Will the successful alliance of farmers and poverty advocates crumble?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Farm Bill, which funds both food stamps (now known as SNAP) and farm subsidies, is due to be renegotiated by the end of 2018. Some conservative Republicans probably will renew their efforts, previously unsuccessful, to scuttle the whole package, separating the farm-related provisions and the nutrition programs into separate bills. Many observers believe that this would leave each of them more vulnerable to attack. The political factions that have traditionally supported this bill, though, including farm groups and poverty advocates, are likely to mount a fierce counterattack. The stakes are high. SNAP, in particular, is one of the country's most important \"safety net\" programs for the poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. School lunch reforms and nutrition standards may be under attack\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be attempts to roll back parts of the school lunch reforms ushered in during the Obama administration. Margo Wootan of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, who has been a key player in pushing for healthier food in schools, told us that \"given the deregulatory, anti-science rhetoric during the [Trump] campaign, we are on high alert.\" She says Congress \"might try to rollback school meal standards or try to dismantle the National School Lunch Program\" by converting them into \"block grants\" that states could manage with only limited federal oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wootan says other nutrition policies at risk include new menu labeling rules. Federal standards requiring chain restaurants to list calories on menus or menu boards are set to go into effect in 2017. Those rules were mandated by the Affordable Care Act. But Wootan says she's concerned that changes being considered by the incoming administration could \"weaken the provision of information to consumers.\" And she says the Dietary Guidelines for Americans that were updated this year and serve as the basis for national nutrition programs \"could be part of anti-science efforts\" during the Trump administration. The guidelines are set to be updated again in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Will the administration compromise on farmworkers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hostility to illegal immigration was central to Trump's campaign. But farm groups, many of them bedrock supporters of the Republican Party, are adamantly opposed to any wholesale deportation of immigrants who aren't in the country legally. Many large-scale dairy farmers, and growers of fruits and vegetables, rely heavily on immigrant labor. This promises to be a delicate backroom negotiation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Environmental regulations. Which will go first?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among farmers, few regulations have inspired more hostility than the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water Rule. It laid out, among other things, a definition of which waterways should be subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act. Farmers were outraged to discover that some of their streams and ponds might be subject to federal regulation. It's likely that the EPA, under Scott Pruitt, will look for ways to withdraw or revise that rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other environmental regulations that are less well-known but probably more significant may also face scrutiny. Among them are the \"conservation compliance\" provisions of the Farm Bill. Under this law, farmers who plow up native grasslands or drain wetlands can lose their federal crop subsidies. The EPA also could reduce the number of large-scale animal feeding operations that it regulates as \"point sources\" of pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups are concerned about what Trump's pick for EPA administrator will mean for the plight of bees. Bees are important to agriculture since so many crops rely on the pollination services they provide. And as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/24/457130929/as-beekeepers-lose-more-hives-time-for-new-rules-on-pesticides\">we've reported\u003c/a>, scientists are concerned that the widespread use of neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticides on crops such as corn and soybeans is linked to bee decline. Under the Obama administration, the EPA has been reviewing the safety of neonics. The Sierra Club is watching this issue closely. It pointed out in an email to its supporters that \"If Scott Pruitt is confirmed as EPA head ... it is clear he will severely weaken the EPA's power.\" The Sierra Club email continues: \"the fate of bees — and all the crops and ecosystems that depend on them — may come down to a standoff between the Trump administration and science itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Will political inertia trump Trump?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferd Hoefner is one of the true veterans of Washington's food policy community. He has been part of these debates for almost four decades and has been policy director of the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, which represents small farmers, for 28 years. And Hoefner, in contrast to every other policy advocate and lobbyist whom we contacted, believes that the Trump administration may choose to continue some pieces of\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Obama's legacy in food and farm policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the environment, he says. Alongside the predictable push to dismantle some environmental regulations, Hoefner sees a good chance that the next Farm Bill might actually contain a new initiative that environmentalists will welcome. It will focus on ways to improve the fertility and microbial health of farmland soil. Soil health has always been central to the concerns of organic farmers. \"We have witnessed in the last several years a tremendous amount of interest in soil health from more conventional farms and organizations,\" Hoefner writes, in an email to The Salt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoefner also predicts that the Trump administration will end up supporting another piece of the Obama legacy, a controversial regulation issued in recent weeks, that protects farmers from abuse at the hands of meat packers and large-scale poultry producers. According to Hoefner, it makes little sense, politically, for Trump to dump a rule that benefits some of his strongest supporters, small farmers who raise cattle, hogs and poultry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"President-elect Donald Trump hasn't said much about food and farm policy or named his choices for top food-related jobs.

He has changed his mind since, because \"every news report seems to show that the incoming administration plans to pursue 100 fights simultaneously. I have never seen that approach work in American politics previously. But, in these wild times, who knows?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is a list of potential changes to watch for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Will the successful alliance of farmers and poverty advocates crumble?\u003c/strong>\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 Farm Bill, which funds both food stamps (now known as SNAP) and farm subsidies, is due to be renegotiated by the end of 2018. Some conservative Republicans probably will renew their efforts, previously unsuccessful, to scuttle the whole package, separating the farm-related provisions and the nutrition programs into separate bills. Many observers believe that this would leave each of them more vulnerable to attack. The political factions that have traditionally supported this bill, though, including farm groups and poverty advocates, are likely to mount a fierce counterattack. The stakes are high. SNAP, in particular, is one of the country's most important \"safety net\" programs for the poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. School lunch reforms and nutrition standards may be under attack\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be attempts to roll back parts of the school lunch reforms ushered in during the Obama administration. Margo Wootan of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, who has been a key player in pushing for healthier food in schools, told us that \"given the deregulatory, anti-science rhetoric during the [Trump] campaign, we are on high alert.\" She says Congress \"might try to rollback school meal standards or try to dismantle the National School Lunch Program\" by converting them into \"block grants\" that states could manage with only limited federal oversight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wootan says other nutrition policies at risk include new menu labeling rules. Federal standards requiring chain restaurants to list calories on menus or menu boards are set to go into effect in 2017. Those rules were mandated by the Affordable Care Act. But Wootan says she's concerned that changes being considered by the incoming administration could \"weaken the provision of information to consumers.\" And she says the Dietary Guidelines for Americans that were updated this year and serve as the basis for national nutrition programs \"could be part of anti-science efforts\" during the Trump administration. The guidelines are set to be updated again in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Will the administration compromise on farmworkers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hostility to illegal immigration was central to Trump's campaign. But farm groups, many of them bedrock supporters of the Republican Party, are adamantly opposed to any wholesale deportation of immigrants who aren't in the country legally. Many large-scale dairy farmers, and growers of fruits and vegetables, rely heavily on immigrant labor. This promises to be a delicate backroom negotiation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Environmental regulations. Which will go first?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among farmers, few regulations have inspired more hostility than the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water Rule. It laid out, among other things, a definition of which waterways should be subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act. Farmers were outraged to discover that some of their streams and ponds might be subject to federal regulation. It's likely that the EPA, under Scott Pruitt, will look for ways to withdraw or revise that rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other environmental regulations that are less well-known but probably more significant may also face scrutiny. Among them are the \"conservation compliance\" provisions of the Farm Bill. Under this law, farmers who plow up native grasslands or drain wetlands can lose their federal crop subsidies. The EPA also could reduce the number of large-scale animal feeding operations that it regulates as \"point sources\" of pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups are concerned about what Trump's pick for EPA administrator will mean for the plight of bees. Bees are important to agriculture since so many crops rely on the pollination services they provide. And as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/24/457130929/as-beekeepers-lose-more-hives-time-for-new-rules-on-pesticides\">we've reported\u003c/a>, scientists are concerned that the widespread use of neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticides on crops such as corn and soybeans is linked to bee decline. Under the Obama administration, the EPA has been reviewing the safety of neonics. The Sierra Club is watching this issue closely. It pointed out in an email to its supporters that \"If Scott Pruitt is confirmed as EPA head ... it is clear he will severely weaken the EPA's power.\" The Sierra Club email continues: \"the fate of bees — and all the crops and ecosystems that depend on them — may come down to a standoff between the Trump administration and science itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Will political inertia trump Trump?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferd Hoefner is one of the true veterans of Washington's food policy community. He has been part of these debates for almost four decades and has been policy director of the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, which represents small farmers, for 28 years. And Hoefner, in contrast to every other policy advocate and lobbyist whom we contacted, believes that the Trump administration may choose to continue some pieces of\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Obama's legacy in food and farm policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the environment, he says. Alongside the predictable push to dismantle some environmental regulations, Hoefner sees a good chance that the next Farm Bill might actually contain a new initiative that environmentalists will welcome. It will focus on ways to improve the fertility and microbial health of farmland soil. Soil health has always been central to the concerns of organic farmers. \"We have witnessed in the last several years a tremendous amount of interest in soil health from more conventional farms and organizations,\" Hoefner writes, in an email to The Salt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hoefner also predicts that the Trump administration will end up supporting another piece of the Obama legacy, a controversial regulation issued in recent weeks, that protects farmers from abuse at the hands of meat packers and large-scale poultry producers. According to Hoefner, it makes little sense, politically, for Trump to dump a rule that benefits some of his strongest supporters, small farmers who raise cattle, hogs and poultry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2016 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/114399/big-battles-over-farm-and-food-policies-may-be-brewing-as-trump-era-begins","authors":["byline_bayareabites_114399"],"categories":["bayareabites_1874","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_4084","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_358","bayareabites_60"],"tags":["bayareabites_1111","bayareabites_11497","bayareabites_450"],"featImg":"bayareabites_114400","label":"source_bayareabites_114399"},"bayareabites_103739":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_103739","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"103739","score":null,"sort":[1447426802000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"how-oaklands-roots-of-change-transforms-food-policy-in-california","title":"How Oakland's Roots of Change is Transforming Food Policy in California","publishDate":1447426802,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>What's the difference between free range and organic chickens?

Agricultural groups, representing farmers weakened by the drought and in search of solutions, have supported Roots of Change on important legislation like climate change bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We try to include farmers in all of the conversations we have around the development of bills so that we can take into account their needs. Our long-term vision is that agriculture remain vibrant and central to the California culture and economy. Part of what makes us California is our incredible diversity, and the innovation and farming systems here,” he said, noting California’s storied history that spans the early days of organic farming to landmark events in the food justice movement. “Ag has to remain at the center of our culture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roots of Change’s success hasn’t been without its challenges. In 2008 and 2009, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rootsofchange.org/projects/working-diversity-fierce-allies-project/\" target=\"_blank\">the group recognized \u003c/a>that they were struggling with issues of racism and classism and sought outside help. (They're not alone in \u003ca href=\"http://munchies.vice.com/articles/the-new-food-movement-has-a-problem-with-race\" target=\"_blank\">facing this type of criticism regarding diversity\u003c/a>, however.) Following that, the group embarked on a two-year process with Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.peoplesgrocery.org/roots_of_change\" target=\"_blank\">People’s Grocery\u003c/a> to improve their \"cultural competency\" and unite on common goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, Dimock said, their biggest problems revolve around funding -- like many non-profits. Historically, the group’s funding has been foundation-based, but as Roots of Change increases their lobbying efforts, many foundations can’t allocate funds for such explicitly political goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dimock is optimistic about the future of the organization. One of their most recent successes was the signing of bill \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a80/news-room/press-releases/governor-brown-signs-gonzalez-bill-protecting-grocery-workers-jobs\" target=\"_blank\">AB 359\u003c/a> into law by Governor Brown this summer. The new law helps protect grocery store workers from being fired when a store changes owners and is the first statewide law of its kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the next few weeks, Roots of Change will release their yearly legislative report, which outlines the group’s goals for reworking the state's food system, the policies they support, and reveals how politicians across the state voted. The report also serves as a reminder to politicians that their constituents care about food issues -- while praising those who acknowledge them and calling out those who don’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the coming years, they're planning to expand the California Food Policy Council across the country, creating a collaborative national group that enacts long-term policy change around food systems.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"This Oakland organization takes an all-inclusive approach to changing food systems statewide.

They encompass all aspects of the food system, from the environmental impacts of raising meat to fast food workers’ fight for fair wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a long history of working with all elements, what we call grass tops to grassroots,” Dimock said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took a spirited debate in the early days of the council to agree on their six main focus areas: healthy food access; ecological farming systems; small farm viability; farm labor; school food environments; and reasonable food system infrastructure. Council members include advocates from a range of fields, including public health, social justice, local economies, environmentalism and labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Roots Of Change's biggest goals, Dimock said, was to “bring more democracy [and] more people to the food system, because there were too few interest groups controlling the evolution of the food system. That approach has proved to be politically powerful. If you can bring a broad cross section of people into a policy debate, it’s clear that, ‘Wow, people from all walks of life support this. We can get bills passed.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_103736\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-103736 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/11/edited31.jpg\" alt=\"The group discusses their 2013 Legislative Report on Food & Farming at the capitol building in Sacramento in early 2014.

Agricultural groups, representing farmers weakened by the drought and in search of solutions, have supported Roots of Change on important legislation like climate change bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We try to include farmers in all of the conversations we have around the development of bills so that we can take into account their needs. Our long-term vision is that agriculture remain vibrant and central to the California culture and economy. Part of what makes us California is our incredible diversity, and the innovation and farming systems here,” he said, noting California’s storied history that spans the early days of organic farming to landmark events in the food justice movement. “Ag has to remain at the center of our culture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roots of Change’s success hasn’t been without its challenges. In 2008 and 2009, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rootsofchange.org/projects/working-diversity-fierce-allies-project/\" target=\"_blank\">the group recognized \u003c/a>that they were struggling with issues of racism and classism and sought outside help. (They're not alone in \u003ca href=\"http://munchies.vice.com/articles/the-new-food-movement-has-a-problem-with-race\" target=\"_blank\">facing this type of criticism regarding diversity\u003c/a>, however.) Following that, the group embarked on a two-year process with Oakland’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.peoplesgrocery.org/roots_of_change\" target=\"_blank\">People’s Grocery\u003c/a> to improve their \"cultural competency\" and unite on common goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, Dimock said, their biggest problems revolve around funding -- like many non-profits. Historically, the group’s funding has been foundation-based, but as Roots of Change increases their lobbying efforts, many foundations can’t allocate funds for such explicitly political goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dimock is optimistic about the future of the organization. One of their most recent successes was the signing of bill \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a80/news-room/press-releases/governor-brown-signs-gonzalez-bill-protecting-grocery-workers-jobs\" target=\"_blank\">AB 359\u003c/a> into law by Governor Brown this summer. The new law helps protect grocery store workers from being fired when a store changes owners and is the first statewide law of its kind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the next few weeks, Roots of Change will release their yearly legislative report, which outlines the group’s goals for reworking the state's food system, the policies they support, and reveals how politicians across the state voted. The report also serves as a reminder to politicians that their constituents care about food issues -- while praising those who acknowledge them and calling out those who don’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the coming years, they're planning to expand the California Food Policy Council across the country, creating a collaborative national group that enacts long-term policy change around food systems.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/103739/how-oaklands-roots-of-change-transforms-food-policy-in-california","authors":["5566"],"categories":["bayareabites_109","bayareabites_1962","bayareabites_95","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_2554","bayareabites_366","bayareabites_2035","bayareabites_60"],"tags":["bayareabites_129","bayareabites_11497","bayareabites_669","bayareabites_15090","bayareabites_15089"],"featImg":"bayareabites_103738","label":"source_bayareabites_103739"},"bayareabites_96584":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_96584","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"96584","score":null,"sort":[1433376692000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"drought-may-cost-californias-farmers-almost-3-billion-in-2015","title":"Drought May Cost California's Farmers Almost $3 Billion In 2015","publishDate":1433376692,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>California's drought isn't just turning green lawns brown or \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/droughtshaming\">#droughtshaming\u003c/a> into a trending topic.

But their diet tends to consist of food like cereal, corn, cassava and rice — high in calories and carbohydrates but not much else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even then, these people eat so little that the carbs barely fill their stomach with the calories they need. And they don't eat the vegetables, meat, fish and/or dairy products that provide ample protein, vitamin A, zinc, iron and iodine, says \u003ca href=\"http://agriculture.columbia.edu/about-us/people-at-agcenter/full_time_staff/psanchez/\">Pedro Sanchez\u003c/a>, director of Agriculture and Food Security Center at Columbia University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Hunger Does To The Body...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A person who is chronically hungry would feel more than just hunger pangs. The body produces less energy and develops a daily sense of weakness. \"They feel tired, they don't feel like they can perform their work optimally,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://publichealth.yale.edu/people/rafael_perez-escamilla.profile\">Rafael Perez-Escamilla\u003c/a>, a chronic disease epidemiologist at Yale University. \"They feel fatigued and a sense of apathy.\" He adds that the hunger can become so severe that a person barely has the ability to get up from bed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of nutrients is especially detrimental for children under 5, for whom hunger is the leading cause of death. Each year, hunger kills some \u003ca href=\"http://www.wfp.org/hunger/stats\">3.1 million\u003c/a> children under 5, accounting for 45 percent of child mortality within that age group. Those who survive suffer a lack of physical and mental development. Roughly 100 million are underweight, and 1 in 4 children are stunted, meaning their height is below the fifth percentile for their age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>... And To The Brain\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez-Escamilla warns that the physical consequences are only part of the problem. \"The vast majority of people facing chronic hunger cannot concentrate very well,\" he says. \"You start having a headache and getting into a bad mood, and you can't concentrate on your work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, he says, imagine that happening every day. Add the distress of not being able to provide for your family. He recalls a study in which he asked people what hunger meant. \"People talked about how hunger is the worst form of violence against human beings,\" he says. \"It's the worst thing that can happen to the dignity of a human being.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why Hunger Is Declining\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Against that stark backdrop of hunger and death comes the good news about a dropoff in world hunger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was basically in tears,\" says Pedro Sanchez of Columbia University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While he wasn't involved in this latest State of Food Insecurity report from the Food and Agriculture Organization, Sanchez coauthored another U.N. report back in 2005 laying out a \u003ca href=\"http://www.unmillenniumproject.org/documents/Hunger-lowres-complete.pdf\">series of recommendations\u003c/a> on how to cut hunger in half in the developing world. Its ambitious title: \"Halving Hunger: It Can Be Done.\" And 72 of 129 developing countries surveyed have met that goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's happened in huge countries with enormous populations such as Nigeria and Ethiopia, and also in [smaller] countries like Malawi, Ghana, Mali,\" he says. \"This is fantastic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first step is getting those calories in by filling their stomachs with \"maize, flour, rice and the like,\" says Sanchez. To curb vitamin and mineral deficiency, foods like protein-rich legumes (peanuts, beans and soybeans), milk, fish and meat should be introduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best way to do that, Sanchez says, is to in increase the yield of crops in small farming communities by providing seeds selectively bred to produce crops that can survive the harsh weather in some of these countries — as well as training small farmers to use manure and other fertilizers to improve the soil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And those small family farms made a difference. When they become more productive, there's more food on the table but and more income to buy other nutrient-rich foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also cites government programs for making a dent in hunger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Brazil, for example, says Rafael Perez-Escamilla at Yale. A multimillion-dollar program called Bolsa Familia rewards families with money for doing things like attending health and nutrition classes, sending kids to school and taking the family for checkups. And ideally, they can use the cash they receive to buy healthful food for the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Gets In The Way Of Cutting Hunger \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.N. report notes that the overall progress has been uneven. Some countries like India, Kenya and Liberia report little or no progress. \"With Somalia, with all sorts of civil wars, the government is worried about other things unfortunately,\" Sanchez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in Ebola-stricken countries like Liberia, the disease took a toll as did inadequate government response to the outbreak\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>adds Perez-Escamilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When Hunger Ends, Other Problems Begin\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If and when hunger is just a memory, other food-related problems will take its place. \"This is not an issue of just fattening people up,\" says Perez-Escamlla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In many countries, the problem now is becoming obesity,\" he says. \"The big challenge ahead is not only ensuring that everybody has enough calories but that we ensure that everyone has access to healthy diets — fruits, vegetables, fish — and significant reduction in the consumption of junk foods.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He points to Mexico, which has reduced hunger but has also become among the fattest countries in the world, with \u003ca href=\"http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3300e/i3300e.pdf\">a third\u003c/a> of adults reported as obese. \"What's happening in Latin America should not be happen in Africa,\" he says, where countries are starting to record high numbers of heart disease and diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez agrees that cutting hunger in half is only part of the battle. \"It's not a total victory,\" he says, \"but it's a tremendous thing that has happened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"That's the good news.

Roughly 100 million are underweight, and 1 in 4 children are stunted, meaning their height is below the fifth percentile for their age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>... And To The Brain\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perez-Escamilla warns that the physical consequences are only part of the problem. \"The vast majority of people facing chronic hunger cannot concentrate very well,\" he says. \"You start having a headache and getting into a bad mood, and you can't concentrate on your work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, he says, imagine that happening every day. Add the distress of not being able to provide for your family. He recalls a study in which he asked people what hunger meant. \"People talked about how hunger is the worst form of violence against human beings,\" he says. \"It's the worst thing that can happen to the dignity of a human being.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why Hunger Is Declining\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Against that stark backdrop of hunger and death comes the good news about a dropoff in world hunger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was basically in tears,\" says Pedro Sanchez of Columbia University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While he wasn't involved in this latest State of Food Insecurity report from the Food and Agriculture Organization, Sanchez coauthored another U.N. report back in 2005 laying out a \u003ca href=\"http://www.unmillenniumproject.org/documents/Hunger-lowres-complete.pdf\">series of recommendations\u003c/a> on how to cut hunger in half in the developing world. Its ambitious title: \"Halving Hunger: It Can Be Done.\" And 72 of 129 developing countries surveyed have met that goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's happened in huge countries with enormous populations such as Nigeria and Ethiopia, and also in [smaller] countries like Malawi, Ghana, Mali,\" he says. \"This is fantastic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first step is getting those calories in by filling their stomachs with \"maize, flour, rice and the like,\" says Sanchez. To curb vitamin and mineral deficiency, foods like protein-rich legumes (peanuts, beans and soybeans), milk, fish and meat should be introduced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best way to do that, Sanchez says, is to in increase the yield of crops in small farming communities by providing seeds selectively bred to produce crops that can survive the harsh weather in some of these countries — as well as training small farmers to use manure and other fertilizers to improve the soil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And those small family farms made a difference. When they become more productive, there's more food on the table but and more income to buy other nutrient-rich foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also cites government programs for making a dent in hunger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Brazil, for example, says Rafael Perez-Escamilla at Yale. A multimillion-dollar program called Bolsa Familia rewards families with money for doing things like attending health and nutrition classes, sending kids to school and taking the family for checkups. And ideally, they can use the cash they receive to buy healthful food for the family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Gets In The Way Of Cutting Hunger \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.N. report notes that the overall progress has been uneven. Some countries like India, Kenya and Liberia report little or no progress. \"With Somalia, with all sorts of civil wars, the government is worried about other things unfortunately,\" Sanchez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in Ebola-stricken countries like Liberia, the disease took a toll as did inadequate government response to the outbreak\u003cstrong>, \u003c/strong>adds Perez-Escamilla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When Hunger Ends, Other Problems Begin\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If and when hunger is just a memory, other food-related problems will take its place. \"This is not an issue of just fattening people up,\" says Perez-Escamlla.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In many countries, the problem now is becoming obesity,\" he says. \"The big challenge ahead is not only ensuring that everybody has enough calories but that we ensure that everyone has access to healthy diets — fruits, vegetables, fish — and significant reduction in the consumption of junk foods.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He points to Mexico, which has reduced hunger but has also become among the fattest countries in the world, with \u003ca href=\"http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3300e/i3300e.pdf\">a third\u003c/a> of adults reported as obese. \"What's happening in Latin America should not be happen in Africa,\" he says, where countries are starting to record high numbers of heart disease and diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez agrees that cutting hunger in half is only part of the battle. \"It's not a total victory,\" he says, \"but it's a tremendous thing that has happened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/96554/there-are-200-million-fewer-hungry-people-than-25-years-ago","authors":["byline_bayareabites_96554"],"categories":["bayareabites_3032","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_10916"],"tags":["bayareabites_14775","bayareabites_11497","bayareabites_449"],"featImg":"bayareabites_96555","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_96500":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_96500","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"96500","score":null,"sort":[1433174451000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"just-eat-it-demonstrates-a-widespread-system-of-food-waste","title":"'Just Eat It' Demonstrates a Widespread System of Food Waste","publishDate":1433174451,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>A couple weeks ago I made the Chili Shrimp recipe from Mark Bittman’s \u003cem>How to Cook Everything\u003c/em>.
