Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this report, we apply an asset-based approach using the Community Capitals Framework to examine factors that support nutrition security in rural communities, using rural northern New England as a case study. The research is based on focus groups and interviews with 32 food and nutrition professionals in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont in 2023 and 2024. The participants described community assets in all dimensions of the Community Capitals Framework except built capital indicating that rural communities in northern New England have and use diverse resources to support nutrition security.
