Food Security and Health Eating Survey
Food insecurity is correlated with unhealthy eating and negative health implications, including chronic disease and obesity. Statistics in our Pivital Public Health Partnership counties indicate that a high percentage of families lack easy access to healthier food choices and education around nutrition and available resources. We highly value our community's input to better understand these challenges and tailor programs to fit community needs. By incorporating feedback from those directly affected, we can develop more successful and effective interventions that truly address the root causes of food insecurity and promote healthier eating habits.
A series of cross-sectional surveys were administered by Pivital Public Health Partnership in the following counties:
Chemung, Livingston, Ontario, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne and Yates. Trending data shows food security is steadily increasing since 2019 and continues to climb. Fruit and vegetable consumption is increasing, and healthy eating is on the rise, however, there is still a long way to go in ensuring that our communities have access to healthy and nutritious food.
