Can subsidized farm shares stop childhood obesity?
NCT ID NCT02770196
Summary
This study tested whether helping low-income families afford fresh produce from local farms, combined with cooking and nutrition education, could improve children's diets and help prevent obesity. Researchers enrolled 305 families with children aged 2-12 across four states. They compared families who received the subsidized farm share and education to those who did not, measuring changes in fruit and vegetable intake, snack habits, and body weight over several years.
