This article explores how North Carolina State University conducted asset-mapping workshops, a community-based participatory research (CBPR) method, to mobilize the campus community and identify solutions to address the root causes of food insecurity and other forms of basic needs insecurity among students. Workshop participants identified exemplary resources focused on addressing students’ immediate needs (e.g., campus food pantries, a student emergency fund). At the same time, they stated that basic needs insecurity is tied to longer-term, systemic issues like wage inequality and a lack of affordable housing. Participants also noted that historically marginalized students (e.g., LGBTQ+, low-income, first-generation college) often experience food and housing insecurity in complex ways requiring targeted solutions. Our results suggest that CBPR methods like asset mapping offer an approach that, when done well, can center the voices and experiences of diverse campus populations to identify and address the complex structural and systemic processes that shape students’ experiences of food and housing insecurity.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, publisher={Lyson Center for Civic Agriculture and Food Systems}, author={Shisler, Rebecca and Cordero Oceguera, Emilia and Hardison-Moody, Annie and Bowen, Sarah}, year={2023}, month={Mar}, pages={135–153} } @article{bowen_hardison-moody_oceguera_elliott_2023, title={Beyond Dietary Acculturation: How Latina Immigrants Navigate Exclusionary Systems to Feed Their Families}, volume={6}, ISSN={["1533-8533"]}, DOI={10.1093/socpro/spad013}, abstractNote={Abstract Previous studies of dietary acculturation explain how immigrants’ diets change over time, but they don't tell us why. In response to calls for additional research on the complex social processes that shape health disparities, this study uses an intersectional approach to examine the role of food in the daily lives of 23 Latina immigrants living in North Carolina. Our findings, based on semi-structured interviews conducted over a five-year period, refute the idea of a unidirectional process in which immigrants abandon dietary customs from their home countries. Instead, we show how food decisions are complex, contradictory, and contextual. Latina immigrant mothers embraced and resisted parts of dominant food cultures. They strategically took risks and made tradeoffs to ensure that their families had enough food and the right kinds of food. However, political and economic structures limited their access to food and impeded their ability to autonomously make food decisions. We argue that an unequal and industrialized food system, restrictive and punitive immigration policies, and narrowly-defined food assistance programs infringe on immigrants’ ability to feed their families. By excluding and othering immigrant families, these structures reduce immigrants’ autonomy and perpetuate inequalities, contributing to what previous studies have described as dietary acculturation.}, journal={Social Problems}, author={Bowen, Sarah and Hardison-Moody, Annie and Oceguera, Emilia Cordero and Elliott, Sinikka}, year={2023}, pages={spad013} } @article{bowen_hardison-moody_2023, title={Improving Unequal Food Access Requires Understanding and Addressing the Social Inequalities That Contribute to It}, volume={113}, ISSN={0090-0036 1541-0048}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.2105/ajph.2023.307243}, DOI={10.2105/ajph.2023.307243}, abstractNote={AffiliationsSarah Bowen is with the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh.

The challenges they faced were filtered through their practices as mothers; for example, they had little time and energy to be active because of the demands of daily childrearing and household labor. In addition, their strategies around leisure-time physical activity were tied to ideas of good mothering; for example, they sought opportunities that were free or low-cost for the entire family.

The increase was both unparalleled and disproportionately experienced by low-income, Black, Latino/a/x, and immigrant households (Lauren et al., 2021; Morales et al., 2020; Nagata et al., 2021; Wolfson & Leung, 2020). Even before the pandemic, rates of food insecurity in the United States were unusually high compared to other industrialized countries. Although parents try to shield their children from food insecurity (Elliott & Bowen, 2018; Olson, 2005; Stevens, 2010), research shows that children in food-insecure households are aware of food shortages (Fram et al., 2011) and experience a host of negative effects, including poorer general and oral health, poorer academic performance, behavioral and cognitive problems, and depression, aggression, and anxiety (Gundersen & Ziliak, 2014, 2018; Jyoti et al., 2005; Whitaker et al., 2006). The pandemic has revealed both the inadequacy and the potential of the U.S. welfare system. The United States Department of Agriculture’s comprehensive report on food insecurity in U.S. households throughout 2020, released in September 2021, estimates that surprisingly, the overall prevalence of food insecurity did not increase from 2019 (before the pandemic) to 2020, even though households spent more on food during the pandemic (Coleman-Jensen et al., 2021). Early research suggests that boosts to federal food assistance programs and other pandemic responses (such as the Federal supplement to unemployment and the eviction moratorium) may have made the difference. However, rates of food insecurity rose among specific groups, and the USDA concludes that more research is needed to understand the dynamics of food insecurity and other food hardships in U.S. households during the pandemic (Ibid.). Before the pandemic, participant levels for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program (SNAP, also known as food stamps) were near historic highs. After cash benefits were severely cut by the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (Collins & Mayer, 2010; Hays, 2003), Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program has become a more central part of the safety net, and families who do not receive SNAP face greater risks (Parolin & Brady, 2019). In general, public benefits are increasingly complicated or cumbersome to get and keep (Herd & Moynihan, 2018), and critics argue that SNAP is overly burdensome, provides inadequate support, and fails to reach all of the people who need it (Dickinson, 2020; Mulik & Haynes-Maslow, 2017). Dickinson (2020) argues that SNAP incentivizes low-wage work for poor families by making it possible for them to survive (but not get ahead) in jobs that pay below subsistence wages. The tragedy of the pandemic presents an important case study not only because of the rise in food insecurity, but also because of the unprecedented governmental response. Specifically, policies implemented in the early months of the pandemic removed many of the administrative burdens (see Herd & Moynihan, 2018) associated with receiving governmental assistance, provided direct cash payments to most families, and created more generous unemployment and food assistance benefits.

What explains the lack of progress in addressing food insecurity? This article maps out an overview of the experiences, causes, and consequences of food insecurity in the United States. We demonstrate that racism is a fundamental cause of food insecurity, both because racism contributes to racial disparities in income and wealth, and because racism is linked to food insecurity independent of poverty and socioeconomic status. For example, people of color are more likely to experience racial discrimination, which is associated with food insecurity, and to live in states where stricter regulations and harsher punishments are tied to social assistance programs, including food assistance programs. Because racism is a fundamental cause of food insecurity, eliminating it requires going beyond “just” eliminating poverty.

To develop and test the Four Domain Food Insecurity Scale (4D-FIS), a complementary measure designed to assess all four domains of the food access dimension of food insecurity (quantitative, qualitative, psychological, and social).Low-income Black, Latina, and White women (n = 109) completed semi-structured (qualitative) and structured (quantitative) interviews. Interviewers separately administered two food insecurity scales, including the 4D-FIS and the USDA FSSM adult scale. A scoring protocol was developed to determine food insecurity status with the 4D-FIS. Analyses included a confirmatory factor analysis to examine the hypothesized structure of the 4D-FIS and an initial evaluation of reliability and validity. A four-factor model fit the data reasonably well as judged with fit indices. Results showed relatively high factor loadings and inter-factor correlations indicated that factors were distinct. Cronbach’s alpha (ɑ) for the overall scale was 0.90 (subscale ɑ ranged from 0.69 to 0.91) and provided support for the scale’s internal consistency reliability. There was fair overall agreement between the 4D-FIS and USDA FSSM adult scale, but agreement varied by category.

Yet few studies examine how producers of terroir products perceive and experience environmental change. Our comparative case study addresses this gap, as we examine ways that changing ecological conditions will influence the emergent terroir of Wisconsin artisanal cheese and New England oysters. Drawing on in-depth interviews and a survey, we describe the environmental and sociocultural elements that Wisconsin artisanal cheesemakers and New England oyster farmers identify as characteristic of the terroir and merroir (terroir’s maritime adaptation) of their products. We then compare cheesemakers’ and oyster farmers’ perceptions and experiences of climate change. We find that both groups perceive climate-related threats to the terroir and merroir of their products, though each group experienced these threats differently. We argue that the ongoing constitution of terroir—which has always reflected a tension between nature and culture—will be further complicated by changing ecologies. We suggest that a generative understanding of terroir that emphasizes terroir’s sociocultural dimensions may help artisanal cheesemakers and oyster farmers mitigate some climate-related threats to their products.}, number={10}, journal={SUSTAINABILITY}, author={De Master, Kathryn Teigen and LaChance, James and Bowen, Sarah and MacNell, Lillian}, year={2019}, month={May} } @misc{bowen_elliott_brenton_2019, title={Why Ditching Processed Foods Won’t Be Easy—Barriers to Cooking from Scratch}, url={https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2019/05/24/725470305/opinion-why-ditching-processed-foods-wont-be-easy-the-barriers-to-cooking-from-s}, journal={National Public Radio’s The Salt}, author={Bowen, Sarah and Elliott, Sinikka and Brenton, Joslyn}, year={2019}, month={May} } @article{elliott_bowen_2018, title={Defending Motherhood: Morality, Responsibility, and Double Binds in Feeding Children}, volume={80}, ISSN={["1741-3737"]}, DOI={10.1111/jomf.12465}, abstractNote={The ideology of intensive mothering sets a high bar and is framed against the specter of the “bad” mother.

Women reported several factors influencing infant feeding: interactions with medical providers, work environments, shared living spaces and family supports, and concerns about supply and production.This research highlights the complex interplay of economic and social barriers that shape how and what low-income women feed their infants. The study contributes to a better understanding of the social, cultural, and economic constraints faced by women in poverty.

Objective This review sought to comprehensively evaluate how food insecurity relates to a full range of dietary outcomes (food groups, total energy, macronutrients, micronutrients, and overall dietary quality) among adult women living in Canada and the United States. Data sources Peer-reviewed databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science) and gray literature sources from 1995 to 2016 were searched. Data extraction Observational studies were used to calculate a percentage difference in dietary intake for food-insecure and food-secure groups. Results Of the 24 included studies, the majority found food-insecure women had lower food group frequencies (dairy, total fruits and vegetables, total grains, and meats/meat alternatives) and intakes of macro- and micronutrients relative to food-secure women. Methodological quality varied. Among high-quality studies, food insecurity was negatively associated with dairy, fruits and vegetables, grains, meats/meats alternatives, protein, total fat, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamins A and C, and folate.

The women we spoke with talked about their motivations for choosing stores, as well as their experiences dealing with poor food access and an unequal distribution of food stores. We found that women cited price as the strongest motivator for choosing a store but found that a lack of transportation and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation also had significant effects on shopping behaviors.

Little is known about shared use in faith-based settings. This study examined shared use practices and barriers in faith communities in North Carolina. Methods Faith communities in North Carolina (n = 234) completed an online survey (October–December 2013) designed to provide information about the extent and nature of shared use of recreational facilities. We used binary logistic regression to examine differences between congregations that shared use and those that did not share use. Results Most of the faith communities (82.9%) that completed the survey indicated that they share their facilities with outside individuals and organizations. Formal agreements were more common when faith communities shared indoor spaces such as gymnasiums and classroom meeting spaces than when they shared outdoor spaces such as playgrounds or athletic fields. Faith communities in the wealthiest counties were more likely to share their spaces than were faith communities in poorer counties. Faith communities in counties with the best health rankings were more likely to share facilities than faith communities in counties that had lower health rankings. The most frequently cited reasons faith communities did not share their facilities were that they did not know how to initiate the process of sharing their facilities or that no outside groups had ever asked. Conclusion Most faith communities shared their facilities for physical activity. Research is needed on the relationship between shared use and physical activity levels, including the effect of formalizing shared-use policies.}, number={E11}, journal={Preventing Chronic Disease}, author={Hardison-Moody, A. and Edwards, M.B. and Bocarro, J.N. and Stein, A. and Kanters, M.A. and Sherman, D. and Rhew, L.K. and Stallings, W.M. and Bowen, S.K.}, year={2017} } @article{bowen_2016, title={Edible Memory: The Lure of Heirloom Tomatoes and Other Forgotten Foods}, volume={121}, ISSN={["1537-5390"]}, DOI={10.1086/686169}, abstractNote={Previous articleNext article No AccessBook ReviewEdible Memory: The Lure of Heirloom Tomatoes and Other Forgotten Foods.

We develop the concept of temporal dispositions: perceptions and preferences around time that in turn shape temporal practices. The concept of temporal dispositions encapsulates individuals’ background and training, agency and reflexivity, and the dynamic nature of ongoing social life and interactions through which temporal meanings may change or take on new symbolic weight. Overlaid upon each of these are larger social structures and power relations that affirm some temporal dispositions and stigmatize others. We conclude by considering the implications for ethnographic fieldworkers. We argue that analyzing the many ways researchers and participants navigate and perceive time offers insight into unspoken temporal assumptions, ideologies, and inequalities. }, number={4}, journal={ETHNOGRAPHY}, author={Elliott, Sinikka and McKelvy, Josephine Ngo and Bowen, Sarah}, year={2017}, month={Dec}, pages={556–576} } @article{bowen_elliott_alford_herrera_2016, title={Using Community-Led Mini-Grant Projects to Increase Access to Healthy, Affordable Food and Places to be Active}, volume={48}, ISSN={1499-4046}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/J.JNEB.2016.04.331}, DOI={10.1016/J.JNEB.2016.04.331}, abstractNote={ObjectiveVoices into Action: The Families, Food, and Health Project is a five-year, USDA-funded research and outreach project based out of North Carolina State University, North Carolina State University, A&T State University, and NC Cooperative Extension.

As people have yearned to connect with the people and places that produce their food, the concept of terroir—the taste of place—has become increasingly salient. Tequila and mezcal are both protected by denominations of origin (DOs), legal designations based on the notion of terroir. The DOs link production to particular regions, while quality standards guarantee each product’s safety and authenticity. Advocates argue that the DOs and the standards ensure the reputation of Mexico’s national spirits, expand market opportunities, and protect Mexico’s cultural heritage. But the institutions that regulate tequila and mezcal ultimately protect the interests of a small group of powerful global elites more than anyone else. The growing global demand for tequila and mezcal has led to fame and fortune for a handful of people, while excluding and marginalizing many others. The cases analyzed in this book illustrate the limitations of relying on alternative markets to protect food cultures and rural livelihoods. Because arguments about how to define and regulate tequila and mezcal have been conducted within the parameters of the global marketplace, they have privileged consumers while largely ignoring the perspectives of producers, farmers, workers, and communities. There is a need to move beyond market-based models to create more democratic, participatory, and inclusive ways of protecting and valuing local foods and drinks, as well as the people who make them.}, publisher={Oakland, California: University of California Press}, author={Bowen, Sarah}, year={2015} } @article{jakes_hardison-moody_bowen_blevins_2015, title={Engaging community change: the critical role of values in asset mapping}, volume={46}, ISSN={1557-5330 1944-7485}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15575330.2015.1064146}, DOI={10.1080/15575330.2015.1064146}, abstractNote={Asset mapping has emerged as a promising tool for mobilizing and sustaining positive changes related to community health and wellbeing.

In this paper, we investigate how a specific adaption of national identity, one that underscores the values of cultural integrity, is used to naturalize neoliberal shifts in the tequila industry. Tequila has long circulated in the images and myths of Mexican identity. However, in the last two decades, the Mexican government has increasingly relied on tequila's reputation as the nation's ‘spirit’ to obscure changes in tequila regulatory policies that are linked to broader neoliberal changes in Mexico. Extralocal actors—in particular, multinational companies—have more influence over the direction the industry is taking and the institutions that regulate it, while tequila production is increasingly untethered from the communities and traditions that make it distinct. Here, we examine how private and public actors mobilize the language of authenticity, place, and quality to justify the adoption of neoliberal measures in the tequila industry. }, number={2}, journal={ENVIRONMENT AND PLANNING A-ECONOMY AND SPACE}, author={Gaytan, Marie Sarita and Bowen, Sarah}, year={2015}, pages={267–283} } @article{bowen_bowen_barman-adhikari_2016, title={Prevalence and covariates of food insecurity among residents of single-room occupancy housing in Chicago, IL, USA}, volume={19}, ISSN={["1475-2727"]}, DOI={10.1017/s1368980015002384}, abstractNote={AbstractObjectiveEmerging evidence suggests that food insecurity is a significant public health concern among people who are homeless or marginally housed.
