Title: Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Agriculture: Evaluating the Influence of Floral Resource Provisioning on Biological Control of Erythroneura Leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and Planococcus Mealybug (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in California Vineyards

Summary: The research tested the natural enemies hypothesis in an attempt to explain why lower pest densities are observed in some diversified farming systems. The research evaluated the influence of floral resource provisioning (FRP) and chemical ecology strategies on biological control of Erythroneura leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and Planococcus mealybug (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in California vineyards. Field and laboratory studies quantified the impacts on crop damage, pest and natural enemy abundance, and natural enemies fitness theorized to be enhanced through floral resource provisioning in agroecosystems. Multiple two-year studies measured the impact of intercropping three flowering ground covers, lacy phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia), bishop's weed (Ammi majus), and common carrot (Daucus carota) on biological control of leafhoppers and vine mealybug by the parasitoids Anagrus spp. (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) and Anagyrus pseudococci (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae). Using identical intercropping treatments, the research included three large scale and fully replicated research designs located in the central San Joaquin, the northern San Joaquin, and the Napa Valley of California. Laboratory studies quantified the impacts of FRP on the fitness of Anagyrus pseudococci, a key parasitoid natural enemy of vine mealybug. The central San Joaquin Valley field study measured the impact of FRP and pheromone based mating disruption on biological control of vine mealybug. The northern San Joaquin Valley field study measured the impact of FRP and methyl salicylate on biological control of Erythroneura leafhoppers. The Napa Valley field study measured the effect of methyl salicylate alone on biological control of Erythroneura leafhoppers.

As a cultural anthropologist, Rachael Budowle's research program sits at the intersection of environment and society. She focuses on a range of social-ecological community resilience, sustainability, and justice and equity issues including: (1) food systems, security, justice, and sovereignty; (2) local sustainability transformations and community-based climate action; and (3) community engagement around emerging and potential energy sources and siting. Rachael is particularly interested in community-based participatory, ethnographic, and narrative approaches, primarily through transdisciplinary and collaborative projects that often engage student co-researchers. She is lead principal investigator for a three-year Department of Energy-funded project, Engaging Wyoming Communities in an Environmental Justice Approach for Advanced Nuclear Energy Facility Siting.

Rachael earned her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Wyoming, M.S. in Animals & Public Policy from Tufts University, and B.S. in Psychology from Virginia Tech-where she completed the then Honors Program. She has extensive experience teaching interdisciplinary environmental studies, sustainability, and community-engaged and place- and project-based courses. Her years of practitioner experience, including as a sustainability coordinator at Virginia Tech and MIT, enrich her teaching and scholarship.

Associate Professor

Overview

Jamila Michener is an Associate professor in the department of Government. Her research focuses on poverty, racial inequality and public policy in the United States. Her recent book, Fragmented Democracy: Medicaid, Federalism and Unequal Politics (Cambridge University Press) examines how Medicaid--the nation's public health insurance program for people with low income--affects democratic citizenship. Unpacking how federalism transforms Medicaid beneficiaries' interpretations of government and structures their participation in politics, Fragmented Democracy assesses American political life from the vantage point(s) of those who are living in or near poverty, (disproportionately) Black or Latino, and reliant on a federated government for vital resources.

Michener's research has been supported by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Ford Foundation. She received her MA and PhD from the University of Chicago and her undergraduate degree from Princeton University. Prior to working at Cornell, she was a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Scholar at the University of Michigan.

Research Focus

Jamila Michener studies American politics and policy, with a particular focus on the political causes and consequences of poverty and racial inequality. Her work explores the conditions under which economically and racially disadvantaged groups engage in the political process, the effects of that engagement, and the role of the state in shaping the political and economic trajectories of marginalized communities.

From Our Founder

As a physician, I have provided primary care to patients at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital for more than a decade. During that time, I have encouraged most of my patients to eat more fruits and vegetables. But patients told me over and over that they want to eat fruits and vegetables-either to stay healthy or to help them manage their chronic disease-but that it is out of reach for them financially.

I founded Vouchers 4 Veggies - EatSF as the missing link for people, like my patients, who want to eat a healthier diet but cannot afford one. The vouchers we provide allow people to purchase fruits and vegetables at the grocery store where they regularly shop. It works for them because it fits easily into their routine. But there are other winners as well. The health care system saves money when people are healthier. Grocery stores, with faster produce turnover, re-stock produce more frequently and display greater variety. Other grocery customers from the neighborhood then have the opportunity to choose from bountiful displays of high-quality fruits and vegetables as well.

My goals for V4V are big, but the model is quite simple. V4V allows us to support economic activity in underserved neighborhoods and sustain the local food system by driving a supply of fruits and vegetables into food deserts, while at the same time reducing food insecurity and improving health.

Together from hunger to health,

Hilary Seligman, Vouchers 4 Veggies - EatSF Founder

Our story

While Tulsa has made tremendous progress in many areas, we continued to struggle with equality indicators that lead to urban resilience. Many economic and community factors, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to food shortages and highlighted the vulnerabilities within our overtaxed healthcare system.

In a presentation to the Tulsa Food Security Council in 2021, Dr. Kent Farish of Crossover Health Services shared that his diabetic patients-compliant with prescriptions and doc visits-were continuing to get worse! Dr. Farish presented research from the Geisinger Fresh Food Farmacy,a study that demonstrated how diabetics could reduce their A1c levels by 1-2% in a year or less through a combination of education and consumption of healthier foods. He concluded that this lack of access to education and fresh produce was a significant factor in his patient's ability to manage their own disease.

Dr. Farish, with the help of the Council, put together a subcommittee of potential community and funding partners to test this concept in North Tulsa. FreshRx founder Erin Martin was asked to join the committee and influenced the group to source local, regeneratively grown produce for the patients in the trial. Erin-a gerontologist whose background is in how nutritious food affects lifespan and chronic diseases-knew that lobbying for local, organic produce would not only increase the nutritious content of the food improving health outcomes, but also support the economy of North Tulsa.

The pilot program of FreshRx was launched in April of 2021, has tripled in size, and since gained national recognition for the innovative way we systemically address food and health.

Our program

We're a USDA funded non-profit food prescription program (PRx). PRxs are medical or preventive services that give healthy fruits and vegetables to patients with diet-related health conditions, who are food insecure, and/or face challenges in accessing nutritious foods.

In 2021, we started the first-of-its-kind PRx in the state of Oklahoma. We are proud to receive funding from private philanthropic organizations, private donors, and the federal government. Our federal funding comes from the USDA NIFA GusNIP programming. GusNIP supports projects that demonstrate the impact of PRxs on fruit and vegetable consumption, food insecurity and healthcare usage for vulnerable populations. To see our grant, and other nutritional program funded by GusNIP, visit the Nutritional Incentives Hub.

A central goal of both GusNip and FreshRx is to build health equity in North Tulsa. To do that, we work to address:

historical and contemporary injustices

obstacles to health and health care

reducing preventable health disparities (those differences in opportunities experienced by people disadvantaged by their social or economic status, location, or environment)

Health disparities for people living with diabetes in North Tulsa can be greatly reduced through nutritional interventions like FreshRx.

We're committed to giving nutrient dense, locally grown produce to people to help manage their diabetes and improve their overall health. Through person-centered care, education, and food as medicine, we give people more ways to stay healthy.

Patients

Our patients are people living with diabetes in North Tulsa. Most are African American, come from a census tract with a life expectancy of almost 6 years less than the rest of the city, and use SoonerCare or are dual eligible for Medicaid and Medicare. After graduation from FreshRx, on average, they're dropping their A1c levels by 2.2%, losing weight, and reducing their blood pressure by 13 points!

Farmers

Our farmers are small, sustainable, and local, who are bettering their growing techniques and expanding, while diversifying their crops. For every dollar we spend on local food producers, FreshRx puts $1.70 into the local economy through the purchase of supplies and labor. And we can ensure our patients get the best, most nutrient-dense fresh foods available.

Providers

Our providers doctors and other health care professionals working to increase health equity North Tulsa by giving their patients additional support and resources. We're helping to protect ERs, give greater clinical access to the region, and the estimated cost savings to the system as a whole is upwards of $24k per person for a 1-2% reduction in a patient's A1c level.

Our board

Because we provide medical interventions, we have a Medical Advisory Board. This group meets regularly and gives medical oversight to the FreshRx program model, including any medical testing, data, and evaluation.

We also work with an Internal Review Board (IRB) at Langston University to provide ethical oversight, help us maintain HIPAA compliance, and review patient documents.

We also contract with Oklahoma State University to act as our data partner, evaluating our pre- and post- survey data, to determine whether or not we are achieving our program goals (i.e. calculating if increased consumption of fresh produce by our patients does actually correlated to better health).

Our food

Food as medicine is the use of nutritious and wholesome foods to support and enhance our overall health and well-being. The food we consume not only serves as a source of energy, but also contains nutrients that can positively impact our bodies and promote healing.

Using food as medicine has the potential to prevent, manage, and even treat various health conditions. A good diet plays a crucial role in maintaining a balanced immune system, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, and supporting optimal bodily functions. By being intentional with what we eat, we can harness the healing power of food to improve health outcomes.

When we eat whole, unprocessed foods rich in essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals, these food work to reduce inflammatory and boost immunity promoting more wellness and resilience.

And the best part is that food as medicine recognizes the uniqueness of each person's specific dietary needs. It encourages people to explore different foods and customize what they eat in a way that works for them.

By making conscious choices about what we eat, we can proactively support our bodies' natural healing processes and achieve optimal health.
