ft market garden click here for a flier about the sunshine garden they also have a program called good food boxes started in 1994 which runs similarly to a large buying club the project distributes boxes of fresh and often local food throughout the city for either 12 or 32 depending of the version they choose professional evaluation of the good food box shows that participating in the program helps people access a more nutritious diet it is now thought that up to 70 of deaths result from diseases that have a diet related dimension and there is mounting evidence that eating enough fruit and vegetables is key to preventing disease not only is it a matter of justice that everyone should have access to the food they need to keep them healthy it also makes sense because of the enormous costs to the health care system that result from treating these diseases the good food box makes top quality fresh food available in a way that does not stigmatize people fosters community development and promotes healthy eating the salad bar program is a farm to school program aimed at getting fresh vegetables to school children in toronto modeled after salad bar programs from the us this program aims to get kids excited about fresh local food click here to see what kids said about the salad bar at their school may 5 2008 the slow cook and dc urban gardeners always have the latest on food and

the past year 1 3 million new participant s many of them families have signed up for food stamps in a effort to be able to access essential food stuffs and food stamp programs are projected to reach record high levels this year food banks have experienced a rise of 20 percent in visits than last year food prices have risen 5 5 in just six months these are just a few facts type food prices into google and you ll get 56 800 000 hits most of them about rising food costs around the world and the social unrest that is coming with it there are many reasons for these price increases according to america s second harvest the nation s largest charitable hunger relief organization federal commodity support for emergency feeding organizations has dropped nearly 200 million per year since the enactment of 2002 farm bill because of a decline in need for the federal government to buy surplus food to support farmers additionally food price inflation has caused rapid erosion in the purchasing power of food stamp benefits kids get afternoon snacks at a kids cafe in cincinnati oh uh looks like someone took that kid on the right s jello cup kids cafe is a program started by america s second harvest to try to ensure that children of low income families get the nutrition they need the amount of food stamps per household hasn t gone up with the food costs says dayna ballantyne who runs a food bank in des moines iowa our clients are finding they aren t able to purchase food like they used to usa 2008 the great depression the independen t american food stamps dc is certainly not exempt for experiencing serious hunger issues according to capital area food bank cafb a washington dc food security organization that supports and distributes food to food banks throughout the metro area nearly 1 3 of dc residents live below the poverty level one third thats huge 60 of households surveyed by cafb reported at least 1 adult member who was unemployed in the metro area one third of capital area food bank clients reported having to choose between buying food and paying for utilities at least once during the previous 12 months mathematica policy research inc hunger in america 2001 over one third reported having to choose between buying food and paying rent or mortgage mathematica policy research inc hunger in america 2001 nearly one third had to choose between buying food and paying for medicine or medical care mathematica policy research inc hunger in america 2001 109 000 d c residents are eligible to participate in the food stamp program each month however only two thirds actually receive them and of those who do 74 percent report that they do not last the entire month usda and 2001 hunger study mathematica policy research total number of families making less than 35 000 per year is 43 084 representing 38 3 of all working families the average monthly food stamp program benefit is 91 83 nearly 50 percent of the households served report at least one working adult in the household mathematica policy research inc 2006 no one should have to choose between paying rent or a mortgage or for medical care and buying food a study from 2004 what is the government doing in response to this food crisis in talking with a representative from cafb the i found that the dc government does not support their efforts their funding comes from grants private donors and fundraisers the government currently deals with hunger problems in a few ways food stamp program women infants and children wic free and reduced price school breakfast and lunches though these programs are certainly a step in the right direction many of the programs are under utilized by those who need them due to lack of awareness insufficient time to apply for the needed assistance and the confusing application process that these programs have organizations like capital area food bank try to help people find and understand these resources along with administering their other very accomplished programs what does the farm bill have to do with all of this a march 29 article in the economist sums it up pretty well the current farm bill policy is shameless farmers of a few select crops such as wheat or maize can avoid almost all risk using the government s overlapping system of subsidised insurance loans and payments the recipients are hardly the most deserving farm households make a third more than others and the richest of them which get most of the subsidies bring in three times what the average non farm household does instead of saving the family farm the policy is destroying it encouraging agricultural land consolidation and raising barriers to entry and then there are the deleterious effects america s price distorting payments have on foreign farmers and so on trade negotiations well the 2007 farm bill h r 2419 http thomas loc gov cgi bin bdquery z d110 h r 2419 is a 288 billion five year farm subsidy bil l being considered by congress as a continuation of the 2002 farm bill president bush idiotically forgetting that we have to eat threatened to veto the bill because of its high costs many many organizations pushed for more sustainable farming and renewable energy initiatives and subsidies current reforms include a modest increase in support for family farmers schools will now be allowed to use geographic preference to buy local food with federally funded child nutrition programs a new loan program will support local processing and distribution to support the farm to school and farm to institution markets hmmm i m not sure what to say horribly the bill cut all mandatory funding for the community food projects program and organic transition two critical programs that support a transition to organic and local food systems no more automatic funding means that organizations will have to put a huge amount of effort into fighting for funding every year fights continue between democrats and republicans about the farm bill up into this month april but will have to end by april 18 at which point current policies will be extended for a whole nother year something we cannot see happen community alliance for family farmers according to vicki escarra president and chief executive officer of america s second harvest in an april 4 press release hungry americans can not wait any longer for changes in the farm bill we are seeing absolutely tragic increases nationwide in the number of men women and children in need of emergency food assistance many for the first time ever food stamp enrollment is projected to reach record high levels during the coming year this rapid rise in food stamp participation is being fueled by the worsening economic downturn low income families are desperately in need of a new farm bill to make improvements in the programs that help ensure that they can put food on their tables and lead productive healthy lives in this nation so richly blessed with food resources a one year extension to the farm bill would be catastrophic for food banks and those they serve said escarra the charitable sector does not have the capacity to meet dramatically increasing requests for food assistance it is critical for congress to show leadership by passing a farm bill and for the president to show compassion by signing it if that happens none of those in our great nation who face hunger daily will have to wait longer for relief hungry americans cannot wait for a farm bill march 19 2008 in the video dan imhoff author of food fight the citizen s guide to a food and farm bill talks about the farm
