#LocalFood and #ShortSupplyChains are poor indicators for #sustainability. How food is produced and what food we eat—more #plantbased, less #meat, #dairy & eggs—matter much more. For #consumers to navigate this issue, a mandatory #labelling scheme would be helpful: doi.org/10.1016/B978... #labeling

Redirecting

Why is food at farmers markets often more expensive, even though it’s supposedly direct from farm to consumer—cutting out grocery stores, staff salaries, and extra transport costs? What’s driving the higher prices? #FoodSystems #FarmersMarkets #LocalFood

Wenn man einen Ansporn fuers Training braucht, einfach beim lokalen #Bauern einkaufen.

It’s my first columnaversary as CBC-KW’s food columnist! What better way to celebrate a year of exploring local foods than with maple syrup? Talked about terroir, this year’s harvest, and there’s a Salted Guinness Maple Caramel Syrup recipe that’s mighty good on ice cream!

USDA Cuts $1 Billion in Local Food Funding: Schools, Farmers, and Food Banks Brace for Impact

The #USDA has terminated two programs, #LocalFood for #Schools and #LocalFood#Purchase #Assistance, resulting in a $1 billion cut to local food purchases for schools and #Food Banks. This decision, made under the #Trump administration, has faced opposition from various #stakeholders, including #students, #parents, #teachers, #farmers, and #Democratic leaders, who argue it will negatively impact #ChildNutrition and #LocalEconomies. Advocates urge contacting elected officials and supporting alternative funding for local #FoodInitiatives.

3/12/25 Summary from National Farm to School Network #NFSN. There was confusion about the termination of a $660 million program for #LocalFood in #schools and #ChildCare. Clarification was provided that existing contracts will continue until 2026, but new funding has been terminated. Advocacy is crucial to ensure the program’s continuation.

I was weed-free and hungry for the first time in the better part of two weeks today.

So Emerson got me a surprise – a birria burrito with a horchata. It was delicious. He’s so sweet to me. Unfortunately, our polycule’s lemon of a car is back in the fucking shop because it is misbehaving again, so there are no in person adventures to be had for the time being. However, my hunger means that I’m likely finally getting over this bullshit for good, whatever it is. I’m glad to have my fucking appetite back.

#USDA terminated the second round of the #LocalFood for #Schools and #ChildCare #LFSCC program. This decision is seen as detrimental to #farmers, #ranchers, and #ChildNutrition programs, prompting calls for action from the #NationalFarmToSchoolNetwork #NFSN.
