In 2018, the LSU AgCenter entered into a 5-year cooperative agreement with theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to address the nutrition andphysical activity environments in six rural Louisiana parishes with some of thehighest obesity rates in the state (Assumption, St. Helena, Tensas, Madison,Morehouse, and East Carroll). Through the LSU AgCenter's Cooperative ExtensionHealthy Communities initiative, multi-level, community-driven approaches areutilized to identify and implement Policy, Systems, and Environmental (PSE) changestrategies, with the goal of promoting healthy behaviors among residents andimproving obesity rates and quality of life.Healthy communities are places where people come together to make theircommunities better for everyone through collaboration, community ownership,inclusive approaches, and a long-term, positive commitment to healthy lifestyles.The mission of St. Helena Parish Healthy Communities is to educate, empower, andmotivate the parish by providing opportunitiesto develop a more accessible and healthierlifestyle. Goals of St. Helena HealthyCommunities include promoting healthfuleating and physical activity and providingaccess to healthful foods and recreationalfacilities.The following pages detail the strong networkof resources, stakeholders, and communityassets within St. Helena Parish.

LSU AgCenter Healthy CommunitiesFood SystemsAssessmentAssessment ObjectiveTo assess the current food system needs in six rural parishes (Assumption, Tensas,St. Helena, Madison, East Carroll, and Morehouse) supported by the LSU AgCenter'sHealthy Communities initiative.Key FindingsAll six parishes had an abundance of community assets related to the foodsystem. More than one hundred food access points were identified across all sixparishes as having the potential to expand or improve their offerings of healthierfoods.A strong network of community growers and producers was identified in all sixparishes.Food distribution sites (food pantries, commodity distribution sites, and preparedmeal sites) were found to have a high need for equipment and supplies tofacilitate procurement and stocking of healthier foods. In addition, a need forprocuring more healthy foods was identified for food distribution sites.Local grocery stores had the strongest food environment in terms of availablehealthy foods. Dollar stores were considered an important food access point forresidents but scored relatively low compared to groceries in terms of availablehealthy foods. Residents did not view corner/convenience stores as a viableoption for purchasing food, especially when using SNAP.Residents often shop for food outside their parish due to poor qualityand high prices in their parish, however, five of the six parishesexperience higher rates of homes with no vehicle ownership thanthe state average. Only three of the six parishes were found to haveon-demand public transit.www.lsuagcenter.com/healthycommunities healthycommunities@agcenter.lsu.edu
RecommendationsEnhance capacity of food distribution sites to enable procurement andstorage of healthier items such as fresh produce, lean meats, and low-fatdairy.Connect food pantries with local producers identified in each parish.Introduce policies to ensure the sustainability of partnerships.Implement client choice models and/or nutrition standards at fooddistribution sites to improve access to and sustainability of healthful foods.Expand SNAP acceptance at local food outlets already selling fresh fruitsand vegetables, such as farmer's markets and produce stands.Target local grocery stores for healthy retail initiatives focused onconnecting local producers to food retailers and making the healthy choicethe easy choice for customers.Increase ridership and awareness of available on-demand transportationservices to improve community-wide access to available healthy foods.Establish local and/or regional food policy councils to connect key foodsystem stakeholders and ensure the sustainability of access to healthyfoods in the community.ResourcesClient-Choice Food Pantry Guide:https://bit.ly/ClientChoicePantryGuideHow to Accept SNAP Benefits atFarmers Markets: A Guide for Vendors:https://bit.ly/SNAPatFarmersMarketsFarmers Market Vendor g StartedConnect with LSU AgCenter HealthyCommunities to learn more about howwe're working to improve the foodsystem in rural Louisiana m/LSUAgCenterHCThis material was made possible with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
