Well done to Eat Wild and to Tops Day Nursery. Well researched and written piece in the Times here pointing out the cost to drivers and to agriculture of deer overpopulation in the UK. Only when the militant, anti hunting vegetarians and vegans realise the threat to UK agriculture and the implications of relying solely on imported foods will media such as the BBC and the other left wing media realise how important game hunting and personal choice is. As it is we have a multitude of famers having issues with poorly thought out laws and guidelines, DEFRA allows pollution of the waterways and their IT system is causing issues with subsidy payments to farmers. These same farmers have to cope with supermarkets failing to pay them a fair rate for their produce leaving the UK with millions of acres of grassland and farmland lost to carbon credit woodland and development since 2010 (see farming UK July 2022 or the Independent July 2020). Farmland enough to produce 250,000 tonnes of homegrown food per annum gone forever. Perhaps it is now time to support game shooting and famers alike before the UK becomes a concrete metropolis incapable of sustaining any meaningful home grown produce? Well BBC News The Labour Party will you support UK sustainably and sensible game hunting?

Research shows a significant correlation between food and housing insecurity. #LCUFund #OpeningDoorsForWomen #LCUScholars #WomenInEducation #EducationFunding #CollegeCompletion #AddressingHousingInsecurity #InvestsInTheFuture

Can Small Food Businesses Spark San Francisco’s Revitalization? Join San Francisco Housing Development Corporation for a #FoodwiseTalk TONIGHT, Wednesday, February 28, at 5:30pm, presented by Foodwise at SHACK15 at SF San Francisco Ferry Building. Speakers include Pia Harris San Francisco Housing Development Corporation, Emiliana Puyana La Cocina - Nonprofit Kitchen Incubator , Nafy Flatley Teranga Foods, and Christine Farren Foodwise. As San Francisco, especially the downtown Financial District, struggles to fully recover from the pandemic, pop-ups and other innovative projects have sprung up to breathe life into vacancies. Food businesses are essential to this revitalization, contributing to San Francisco’s diversity, creativity, and vibrancy. But are we putting an undue burden on these small businesses to solve systemic problems? Join Foodwise & SFHDC for a conversation with local leaders about collaborative efforts to support small food businesses, and what we can all do to shape our city’s future together.

This is one of the best news stories engaging the people, problems, paradoxes, and potential solutions to address the shockingly high levels of hunger, poverty, and social exclusion in Silicon Valley that I have read in my 13 years as a professor Santa Clara University. It's in-depth and long form, so take your time reading it. Happy to provide background to journalist Prachi Singh. There is so much more to do. Grateful for all of the organizations and individuals working to address food, climate, and racial injustices in the South Bay Area (and beyond). Several of them are in this article and others are always important to remember. These include, but are not limited to: Garden To Table Silicon Valley, ValleyVerde.org, Veggielution, Fresh Approach, Environmental Justice & Common Good Initiative, Sacred Heart Community Service, UCANR, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, Pie Ranch, Food Empowerment Project, Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen, The Health Trust, SCU Center for Sustainability, Stanford's Food for Health Equity Lab, Center for Food Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and many others.

Summer is here – which means sunshine, longer days to enjoy the outdoors, and time to catch up with family and friends. It can also be a time of incredible stress and uncertainty if you are struggling with food insecurity. In our June blog for the St. Louis Area Foodbank , I discuss added challenges faced by many families in our area during the summer months and how you can make a difference.

This time of year, “food” and favorite recipes come up a lot in conversation. But what about Food Insecurity and Food Justice? How much do you know, and what can you do in your own community? During tomorrow’s webinar, "Food Justice: Awareness, Access & Action!,” Nzingha Campbell (Food Policy Fellow) and Jessica Fink (Food Policy Data Fellow) will discuss all aspects of Food Justice including how systemic racism and colonization impact how the food system works – or doesn’t work – for each member of our community. They’ll cover: ✔️ What is Food Justice ✔️ Food Policy and Planning Division ✔️ All things SNAP ✔️ Community resources in Baltimore  ✔️ Call to action Plus, they’ll share what’s working in Baltimore along with some really exciting initiatives happening locally and nationally to address food insecurity. And, there will be time for Q&A throughout. The two emerging leaders began serving with Baltimore City’s Dept. of Planning in 2022 through the Baltimore Corps Fellowship. Their capstone projects included changemaker recommendations for the Baltimore Food Policy Initiative (BFPI), which uses food as a catalyst to address health, economic, and environmental disparities in areas where accessing healthy foods is especially challenging. ✨ As second-year fellows, they are now implementing their recommendations! ✨ RSVP Today for TOMORROW’s webinar, set for 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET (10 to 11:30 a.m. CT). Click this link – https://lnkd.in/esnv_DDW to register. (A link to the Zoom meeting room can be found at the top & bottom of the event description). The webinar is part of our new ongoing Speaker Series in celebration of our 10-year anniversary.
