Identifying Urban Immigrant Food-Cultivation Practices for Culturally-Tailored Garden-Based Nutrition Programs

Abstract: Garden-based nutrition programs are used to address food access and nutrition in low-income communities. In urban immigrant communities, food-growing practices may be shaped by environmental and cultural factors, and may not reflect the assumptions behind these curricula. Built-environment research was adapted to develop a protocol for assessing a community's gardening practices. A random sample of census blocks was generated and mapped, observational protocols developed, iteratively tested and refined, then f… Show more

“…Control variable: Based on relevant research results on factors influencing food cultivation structure [17], six variables, namely technical environment, water use structure, irrigation ratio, financial support level for agriculture, disaster rate, and agricultural machinery level, were selected as control variables for this study model. Specific variable indicators and measurement methods are shown in Table 1.…”

“…In this study, concerning Zhi et al [36], input-output indicators were chosen and the GML index method was employed. These were then combined with the study of Buchthal et al [37] to include non-desired outputs, and the ecological value of grain cultivation was added to the desired output indicators. Our research aims to maximize the economic and ecological values of grain production while minimizing agricultural surface pollution, carbon emissions, and other input factors, to more scientifically, accurately, and reasonably reflect LEGP.…”

“…The convenience samples on which observational studies are based may fail to represent important urban gardening groups. In some cities, immigrants make a substantial but often unrecognized contribution to home and community garden production Lovell, 2012, 2015;Buchthal et al, 2019). Language barriers may militate against their inclusion in study samples.…”
