Food insecurity in spring 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic might have been reduced by increasing access to SNAP and by addressing barriers to obtaining food, such as expanding the accessibility of food delivery programs.

I was the boss of the food shelf in Hinesburg, Vermont today. We had loads of great produce, and had to encourage people to take as much bread as they could use before it goes bad. Also, a mystery can donation... what's in it? Could it be... soup? Or maybe soup? Cream of mushroom soup? Stay tuned for the opening event #vermont #foodinsecurity #inequality #foodshelf

Australia’s Insecure Work Framework Is Designed and Maintained by the Labor Party

https://jacobin.com/2023/08/australia-insecure-casual-work-labor-party-legislation/

The Australian Labor Party is introducing legislation it claims will help end endemic insecure work. But if the party’s track record is anything to go by, casual workers shouldn’t hold their breath.

3 in 4 Mexican migrants experienced food insecurity—ranging from having only one meal to no food at all in one or several consecutive 24-hour periods. More severe food insecurity was related to more days in active transit, more severe illness impacting mobility, or an ill travel companion.

Volunteering at the Hinesburg food shelf today. Low traffic due to it being the end of the month so we swept, scrubbed the sinks, wiped the carts and desks, bagged coffee and cat food, processed donations, and mounted a paper towel holder on the wall. We got so much surplus bread that we asked people to take as much as they could possibly eat or freeze. Extra bounty of eggs as well. #Vermont #FoodShelf #FoodInsecurity

#HeatWaves of increasing frequency are awful for those that live in affected regions, but my question is how long before the increasing number/duration seriously impacts #crop productivity and #FoodInsecurity? It will be a bad #famine that wakes people up.

““Russia has dealt another blow to the world’s most vulnerable,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said upon hearing the news that President Vladimir Putin had decided to end that country’s participation in the Black Sea Grain Initiative. That deal allowed the export of Ukrainian (and Russian) grain, crucial not just to stabilizing prices in the affluent West, but also to basic food security elsewhere. “This is really another act of cruelty,” Thomas-Greenfield added.

She’s right. The decision to hold hostage millions of people in the global south, who are already bearing the brunt of so many modern horrors — from conflict and displacement to drought and the wanton destruction of their landscapes and habitats — is the act of a deranged and desperate man.

Still, it’s not Putin who turned dozens of countries, whose people once were able to till the soil and nourish themselves, into dependencies whose populations have no choice but to purchase imported — often low-quality and genetically engineered — grain. We helped do that, through food assistance provided for purportedly charitable reasons, and through our ideological attachment to globalized trade.”
