The Mary Ann Swetland Center for Environmental Health will hold its next seminar series event Tuesday, Sept. 17, from 9 to 10 a.m. via Zoom. The topic of this session will be “Harvest Share: A Community-Centered, Equity Driven Multi-Level Strategy To Improve Diet.”
Harvest Share program is a partnered program across academia, nine farm and community-based partners, two elementary schools and consultants specializing in language justice and social marketing. Harvest Share is an equity-centered multi-level strategy to improve diet for immigrant communities in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and the program is designed for English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish and Bangla-speakers.
Stella Yi, principal investigator of the National Institutes of Health grant that funds the study, and Liz Dowd, critical strategic and farm programming lead for Harvest Share, will walk the audience through the formative research process to get to this point, including the program foundation driven by participatory systems science, provide a program overview and updates on progress.
