Implement Policies that Promote Production and Consumption of Local Foods

Background The WHO STEPS report indicate that Pacific Islanders are eating more imported foods and less locally grown fresh foods that are rich in nutrients and low in fats, sugars, and salt.

Fact Obesity rates in the Pacific are among the highest in the world: 75% in American Samoa, 45% in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and 43% in the Federated States of Micronesia, compared to the U.S. with 33%.

Did you know? Diabetes prevalence among adults in the Pacific region is among the highest in the world; 47% in American Samoa compared with 13% in mainland USA, and it ranges from 14% to 44% elsewhere in the region.

Did you know? Affordable food is a significant issue for Pacific Islanders. Healthier food options are often more expensive than those with high concentrations of fat and sugar.

Did you know? Purchasing imported food is taking up an increasingly large part of family incomes. The Food and Agriculture Organization index of food prices rose by 9% in 2006, by 24% in 2007 and by 51% in the first months of 2008.

Fact Eating local means more for the local economy. According to a study by the New Economics Foundation in London, a dollar spent locally generates twice as much income for the local economy. When businesses are not owned locally, money leaves the community at every transaction.

Fact Locally grown produce is fresher. While produce that is purchased in the supermarket or a big-box store has been in transit or cold-stored for days or weeks, produce that you purchase at your local farmer’s market has often been picked within 24 hours of your purchase. This freshness not only affects the taste of your food, but the nutritional value which declines with time.

What is Food Policy? A food policy consists of the rules and regulations that govern how food is produced and distributed. These are generally run by a Food Policy Council, whose primary goal is to cultivate a stronger and more sustainable local food system in order to bring benefits to residents of a region.

Local Food Policy Examples In New Mexico, the legislature is requiring the purchasing division of the general services department to set a procurement requirement for a minimum percentage of the total dollar amount of food purchased by state agencies and local public bodies to be produced in New Mexico  content/uploads/2013/02/Local-Food- procurement-SB pdf content/uploads/2013/02/Local-Food- procurement-SB pdf

Local Food Policy Examples Federated States of Micronesia Personal and Family level: – Personal commitment i.e. Stop eating rice Community level: – Local foods would only be served at events and meetings – Communities banned soft drinks at events Government level: – Karat proclaimed the Pohnpei State Banana – Banning all imported foods from the Department of Health and Social Affairs offices

Local Food Policy Examples In California, bills were enacted to promote instructional school gardens: – Assembly Bill 1014, Instructional School Gardens (1999) – establishes the instructional school garden program. – Senate Bill 19, The Pupil Health, Nutrition, and Achievement Act (2001) – identifies school gardens as one way to increase student preferences for fresh fruits and vegetables.

Implement policies that promote the production and consumption of local foods An American Samoa Example Target Population: All Department of Health employees Summary: American Samoa Department of Health (DOH) Employee Wellness Policy #13-01  October 2013: DOH implemented a policy for all DOH employees relating to proper nutrition, physical activity and tobacco smoking  Increased Access to Healthier Foods: prohibits DOH and its contracted food services from serving unhealthy foods  All DOH internal meetings, conferences, community meetings sponsored and funded by DOH must serve healthy and local options of food and drinks; no red meat, soda products and artificially flavored drinks are to be served
