Low-income, homebound seniors may encounter affordability and accessibility-related barriers to consuming enough fresh fruits and vegetables (FV). This paper describes a two-stage pilot intervention to improve fresh FV affordability and access for home-delivered meal (HDM) program clients in Central New Jersey. The first stage of the intervention offered in-home Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) enrollment assistance to low-income HDM program clients, with 13 clients successfully enrolling in SFMNP. The second stage of the intervention offered fresh FV home deliveries to all 64 HDM program clients at no cost to clients. We sourced fresh FV from a farmers' market run in partnership with a Cooperative Extension program affiliated with a large public research university. We carried out a post-intervention evaluation by conducting semi-structured interviews with 17 clients. Interviews addressed themes of farmers' market access, SFMNP awareness, perceived changes to FV intake, and home delivery satisfaction. Evaluation results suggest that this short-term pilot intervention was well-received and effective in reducing barriers to FV access and affordability for a vulnerable senior population.

En Bogotá, tras el atentado sufrido por el líder político Jorge Eliécer Gaitán el 9 de abril de 1948, su cuerpo fue conducido a la Clínica Central donde se declaró oficialmente su muerte a una multitud que esperaba orientación política. Ante una cantidad indeterminada de heridos que requirieron atención inmediata, en condiciones paupérrimas y bajo riesgo de muerte, la clínica caracterizada por la implementación de innovaciones tecnológicas en su época, fungió como refugio en medio de la violencia generalizada conocida como El Bogotazo, fue escenario de discusión política y jugó un papel clave en la transformación de la multitud.

The evolution of the socio-economic systems is a non-linear process and it contains periods with smooth changes and subsequent periods of sharp jump transformation. The general design of new prospects opens at a stage of the birth of evolutionary processes, their forecasting requires the analysis of the historical prerequisites and risks, which are closely integrated to the change of moods in society. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the newly independent states have passed the transformational and evolutional stage of development from the regional economy (they actually were the regions) to the economy of the state; the Central and Eastern European countries have experienced a dramatic "drift" to the European Union. In the article, the results of almost 25 years' transformation of these states are considered. New states, formed as a result of the collapse of the USSR, passed throughout three types of transformation. Firstly, it is the transformation at the ideological level. The transformation of the second type was purely economic. The third type can be characterized as the institutional (including structural and financial) transformation. It is shown that one of the important reasons for the modest economic performance in the post-Soviet space is that newly independent states ignore and do not use in the practice the principles of regional policy and regional modernization. One of the important characteristic of the social and economic evolution of the countries of Eastern Europe after 1990 became the process of stratification and social differentiation of society with an insufficiently strong middle class and the polarization in income levels between the different regions. The increasing polarization in the income levels of the various regions acts as the dominating trend of the growing economic inequality. ; Рассмотрена экономическая эволюция постсоветского пространства.
