This study aims to better understand the motivators and barriers for the Bangladeshi American community in Brooklyn, New York to participate in diet-related interventions. Formative qualitative interviews were conducted in English and Bangla with Bangladeshi adults (n = 12) to understand current shopping\/cooking behaviors, access and usage of food programs, awareness and interest in food programs, and future program preferences. Participants reported three key themes: centrality of community behaviors for program acceptability, creating opportunities to leverage community and social motivations, and addressing logistical concerns during program development. Gardening emerged as a promising program offering to increase access to fresh produce, strengthen community bonds, and foster cross-cultural understanding. Using community feedback, Harvest Share Seedlings, a community-informed home gardening program, was co-developed and implemented with farming and community partners to increase access to fresh produce for the Bangladeshi community. The findings highlight the need to understand and center community-specific considerations when designing and implementing food programs and interventions. Adopting a community-informed approach increases uptake and acceptability from the community, and ensures sustainability in the long run.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daag065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,12]],"date-time":"2026-05-12T11:38:48Z","timestamp":1778585928000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A community-informed approach to develop a gardening model for the Bangladeshi community in Brooklyn, NY"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5230-7619","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sze Wan","family":"Chan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section for Health Equity, Department of Population Health, NYU Langone Health , 180 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatema","family":"Kamal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section for Health Equity, Department of Population Health, NYU Langone Health , 180 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rhyden","family":"Dowd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brooklyn Grange , 63 Flushing Ave, Building 3, Suite 1105, Brooklyn, NY 11205 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabiha","family":"Sultana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section for Health Equity, Department of Population Health, NYU Langone Health , 180 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadia S","family":"Islam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section for Health Equity, Department of Population Health, NYU Langone Health , 180 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stella S","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section for Health Equity, Department of Population Health, NYU Langone Health , 180 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026052602363896700_daag065-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.2190\/LPKH-PMPJ-DBW9-FP6X","article-title":"A conceptual model for culturally appropriate health education programs in developing countries.","volume":"11","author":"Airhihenbuwa","year":"1990","journal-title":"Int Q Community Health Educ"},{"key":"2026052602363896700_daag065-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.3390\/genealogy7040081","article-title":"The Bangladeshi diaspora in the United States: history and portrait.","volume":"7","author":"Akhter","year":"2023","journal-title":"Genealogy (Basel)"},{"key":"2026052602363896700_daag065-B3","author":"Asian American Federation","year":"2015"},{"key":"2026052602363896700_daag065-B4","author":"Asian American Federation","year":"2020"},{"key":"2026052602363896700_daag065-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1217","DOI":"10.1007\/s12571-019-00969-0","article-title":"Long-term behavioural impact of an integrated home garden intervention: evidence from Bangladesh.","volume":"11","author":"Baliki","year":"2019","journal-title":"Food Security"},{"key":"2026052602363896700_daag065-B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"7899","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19137899","article-title":"How gardening in detroit influences physical and mental health.","volume":"19","author":"Beavers","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int J Environ Res Public Health"},{"key":"2026052602363896700_daag065-B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1684","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph15081684","article-title":"The overlooked burden of food insecurity among Asian Americans: results from the California health interview survey.","volume":"15","author":"Becerra","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int J Environ Res Public Health"},{"key":"2026052602363896700_daag065-B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e233149","DOI":"10.1001\/jamahealthforum.2023.3149","article-title":"Food is medicine movement\u2014key actions inside and outside the government.","volume":"4","author":"Bleich","year":"2023","journal-title":"JAMA Health Forum"},{"key":"2026052602363896700_daag065-B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2158244018787223","DOI":"10.1177\/2158244018787223","article-title":"What is asset-based community development and how might it improve the health of people with long-term conditions?
