Linking City And Countryside To Solve Food Insecurity

August 22, 2025 Anabel Peterman, Next City. , , , , ,
There’s more than enough food to go around, say food access organizers across landscapes. That’s hard to imagine in Kentucky, home to some of the lowest-income and food insecure counties nationwide. The true surplus becomes apparent when a dozen pallets of peaches are loaded in for the Hazel Green Food Project, stretching across the stockyard lot in rural Wolfe County. Someone hollers for volunteers to sort through the haul, so they don vests and plastic gloves and get to work. Good fruit will be sifted into bags and packed into a family’s car later that morning. The rest will become animal feed for local farmers. Drive an hour west, and the words ring equally true in the Commonwealth’s urban centers.

Food Prices And Stagnating Wages Weigh On US Residents

August 5, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
New economic data and surveys reveal growing financial anxiety among US nationals, who are grappling with rising food prices and slowing wage growth. Nearly seven months after Donald Trump returned to the White House, the promised “golden age” has not materialized for most, according to polls. According to a recent Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey, the vast majority of US adults feel stressed about food costs. This concern is particularly acute for low-income US residents, among whom 64% say grocery prices are one of their top sources of stress.

Reclaiming Traditional Foods For A Degrowth Food Future

January 26, 2025 Christiane Heisse and Sevgi Mutlu Sirakova, Resilience. , , , ,
Crusty Bread, creamy cheese, bubbly kimchi or refreshing tepache – all cultures have fermented foods and beverages with their own traditions, language, and cultural heritage surrounding them. Fermentation, in this sense, is a living food culture that taps into ancient skills and traditional knowledge. But this knowledge is under attack. As capitalism continues its onslaught on rural, indigenous, communal, and non-commodified ways of life, traditional food practices are slowly dying out in the contexts in which they originally emerged.

No One Is Coming To Feed Us

January 25, 2025 The Chronicles for Black Political Power. , , ,
It's January 2025, LA is burning, Richmond has no water, Helene survivors are getting kicked out of hotels by FEMA. The level of government response you grew up with is gone. This has left millions wondering; what is it going to take for Americans to say enough is enough? The missing piece of the puzzle is food. If we can't feed ourselves, we can't disrupt the system that feeds us. If we don't source our food locally, we won't fight to stay. We urgently need communities that can feed themselves while withholding labor, communities that trust and rely on each other, and communities that understand the vital importance of the land they're living on.

BRICS Expands With Nine New Partner Countries

December 25, 2024 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , ,
With its nine members and nine partners, BRICS now makes up roughly half of the global population and more than 41% of world GDP (PPP). The group is an economic powerhouse, including top producers of key commodities like oil, gas, grains, meat, and minerals. At the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia in October 2024, 13 countries were invited to become BRICS partners, meaning they are on the path to full membership in the near future. Nine of these 13 nations accepted the invitation. The remaining four did not give a formal response as of the end of 2024. These were Algeria, Nigeria, Turkey/Türkiye, Vietnam.

Industrial Fishing Undermines World’s Greatest Carbon Sink

October 24, 2024 Sophie Kevany, DeSmog. , , , , ,
Fish is often sold as the perfect climate-friendly dinner: highly nutritious and lower carbon than other forms of protein. But new research is increasingly bringing some of these eco marketing claims into question. In part, because industrial fishing – scientists and campaigners say – is weakening the ocean’s ability to act as a carbon sink. Over the last 60 years, the ocean, forests and other natural carbon sinks have absorbed over half of all man-made emissions, slowing down global warming. Yet, as temperatures rise, scientists warn such processes could be on the brink of collapse.
