Towards Regional Food Security and Food System Sustainability: Findings From a Stakeholder Cognitive Mapping Study.
Article in Health promotion journal of Australia : official journal of Australian Association of Health Promotion Professionals, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
issue addressedFood system sustainability is a broad goal, contributing to resilience, positive health, equity, cultural, environmental and economic outcomes. This study aims to understand the essential components on the journey towards "sustainable food systems" in New Zealand's, Hawke's Bay (HB) region.
methodsSeventeen qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted to identify barriers, facilitators and potential interventions for improving a sustainable food system. Cognitive mapping (CM) was utilised, generating causal links between themes to answer the question: "What would it take to enhance the HB region to sustain a resilient food ecosystem to supply local people with local food?"
resultsThree key themes were revealed: community engagement, the establishment of a local distribution system and fostering trust between growers and consumers. Community engagement was the most critical factor, highlighting the need for partnerships with local Iwi (tribe) and hapū (subtribe), support for local and community-based business models, economic sustainability and whakapapa of kai (genealogy of food) education. Establishing a local distribution system was identified as crucial to enhance the efficiency of food distribution and ensure repurposing of surplus food. Fostering trust between growers and consumers is needed to achieve this goal.
conclusionsThese findings underscore the role of community-centric solutions in cultivating a sustainable food system. Rooted in the specific needs and aspirations of the community, the results offer valuable insights into the development of a sustainable food system in HB. SO, WHAT: Through leveraging cognitive mapping, this study provides a novel framework for enhancing community engagement and establishing a local distribution system.
