    Cooperative Extension’s Capacity to Address Food Insecurity by Supporting Food Recovery Organizations
    Schonberger, H. Lester; Yang, Lily; Chase, Melissa W.; Drape, Tiffany A.; Misyak, Sarah A.; Boyer, Renee R. (Clemson University, 2022-06-01)
    Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) educators are uniquely positioned to support the food recovery organizations (FROs) which address hunger-related needs resulting from food insecurity. Based on an online survey to measure how VCE educators have engaged with FROs and their experiences, respondents who previously supported FROs did so across multiple programming areas, and those who had not indicated an interest while also experiencing barriers. Respondents also reported the need for context and audience-specific resources particular to the spectrum of food recovery. Addressing barriers and resource needs through a transdisciplinary eXtension Food Recovery Community of Practice may support educators in doing this work.

    Model of Community, Local, and Regional Food Systems Extension Programming
    Niewolny, Kimberly L.; Bendfeldt, Eric S.; Latimer, Joyce G.; MacAuley, Lorien E. (Clemson University Press, 2022-12-19)
    Community, local, and regional food systems (CLRFS) programming reflects important issues and priorities that intersect with Extension and the sustainability of our food system. CLRFS programming in Extension, however, is still developing slowly while food movements grow nationally. This article describes a CLRFS model and complementary process for conducting listening sessions with Extension professionals and community leaders to develop and enhance CLRFS programming to address critical food system needs. A recommendation for Cooperative Extension is that such a tool may aid CLRFS program potential as an integrated “food, farm, and health” approach for community-level application.
