Nutritional Quality of Food Purchases Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Pilot Study to Assess How Access to a Community Garden Could Help Instigate the Adoption of Healthier Food Purchase Patterns in Deprived Neighborhood (Marseille, France)
The pilot study aims to investigate the place of fresh garden produce in the food supply and food practices of women in community gardens of deprived neighborhoods of Marseille, reputed to be among the poorest in the European Union. We hypothesized that access to a community garden in these neighborhoods could help instigate the adoption of healthier food patterns by gardeners and their households, and in particular, increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables.
Urban community gardening was explored in terms of (i) food production, (ii) nutrition and economics, and (iii) cultural, social, and symbolic dimensions, by social and nutritional science approaches, involving informative questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and a nutritional and economic analysis of household food supplies. ;
