID: ISRCTN40554133) with four intervention conditions [(1) Control (standard food parcel), (2) snacks– (standard food parcel with replacement of unhealthy snacks by Staple Foods), (3) FV+ (standard food parcel plus the recommended daily amount of fruit and vegetables), (4) snacks– + FV+ (standard food parcel with replacement of unhealthy snacks by Staple Foods plus the recommended daily amount of fruit and vegetables)] included 163 food bank recipients, from three food banks. At baseline, participants filled in a questionnaire. Dietary intake data were collected through 24-h recalls after both intervention conditions at 4 and 8 weeks follow-up. Primary outcome was daily fruit and vegetable intake, secondary outcomes were daily dietary intakes of food groups and nutrients. Multi-level linear regression analysis, using a two-level model, showed a higher mean daily fruit intake in participants in the FV+ condition than in participants in the Control condition (delta (δ): 74 [40.3;107.6] g). Both mean daily fruit and vegetable intake were higher in participants in the Snacks– + FV+ condition than in participants in the Control condition (fruit δ: 81.3 [56.5;106.2] g; vegetables δ: 46.2 [17.5;74.9] g), as well as in the Snacks– condition (fruit δ: 70.0 [38.8;101.1] g; vegetables δ: 62.2 [26.2; 98.2] g). This study shows that improving the dietary quality of food parcels can positively impact the dietary intake of Dutch food bank recipients. With this information we can further develop effective strategies that can be easily applied by food banks, to improve dietary intake of food bank recipients.

small food store retailers views on healthy food retail policy in response to a local Staple Foods ordinance
Public Health Nutrition, 2021Co-Authors: Cydney M Mcguire, Megan R Winkler, Kathleen M Lenk, Lisa J Harnack, Darin J Erickson, Melissa N LaskaAbstract:OBJECTIVE Our objectives were to explore attitudes regarding food retail policy and government regulation among managers of small food stores and examine whether manager views changed due to the 2014 Minneapolis Staple Foods Ordinance, a city policy requiring retailers to stock specific healthy products. DESIGN Manager interviewer-administered surveys were used to assess views on food retail policy four times from 2014 to 2017. We examined baseline views across manager and store and neighbourhood characteristics using cross-sectional regression analyses and examined changes over time using mixed regression models. In 2017, open-ended survey questions asked about manager insights on the Minneapolis Staple Foods Ordinance. SETTING Minneapolis, MN, where the ordinance was enacted, and St. Paul, MN, a control community, USA. PARTICIPANTS Managers from 147 small food retail stores. RESULTS At baseline, 48 % of managers were likely to support a policy requiring stores to stock healthy Foods/beverages, 67·5 % of managers were likely to support voluntary programmes to help retailers stock healthy Foods and 23·7 % agreed government regulation of business is good/necessary. There was a significant increase in overall support for food retail policies and voluntary programmes from 2014 to 2017 (P < 0·01); however, neither increase differed by city, suggesting no differential impact from the ordinance. Minneapolis store managers reported some challenges with ordinance compliance and offered suggestions for how local government could provide support. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that managers of small food retail stores are becoming increasingly amenable to healthy food policies; yet, challenges need to be addressed to ensure healthy food is available to all customers.

store and neighborhood differences in retailer compliance with a local Staple Foods ordinance
BMC Public Health, 2020Co-Authors: Caitlin E Caspi, Megan R Winkler, Kathleen M Lenk, Lisa J Harnack, Darin J Erickson, Melissa N LaskaAbstract:Policies to improve healthy food retail have been recognized as a potential means of reducing diet-related health disparities. The revised 2014 Minneapolis Staple Foods Ordinance instituted minimum stocking standards for healthy, Staple Foods. The objective of this study was to examine retailer compliance with the policy, and whether compliance varied by neighborhood and store characteristics. In this natural experiment, audits were conducted annually pre- and post-ordinance (2014–2017) in 155 small/nontraditional stores in Minneapolis, MN and a comparison city (St. Paul, MN). Compliance measures for 10 product categories included: (1) met requirements for ≥8 categories; (2) 10-point scale (one point for each requirement met); and (3) carried any item in each category. Store characteristics included store size and ownership status. Neighborhood characteristics included census-tract socioeconomic status and low-income/low-access status. Analyses were conducted in 2018. All compliance measures increased in both Minneapolis and St. Paul from pre- to post-policy; Minneapolis increases were greater only for carrying any item in each category (p < 0.01). In Minneapolis, corporate (vs. independent) stores were generally more compliant. No differences were found by neighborhood characteristics. Overall trends suggest broad movement among Minneapolis stores towards providing a minimum level of Staple Foods. Increases were greater in corporate stores. Trends do not suggest neighborhood-level disparities in compliance. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02774330, retrospectively registered May 17, 2016.

evaluation of the first u s Staple Foods ordinance impact on nutritional quality of food store offerings customer purchases and home food environments
International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 2019Co-Authors: Melissa N Laska, Kathleen M Lenk, Lisa J Harnack, Caitlin E Caspi, Jennifer E Pelletier, Stacey G Moe, Darin J EricksonAbstract:Many lower-income and racially diverse communities in the U.S. have limited access to healthy Foods, with few supermarkets and many small convenience stores, which tend to stock limited quantities and varieties of healthy Foods. To address food access, in 2015 the Minneapolis Staple Foods Ordinance became the first policy requiring food stores to stock minimum quantities and varieties of 10 categories of healthy Foods/beverages, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other Staples, through licensing. This study examined whether: (a) stores complied, (b) overall healthfulness of store environments improved, (c) healthy customer purchases increased, and (d) healthfulness of home food environments improved among frequent small store shoppers. Data for this natural (or quasi) experiment were collected at four times: pre-policy (2014), implementation only (no enforcement, 2015), enforcement initiation (2016) and continued monitoring (2017). In-person store assessments were conducted to evaluate food availability, price, quality, marketing and placement in randomly sampled food retailers in Minneapolis (n = 84) and compared to those in a nearby control city, St. Paul, Minnesota (n = 71). Stores were excluded that were: supermarkets, authorized through WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children), and specialty stores (e.g., spice shops). Customer intercept interviews were conducted with 3,039 customers exiting stores. Home visits, including administration of home food inventories, were conducted with a sub-sample of frequent shoppers (n = 88). Overall, findings indicated significant improvements in healthy food offerings by retailers over time in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, with no significant differences in change between the two cities. Compliance was low; in 2017 only 10% of Minneapolis retailers in the sample were fully compliant, and 51% of participating Minneapolis retailers met at least 8 of the 10 required standards. Few changes were observed in the healthfulness of customer purchases or the healthfulness of home food environments among frequent shoppers, and changes were not different between cities. This study is the first evaluation a local Staple Foods ordinance in the U.S. and reflects the challenges and time required for implementing such policies. NCT02774330 .

pricing of Staple Foods at supermarkets versus small food stores
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2017Co-Authors: Caitlin E Caspi, Kathleen M Lenk, Lisa J Harnack, Darin J Erickson, Jennifer E Pelletier, Melissa N LaskaAbstract:Prices affect food purchase decisions, particularly in lower-income communities, where access to a range of food retailers (including supermarkets) is limited. The aim of this study was to examine differences in Staple food pricing between small urban food stores and the closest supermarkets, as well as whether pricing differentials varied based on proximity between small stores and larger retailers. In 2014, prices were measured for 15 Staple Foods during store visits in 140 smaller stores (corner stores, gas-marts, dollar stores, and pharmacies) in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN and their closest supermarket. Mixed models controlling for store type were used to estimate the average price differential between: (a) smaller stores and supermarkets; (b) isolated smaller stores (>1 mile to closest supermarket) and non-isolated smaller stores; and (c) isolated smaller stores inside versus outside USDA-identified food deserts. On average, all items except white bread were 10–54% more expensive in smaller stores than in supermarkets (p < 0.001). Prices were generally not significantly different in isolated stores compared with non-isolated stores for most items. Among isolated stores, there were no price differences inside versus outside food deserts. We conclude that smaller food stores have higher prices for most Staple Foods compared to their closest supermarket, regardless of proximity. More research is needed to examine Staple food prices in different retail spaces.
