“…Transportation constrains the ability for managers to effectively target and reach out to limited-resource shoppers, making it more difficult for SNAP shoppers to locate and physically access the market to redeem their benefits through FAB and increase consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. These findings align with Wood and Horner's (2016) case study analysis of nutritionally at-risk, limited-resource populations' accessibility to SNAP-accepting locations, with the researchers ultimately suggesting that communities that have limited-resources, low-vehicle access and who are predominately African-American are significantly less likely to easily access retail food outlets. Similarly, Rigby et al (2012) used census tract data to examine whether neighborhood characteristics related to race, income, and rurality affected SNAP distribution accessibility.…”

n behalf of the JAFSCD staff and community, I would like to extend condolences to anyone in the JAFSCD community-our shareholders-who have lost family members or colleagues during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are with you. We also wish anyone who has contracted the virus our best wishes for a speedy and full recovery, and hope for a better future for those whose lives have been turned topsyturvey by the pandemic.On May 26, 2020, the United States officially reported losing 100,000 individuals, many of whom were vulnerable to this plague-especially the poor, people of color, the elderly, and essential workers. This represents a moral and systemic failure for the world's richest country. As Americans are cobbling together an assortment of food provisioning strategies, what we are witnessing is a demonstration of just how fragile American food security is in a time of crisis. However, as you'll see in this open call issue, COVID-19 is also highlighting our strengths and creativity, and what we can build on in a future food system that contributes to our overall health, well-being, and social resiliency.In response to the need for timely information, we are launching a year-long call for submissions on COVID-19 and the food system. We are fast-tracking for publication commentaries from researchers and Voices from the Grassroots essays from non-academics. In addition, we are calling for peer-reviewed papers to be submitted this fall (see details at https://foodsystemsjournal.org/index.php/fsj/call-for-papers). OOn our cover: Like many local food venues around the U.S. and world, the Ithaca (New York) Farmers Market (https://ithacamarket.com/) moved quickly to enable sales to continue safely in early spring as the COVID-19 pandemic grew.

“…In San Diego, the pandemic has had a similar impact: 44% of Black and Hispanic/Latine residents have experienced food insecurity, compared with 25% of the overall population ( 12 ). Nationwide, communities responded to these changes; 17% more families applied for SNAP ( 13 ) to help mitigate food inaccessibility and unaffordability ( 14 ). EBT programs, like Pandemic-EBT, were created to help families purchase food, and evidence suggests that these programs reduced food hardship ( 6 ).…”

“…Studies such as these may yield important discoveries but should be viewed as addressing only part of the core sociodemographic landscape. In contrast, other studies have shown that race, ethnicity, and SES are distinct social frameworks with unique system implications, although these sociodemographic groups can overlap in important ways (Williams, 1996 ; Wood and Horner, 2016 ; Hamann et al , 2018 ; Gurram et al , 2019 ).…”

Social equity has been a concept of interest for many years, gaining increased focus from energy and environmental communities. The equitable development, collection, and reporting of sociodemographic data (e.g., data related to socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity) are needed to help meet several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (i.e., Affordable and Clean Energy; Reduce Inequalities; Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions; and Partnerships for the Goals). Yet, there has not been a consolidation of relevant concepts and application framing in energy and environmental life cycle assessment and decision-making practices. Our study aims to help fill this gap by consolidating existing knowledge on relevant equity applications, providing examples of sociodemographic data needs, and presenting a path toward a more holistic equity administration. In this critique, we present a framework for integrating equity in energy and environmental research and practitioner settings, which we call systemic equity. Systemic equity requires the simultaneous and effective administration of resources (i.e., distributive equity), policies (i.e., procedural equity), and addressing the cultural needs of the systematically marginalized (i.e., recognitional equity). To help provide common language and shared understanding for when equity is ineffectively administered, we present ostensible equity (i.e., when resource and policy needs are met, but cultural needs are inadequately met), aspirational equity (i.e., when policy and cultural needs are met, but resources are inadequate), and exploitational equity (i.e., when resource and cultural needs are met, but policies are inadequate). We close by establishing an adaptive 10-step process for developing standard sociodemographic data practices. The systemic equity framework and 10-step process are translatable to other practitioner and research communities. Nonetheless, energy and environmental scientists, in collaboration with transdisciplinary stakeholders, should administer this framework and process urgently.
