• W132376455 abstract "Editorial overview C Peter Bennett alifornia is home to a $37 billion agricultural industry, and some of the best public and private universities in the world — yet we are facing a crisis in the health and education of our young people. The challenges include high childhood obesity, rising school dropout rates, and low stu- dent achievement, especially in the sciences. These challenges are persistent, costing the golden state billions of dollars annually, putting future genera- tions at risk and threatening our long-term viability in the global economy. For example, California’s economic costs of overweight, obesity and physical inactivity are the highest in the nation at more than $41 billion per year, according to a 2009 study by the nonprofit California Center for Public Health Advocacy. More than one-third of California school children are overweight or obese, increasing their risk of serious chronic conditions, such as type-2 diabetes and heart disease (ac- cording to the Centers for Disease Control). This problem is even more pronounced among the poorest children and ethnic minorities. We also are grappling with a severe deficit in science lit- eracy, with our students routinely scoring below their peers Students water plants in the vertical garden at the Downtown Value School, a charter school in downtown Los Angeles. These pockets are produced by Woolly Pocket Corporation in Los Angeles, and are one part of their school garden program. internationally. Nationwide, our state ranked 47th in sci- ence on the 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress. This bodes ill, not just for those aspiring to science careers, but for all students in today’s knowledge-centered Delaine Eastin society. California Superintendent of The crisis is compounded as Public Instruction 1995 to 2003 we see that youngsters from high- income families outperform those from low-income, even as poverty in California is rising at one of the fastest rates in our nation. Recent U.S. Census Bureau figures indicate nearly one in four California children now live in poverty. And we see white children outperforming African American and Latino chil- dren, as well as boys outperforming girls. Yet as the most populous and diverse state in the union, with bountiful agriculture and a first-rank higher educa- tion system, California can bring unique resources to bear upon these problems. UC Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) has embarked upon a 5-year program to promote healthy lifestyles, science literacy and positive youth devel- opment in an intertwined effort. The Healthy Families and Communities Strategic Initiative addresses all three goals, through projects that integrate research within communities and schools, with the goal of obtaining science-based infor- mation about what works best for children. For instance, research tells us that hunger is related to both low academic achievement and obesity. We also know that given better food choices such as fresh fruit, children will dramatically increase healthy choices (see page 21). By helping schools to offer more nutritious meals — with more fresh fruits and vegetables — while addressing other dietary changes and increasing physical activity, research under this initiative seeks to improve children’s health status (see page 13). In the Shaping Healthy Choices Program (see page 30), researchers launch a comprehensive, controlled community study that includes instructional gardens linked with science and nutrition education, improved diet and exercise. As part of their effort, they will help develop school infrastructure to sustain the program beyond the 5-year funding period. ANR’s strategic effort could not come at a more critical time. The questions before us are: • Can a multifaceted, integrated school and community pro- gram, which targets culturally diverse children, promote healthy diets and physical activity? • Can it promote science literacy, including nutrition under- standing, in formal and informal settings? • Can we use such programs to promote regional, sustain- able agriculture? http://californiaagriculture.ucanr.edu • January–MArch 2013 3 Karin Higgins UC addresses needs of California youth" @default.
