Abstract
ABSTRACTFruit and vegetable (FV) consumption has been linked to positive health outcomes. States and municipalities have encouraged participation in the local food system to foster public health and other community benefits. This study examines determinants of fruit and vegetable intake in Vermont through the use of a representative statewide poll. Ordered logit regression models examined the drivers of FV consumption. Buying direct from farmers and perceived impacts on health and the environment significantly increase reported FV consumption likelihood across all participants. Implications focus on messages around the environmental benefits of FV consumption and efforts to increase local food accessibility.
