A new study shows that joining a local food co-op like Box Divvy can help people eat healthier and feel more confident about putting good food on the table.
The study was done by Western Sydney University and the University of Wollongong. It looked at how our friends at Box Divvy support families across Sydney.
Here’s what they found after talking to over 2,000 members:
- People were less likely to skip meals or buy less healthy food
- Fruit and vegetable intake went up, especially for people who were doing it tough
- On average, members ate 2.5 more serves of fruit and 3.3 more serves of vegetables each week
- The biggest improvements were seen in young adults, single parents, and families with lower incomes.
These small changes can help people move closer to a healthier diet - and lower their risk of long-term health problems like type 2 diabetes.
