ďś Collapsing rural communities
ďś Inability to provide future generations with fresh air, water, and
food

doubled!
11. Food Systems Supporting Health
Availability of affordable, culturally appropriate
healthy foods in neighborhoods should include:
â retail access
â school meals and snacks
â healthy worksite cafeterias
â community-based food production
â public hunting, gathering, fishing rights
â home gardens
12. Student project example:
Loko I`a (fishponds) -- restoring indigenous
food systems
â Historical Loko I`a:
â An inventory in the early 1900s found 360 loko
iâa in the islands and identified 99 active ponds
with an estimated annual production total of
about 680,000 lbs
â Loko iâa produced an average of 400â600
lbs/acre/year (Keala 2007).

15. Survey of Oahu Loko I`a
â What foods are they producing now?
â Fish: Moi, Tilapia, Amaama, Paalu, Papio,
Baraacuda, Toau
â Seaweed: Gorilla Ogo
â Fruits: bananas
â Vegetables: Kale, Amaranth, Chili Pepper,
Eggplant, Collard Greens, Swiss Chard
â Shellfish: Samoan Crab
16. Survey of Oahu Loko I`a
â Community Activities Conducted:
â Growing traditional food (100%)
â Hunting, fishing, gathering traditional food
(100%)
â Cooking traditional food (100%)
17. Discussion 1
â What are five components of the food
system?
â How does the history of Hawaii effect what
we eat?
â What are some challenges to people eating
traditional Hawaiian foods now?
18. Chronic Disease Health Disparities

determinants. Honolulu: Hawaii State Department of Health, Chronic Disease Management and Control Branch.
19. Public Health Implications of
Obesity
â Underweight and obesity status were both associated with
excess deaths when compared to normal weight, overweight
was not.
â Obesity contributes to cardiovascular disease, Type II
diabetes, osteoarthritis, and some cancers.
â In the United States, 1 in 3 adults are obese.
â Global adult obesity prevalence nearly doubled from 4.8% to 9.8%
for men and 7.9% to 13.8% for women in the span of 1980 to 2008.
â Among preschool aged children (up to the age of 5 years), global
OWOB prevalence increased from 4.2% in 1990 to 6.7% in 2010.
â As country income increases obesity prevalence increases,
however among developed countries low-income sub-
populations have greater obesity risks.
20. Global disparities:
â Oceania countries have the highest country-level rates, while
American women had the highest group prevalence.
â For ages 2-8y in Hawaii, Alaska, and the US-AP OWOB is (~7%)
higher than the global estimate and that prevalence increased with age,
from 21% at age 2 years to 29% at age 8 years.
21. Social disparities:
Higher obesity prevalence seen
among:
⢠Low SES neighborhoods
⢠Black, Hispanic,
and Pacific Islanders
⢠Females
Childhood obesity disparities in Hawaii

25. Food Security
â âFood security exists when all people, at all
times, have physical and economic access to
sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their
dietary needs and food preferences for an active
and healthy life. The four pillars of food
security are availability, stability of supply,
access and utilization.â
-United Nations, World Food Security, Plan of
Action statement
26. Principles of Food Justice
â Food Security, personal diet choices and
community health are influenced by our social-
ecological context
â The food that we consume is one aspect of the Food
System
â Health inequalities = Disparities in health that are a
result of systemic, avoidable and unjust social and
economic policies and practices that create barriers
to opportunity (Healthy People 2020)
27. Importance of Affordability
â Energy-dense grains, fats, and sweets
represent the lowest-cost dietary options to the
consumer.
â Good taste, high convenience, and the low
cost of energy-dense foods + portions and
low satiation, may be the principal reasons for
overeating and weight gain.
â Financial disparities in access to healthier
diets may help explain why the highest rates
of obesity and diabetes are found among
minorities and the working poor.
â If so, then encouraging low-income
households to consume more costly foods is
not an effective strategy for public health.

Over the last century, we have radically altered the way we produce and distribute food. This transformation of our food and agricultural system has fundamentally affected the health of our planet and its inhabitants around the world.
Here is Hawaii, we have to realize that we went from a time in Hawaii, pre-Western contact, in which 400,000-1 mill Native Hawaiians, or kanaka maoli, grew enough food to live long healthy livesâŚ.to today.
This doesnât suggest that we go back to life without fridges, or that we forget the damage of past famines, the days when people died from vitamin deficiencies like iron (anemia), iodine (goiter), vitamin C (scurvy) and progress on those fronts.
