Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City.

There are many reasons the people who grow our food don’t have enough to eat themselves, she explained, including low wages and the fact that most live in rural areas with little transportation and few grocery stores. Farmworkers often rely on employers for housing, which often lacks proper refrigeration or food storage. “So if they’re able to go to a food bank how are they supposed to store the food?

It’s not a coincidence, he says, that farming is the whitest labor in the country and farm labor is the brownest. The descendents of people who worked the country’s land as slaves, or who were forced to surrender it to European settlers, today live with poverty rates much higher than whites. Native Americans, Salvador said, experience three times the poverty rates of whites, while rates for blacks and Latinos are twice as high as for whites. The problems that spur hunger are deep and entrenched, going back well before Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In spite of the myths of the great social progress of the country,” said Salvador, “what we’re seeing is the truth about the country that’s always been there, simply unmasked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it came to solutions, the panelists conceded that there are no easy ones. But they all start with making sure that the poor, especially farmworkers, earn a living wage and are compensated fairly for their skills and knowledge—an acknowledgment of the value of their work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That compensation should include a path to citizenship, said Guild, from Farmworker Justice.

And 23 percent of households using the Women, Infants and Children program visited a pantry that year, as had 23 percent of households receiving free or reduced-price school lunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally, we believe that people aren't going to go to pantries if they don't need the food,\" says Alisha Coleman-Jensen, an economist at the USDA's Economic Research Service and a specialist in food insecurity. \"I think you can read into [the new data] that SNAP benefits aren't going far enough to cover all of their food expenses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That lines up with other research suggesting that SNAP benefits rarely sustain families throughout an entire month. A 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/SNAPFoodSec.pdf\">qualitative study of 3,300 SNAP households\u003c/a> by the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service found that \"SNAP households experience ... financial strain that is eased but not alleviated by participation in the SNAP program.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, that study found that many SNAP clients — about 45 percent — limited food consumption, usually by skipping meals, to make it through the month. \u003ca href=\"http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/33/1/116.abstract\">Other research\u003c/a> has shown that hospital admissions for hypoglycemia —low blood sugar, a condition that can be treated with a healthful diet — spike by 27 percent for low-income households during that last week of the month, while high-income households show no similar trend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://https/apha.confex.com/apha/143am/webprogram/Paper328522.html\">forthcoming study\u003c/a> from University of Pennsylvania researchers bears out this shortfall in cold dollars and cents.

A closer look revealed that it was mostly food — a half-eaten sandwich, a browning apple and what appeared to be the remains of the day's lunch special.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heap was gross, but intriguing. Turned out it was a stunt to get students thinking about how much food they throw out each day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nowadays, students are coming face to face with their food waste, and its environmental and social impact, a lot more often. They also have more opportunities do something about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conspirator behind the stinky installation at UMD was Ben Simon, 25. Simon founded the \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodrecoverynetwork.org/\">Food Recovery Network\u003c/a> as an undergraduate as a way to get college kids to salvage uneaten food from cafeterias and deliver it to local agencies that feed the needy. He's been so successful with the initiative that he \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/pictures/emeg45edife/ben-simon-25/\">was recently highlighted\u003c/a> on Forbes' \"30 Under 30\" list of entrepreneurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average college student generates 142 pounds of food waste a year, \u003ca href=\"http://www.recyclingworksma.com/food-waste-estimation-guide/#Jump01\">according\u003c/a> to Recycling Works, a program in Massachusetts. And college campuses as a group throw out a total of 22 million pounds of uneaten food each year, the Food Recovery Network has found. It's a small – but significant — piece of the 35 million tons of food discarded by Americans in 2012 alone, \u003ca href=\"http://www.epa.gov/osw/nonhaz/municipal/pubs/2012_msw_fs.pdf\">according\u003c/a> to the latest estimate from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. About 40 percent of all food in the U.S. never even makes it to the plate before it's tossed. Yet \u003ca href=\"http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/\">1 in 6\u003c/a> Americans go hungry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many institutions with big food service operations, colleges and universities are forced to throw food away because they never know exactly how many people will be dining in their cafeterias every day. Many schools are serving meals buffet-style and can't run the risk of running out of food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simon says all the waste at the UMD began to resonate with him as a lost opportunity to feed the hungry — he was volunteering at soup kitchens and involved with food drives at the time. He discovered that only a handful of U.S. colleges had some sort of program to repurpose uneaten food.

A closer look revealed that it was mostly food — a half-eaten sandwich, a browning apple and what appeared to be the remains of the day's lunch special.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heap was gross, but intriguing. Turned out it was a stunt to get students thinking about how much food they throw out each day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nowadays, students are coming face to face with their food waste, and its environmental and social impact, a lot more often. They also have more opportunities do something about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conspirator behind the stinky installation at UMD was Ben Simon, 25. Simon founded the \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodrecoverynetwork.org/\">Food Recovery Network\u003c/a> as an undergraduate as a way to get college kids to salvage uneaten food from cafeterias and deliver it to local agencies that feed the needy. He's been so successful with the initiative that he \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/pictures/emeg45edife/ben-simon-25/\">was recently highlighted\u003c/a> on Forbes' \"30 Under 30\" list of entrepreneurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average college student generates 142 pounds of food waste a year, \u003ca href=\"http://www.recyclingworksma.com/food-waste-estimation-guide/#Jump01\">according\u003c/a> to Recycling Works, a program in Massachusetts. And college campuses as a group throw out a total of 22 million pounds of uneaten food each year, the Food Recovery Network has found. It's a small – but significant — piece of the 35 million tons of food discarded by Americans in 2012 alone, \u003ca href=\"http://www.epa.gov/osw/nonhaz/municipal/pubs/2012_msw_fs.pdf\">according\u003c/a> to the latest estimate from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. About 40 percent of all food in the U.S. never even makes it to the plate before it's tossed. Yet \u003ca href=\"http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/\">1 in 6\u003c/a> Americans go hungry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many institutions with big food service operations, colleges and universities are forced to throw food away because they never know exactly how many people will be dining in their cafeterias every day. Many schools are serving meals buffet-style and can't run the risk of running out of food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simon says all the waste at the UMD began to resonate with him as a lost opportunity to feed the hungry — he was volunteering at soup kitchens and involved with food drives at the time. He discovered that only a handful of U.S. colleges had some sort of program to repurpose uneaten food. There was \u003ca href=\"http://hunger.stanford.edu/\">SPOON\u003c/a> at Stanford University and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.campuskitchens.org/\">The Campus Kitchens Project\u003c/a>, which had chapters in a few dozen schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It just seemed like everywhere across the country, this surplus food from college campuses was just getting wasted,\" he tells The Salt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he got to work, initially with a group of 11 people.
