Podcasts about whyhunger

Jenique Jones describes how WhyHunger, an organization founded and supported by legendary musicians and led by her with vision and fervor, helps grassroots communities find transformative solutions to tackle the root causes of hunger around the world.

The influences of Africans and Black Americans on food and agriculture is rooted in ancestral African knowledge and traditions of shared labor, worker co-ops and botanical polycultures.  In this episode, we hear from Karen Washington and Bryant Terry on how Black Food culture is weaving the threads of a rich African agricultural heritage with the liberation of economics from an extractive corporate food oligarchy. The results can be health, conviviality, community wealth, and the power of self-determination. Featuring Karen Washington, co-owner/farmer of Rise & Root Farm, has been a legendary activist in the community gardening movement since 1985. Renowned for turning empty Bronx lots into verdant spaces, Karen is: a former President of the NYC Community Garden Coalition; a board member of: the NY Botanical Gardens, Why Hunger, and NYC Farm School; a co-founder of Black Urban Growers (BUGS); and a pioneering force in establishing urban farmers' markets. Bryant Terry is the Chef-in-Residence of MOAD, the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco, and an award-winning author of a number of books that reimagine soul food and African cuisine within a vegan context. His latest book is Black Food: Stories, Art and Recipes from Across the African Diaspora.  Credits Executive Producer: Kenny Ausubel Written by: Kenny Ausubel and Arty Mangan Senior Producer and Station Relations: Stephanie Welch Program Engineer and Music Supervisor: Emily Harris Producer: Teo Grossman Host and Consulting Producer: Neil Harvey Production Assistance: Monica Lopez Additional music: Ketsa Resources The Farmer and the Chef: A Conversation Between Two Black Food Justice Activists Karen Washington – 911 Our Food System Is Not Working Working Against Racism in the Food System Black Food: An Interview with Chef Bryant Terry The Food Web Newsletter This is an episode of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series.

Today, Clancy speaks with Jenique Jones, Executive Director of WhyHunger. She is a passionate advocate for food justice and has extensive experience in both the government and nonprofit sectors. You won't want to miss their discussion about the importance of community-led work, the intersectionality of food insecurity and social justice, and how access to nutritious food is a human right.

Send me a text!Learning self-advocacy to strengthen collective action is a critical component of sustainable social change. Those of us socialized as women are often conditioned to prioritize supporting others, which can make self-advocacy more difficult. However, by connecting to our own value and values, and speaking up for ourselves even when it's uncomfortable, we lead by example and inspire others to do the same. Cultivating this sense of self and worth strengthens our resilience, reducing fragility when engaging with diverse perspectives. It also empowers us to lead collaboratively and contribute to collective action, rather than remaining trapped in hierarchical, individualistic, and oppressive ways of being.In this episode of Unlimited, I invited Jenique Jones (she/her), Executive Director at WhyHunger, to join me in a conversation around social change through learning self-advocacy to strengthen collective action.Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:The impact of how you talk to yourselfAsking questions as advocacy for equityCollaborative vs authoritarian leadershipFood and music as bridges for connectionLINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:The Pressure to Love Your Job with Cristin DownsMicro-Actions to Manifest Big Change with Taina BrownDealing with Impostor SyndromeCONNECT WITH JENIQUE:Website LinkedIn WhyHunger InstagramWhyHunger TikTok CONNECT WITH VALERIE: Website Instagram Facebook Get email updatesSupport the show

Kristen, a descendant of the Nipmuc and Mashpee Wampanoag peoples, joins us to share her personal journey with Indigenous rematriation and the Eastern Woodland Rematriation Collective. This episode illuminates the group's mission to honor ancestral territories and matrilineal heritage, bringing to life the evolving process of rematriation. Kristen's insights offer a heartfelt exploration of reimagining our relationship with the land. We delve into the complex relationship between cultural heritage and environmental restoration, emphasizing the power of multi-generational thinking. Kristen's reflections bridge the gap between Western individualism and Indigenous collective responsibility, illustrating how ancestral teachings guide sustainable practices. Through stories of advocacy and renewed kinship with nature, listeners are invited to embrace long-term commitments to future generations. The conversation also underscores the indispensable role of Indigenous stewardship in preserving biodiversity—especially in the face of settler colonialism's impact on New England. As we navigate the path to food sovereignty, Kristen paints a vivid picture of the joys and challenges in reclaiming traditional knowledge amidst modern life's systemic barriers. We discuss the beauty of embracing our roles as mentors to the younger generation while appreciating the present moment's unique challenges. The impactful work of Eastern Wilderness Rematriation, supported by WhyHunger, underscores a shared journey towards environmental and cultural sustainability.

Now that Zach Wilson has been relegated to third string, Gio is feeling a sense of relief. We are moving on and Gio doesn't have to fight with the Zach apologists. But are we expecting the offense to get much better with Tim Boyle? A caller wants Tommy DeVito to do a Jersey Mikes commercial with Danny DeVito. Gio then brought up Danny DeVito posting pics of his ‘troll foot' on Twitter. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio talks about a pro golfer who somehow got 3 clubs stuck in a tree. Jerry has audio from the Eagles win over the Chiefs in KC. Jalen Hurts is not satisfied with regular season wins. The Chiefs had a huge TD drop with 1:45 to go. Rob Saleh met the media to talk about the benching of Zach Wilson. Mike McCarthy gets his offensive coordinator a white mocha or something. In the final segment of the hour, the Executive Director of Why Hunger, Jenique Jones, joins us to update us on the WFAN auctions. In breaking news, the Steelers have fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada.

Everyone loves Tommy DeVito because he's from NJ, but Tim Boyle is also a local guy from Connecticut. Gio's not sure what to make of the Dolphins right now. They haven't found that gear that they had a few weeks ago. Boomer said the Niners had a good rhythm, lost it, but found it again. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Kevin Harlan calling the huge drop by Valdes-Scantling of the Chiefs. Gio thinks it's dangerous that we laugh along with an unhealthy Andy Reid. In the final segment of the hour, we talked to the Executive Director of Why Hunger, Jenique Jones. A caller also thinks Tommy DeVito plays like Tua. Alrighty sir!

Hour 1 With the Chiefs losing last night and not looking great offensively this year, the AFC seems wide open right now. In the NFC, what team can go into Philly and beat the Eagles? It looks like just the Niners. We talked about the Steelers and Boomer said Kenny Pickett has the same problem as Zach Wilson: he can't process the game. The Chiefs had a huge drop with 1:45 remaining in the game when Patrick Mahomes hit Valdes-Scantling with what should have been a TD. The Chiefs have not scored in the second half in the last 3 games. The Jets have moved Zach Wilson to the number 3 quarterback and for some reason they are dressing him Friday against the Dolphins. Gio said it sounds like Saleh really wants to distance himself from Zach. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds from last night's Eagles win over the Chiefs. We heard from Hurts and Mahomes after the game. Rob Saleh talked about Zach reacting to the news of his benching. They will deal with his future in the offseason. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the autographed guitar signed by the NFL Today crew. We also talked about the only team that could go into Philly and beat the Eagles and that's the Niners. A caller thinks Phil Simms should auction off a pair of his lady glasses for Hungerthon.   Hour 2 Everyone loves Tommy DeVito because he's from NJ, but Tim Boyle is also a local guy from Connecticut. Gio's not sure what to make of the Dolphins right now. They haven't found that gear that they had a few weeks ago. Boomer said the Niners had a good rhythm, lost it, but found it again. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Kevin Harlan calling the huge drop by Valdes-Scantling of the Chiefs. Gio thinks it's dangerous that we laugh along with an unhealthy Andy Reid. In the final segment of the hour, we talked to the Executive Director of Why Hunger, Jenique Jones. A caller also thinks Tommy DeVito plays like Tua. Alrighty sir Hour 3 Now that Zach Wilson has been relegated to third string, Gio is feeling a sense of relief. We are moving on and Gio doesn't have to fight with the Zach apologists. But are we expecting the offense to get much better with Tim Boyle? A caller wants Tommy DeVito to do a Jersey Mikes commercial with Danny DeVito. Gio then brought up Danny DeVito posting pics of his ‘troll foot' on Twitter. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio talks about a pro golfer who somehow got 3 clubs stuck in a tree.

In the final segment of the hour, the Executive Director of Why Hunger, Jenique Jones, joins us to update us on the WFAN auctions. In breaking news, the Steelers have fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada.  Hour 4 Today is Hungerthon day and Boomer & Gio have agreed to have lunch with whoever wins the auction to come watch the show. Boomer hates a restaurant that won't let you modify your meal. We have audio of Mike McCann doing an update from years ago where Gio made him read a fake commercial for Trix cereal and White Castle. We also talked more about Tommy DeVito and the Giants and the benching of Zach Wilson (finally). A caller tried to bore us to death and we barely escaped. Gio said the Jets are like Home Alone 2, but now starring Tim Boyle. Jerry returns for an update but first we were all invited to a child's 1 year old birthday party on a Sunday during football season. Unfortunately we can't make it. Jerry has all the audio from last night's Eagles win over the Chiefs in KC. Charissa Thompson talked about being locked out of her house and how it's ok to pee outside. Gio trained his dog by peeing outside so that his dog could see him. Pete Hoffman caught up with Dexter Lawrence in the locker room after the game in Washington. The Moment of The Day involves Gio's Mike McCarthy impression ordering coffee for his offensive coordinator. In the final segment of the show, Boomer got his CBS Sports NFL stat pack and has some stats on QBs.

On this episode, host Kenneth Womack welcomes Grammy winner Kenny Loggins, whose songs have left a musical imprint on “the soundtrack of our lives.”  Over the last four decades, his chart-topping songs have included “This Is It,” “I'm Alright,” “Footloose," “Danger Zone,” and so many more. “Danger Zone” was featured once again in Paramount's “Top Gun: Maverick,” the biggest theatrical release of 2022, earning over $1.5B in box offices globally. “Danger Zone” earned over 1 million streams per day across streaming services at its peak. On June 14, 2022, Hachette Books published “Still Alright,” Loggins' long-awaited memoir. In “Still Alright,” Loggins gives fans a candid and entertaining perspective on his life and career as one of the most noteworthy musicians of the 1970s and '80s. In addition to his string of successful recordings, both solo and as a member of the famed duo Loggins & Messina, Kenny became the first major rock star to dedicate himself to recording music for children and families. His album “Return to Pooh Corner” remains the best-selling children's album of the last 20 years. His gift for crafting deeply emotional music is unparalleled, and it's been a part of his life as long as he can remember. His generous support of countless local organizations has made a lasting impact on the causes that are close to his heart. And in 2016, he was a recipient of the ASCAP Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award at the annual Chapin Awards hosted by WhyHunger. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/everythingfabfour/support

The influences of Africans and Black Americans on food and agriculture is rooted in ancestral African knowledge and traditions of shared labor, worker coops and botanical polycultures.  In this episode, we hear from Karen Washington and Bryant Terry on how Black Food culture is weaving the threads of a rich African agricultural heritage with the liberation of economics from an extractive corporate food oligarchy. The results can be health, conviviality, community wealth, and the power of self-determination. Featuring Karen Washington, co-owner/farmer of Rise & Root Farm, has been a legendary activist in the community gardening movement since 1985. Renowned for turning empty Bronx lots into verdant spaces, Karen is: a former President of the NYC Community Garden Coalition; a board member of: the NY Botanical Gardens, Why Hunger, and NYC Farm School; a co-founder of Black Urban Growers (BUGS); and a pioneering force in establishing urban farmers' markets. Bryant Terry is the Chef-in-Residence of MOAD, the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco, and an award-winning author of a number of books that reimagine soul food and African cuisine within a vegan context. His latest book is Black Food: Stories, Art and Recipes from Across the African Diaspora.  Resources The Farmer and the Chef: A Conversation Between Two Black Food Justice Activists Karen Washington – 911 Our Food System Is Not Working Working Against Racism in the Food System Black Food: An Interview with Chef Bryant Terry The Food Web Newsletter Credits Executive Producer: Kenny Ausubel Written by: Kenny Ausubel and Arty Mangan Senior Producer and Station Relations: Stephanie Welch Program Engineer and Music Supervisor: Emily Harris Producer: Teo Grossman Host and Consulting Producer: Neil Harvey Production Assistance: Monica Lopez Additional music: Ketsa This is an episode of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series.

Devin: What do you see as your superpower?Paul: I thought a little bit about this because I've obviously heard the podcast before. I'm going to go with the analogy, and I'm going to say x-ray vision. By that, I mean that I can see patterns and networks of people and organizations and see how you can connect them. Out of that connection will come something that's good for them, the people they serve, and society.Paul Katz, CEO and founder of Entertain Impact, describes his business as a “social impact agency, and we use popular culture for social change.”Polio EradicationSome of Paul's big wins have been working with Rotary International and the Gates Foundation on polio eradication. Impact Entertainment developed the “We're this close” campaign that engaged public figures around the world, signaling just how close we are to eradicating polio.This global campaign featured South Korea's Psy, who gained fame for his worldwide hit Gangnam style.Bill Gates also participated. (Bill was a guest on this show to discuss polio eradication.)Archie Panjabi, who starred in The Good Wife, also participated. (She was a guest on this show as a formal part of her work on this effort.)“If we can eradicate polio, it will be the only second human disease we've ever done after—I think smallpox was the first,” Paul notes.The work wasn't strictly limited to influencers. “We did some cool activities, activations, including what became a Guinness Book of World Records [record], where we had a certain number of influencers, whether it was Jane Goodall or it was a soccer player or an actor or whomever, just say ‘We're this close.' We eventually had, I think, over 130,000 people upload.”Paul says the goal isn't really in the activity. “What you're looking for is down the line is the impact.”Still thinking of polio, he lists the sort of questions he asks to determine whether the outreach has had an impact:* Does that have a bearing on persuading governments to continue the programs?* Does it give people in the field, the field workers, the very brave ones, especially in that corner where they're under threat—does it give them more motivation? * Do they get pride from seeing this, that they're acknowledged?Measurement“There are two different types of measurement,” Paul says. “There's the financial. Did you get a good return on investment? That's fairly easy to do.”“The social return on investment, which is what I'm very interested in—it's very difficult to measure that, but it's much, much better than it was ten years ago,” he says. “You can measure it in different ways.”By way of example, he offers, “We were doing a campaign for Europe where which gets people who have kind of graduated high school but haven't launched yet. It gets them internships and trains them. About 80% of them get jobs.”Of his firm's work, he says, “We have to be very careful to be accurate and credible in what we measure.” The thought applies almost universally to those working on and measuring impact.“If you take the Rotary campaign and the partners, you can say we were just the grain of sand on the beach of this,” Paul says. “I don't want to overstate it, but you can say they and polio are gone from Africa, and they're gone from India. So that's the big, big impacts that we're a very small part of.”Paul has strategically used his superpower for big impact over his career. He metaphorically calls it x-ray vision. He's talking about his ability to see strategic connections among people and situations—and then act on the vision.How to Develop X-Ray Vision As a SuperpowerPaul shared two specific examples of using his x-ray vision for significant impact.His first example:Very recently, I was chatting to these two organizations. I was involved through a friend of mine, Tom Chapin, with an organization called Whyhunger, which is founded by his brother Harry Chapin, who was a singer who died way, way too young. This wonderful organization deals with food insecurity. Under its new leadership, it has become much more of a social justice organization. So, I've been involved with them over the years. At the same time, we work very closely with SixDegrees.org, which is an organization that Kevin Bacon founded, based upon the game, and has done wonderful things under the leadership of Stacy Houston.Kevin was hosting a TV show that came out actually co-hosting with the precise TV show that came out in 2021. They were looking for a philanthropic partner. And because I knew both of them, I introduced them. So Six Degrees was kind of the executive producer of the show on CBS. Kevin and I were the hosts, and Whyhunger was one of the two partners. The other one is also an amazing organization called the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. They both were the partners.That raised about $7 million for the organization, which, you know, has a big impact on what the work that they can do. The reason it's so top of mind was I presented an award to Six Degrees on behalf of Whyhunger on Tuesday of this week. And that was very nice to see them acknowledged by their peers. So I think that's maybe one example of the connectedness. His second example:I come out of music, and I'm still involved in music. Some of that goes into the film business, especially with Participant Media, which is the company founded by Jeff Skoll that does documentaries like the Obama one or Malala or RBG and also Green Book and Spotlight—movies that are entertaining but have substance, which is what we do. We always try and wrap our stuff up in entertaining packages, so it gets on people's radar, but it has some seriousness in that. So because of my film music work, I know the guys at Pixar, so some of the guys, the marketing guy, and we put together a thing for the Grammys called the Grammy Music Education Coalition, which was basically a coalition of different organizations in the teaching music world. About 70 people, 70 organizations, I should say. We were all concerned with the lack of music in public schools, especially for what we now call BIPOC folk. I could go on a lot, but I know we have a short podcast, but suffice to say, music has social emotional benefits and intellectual benefits that we all know about in addition to academic ones. So, I reached out to Pixar. They were doing a movie—I don't know if you remember this movie called Coco. It was an animated movie about a kid whose grandfather was like the Elvis Presley of Mexico, but he wasn't allowed music. So that connection with the Grammys and the lack of music in the schools proved to be very powerful. Pixar was fantastic, and the Grammys were fantastic. We had 200,000 or 300,000 kids involved in the program, and donations and music platforms that were were utilized and broadened. I think it made some impact, especially in, I know, Nashville, for example, Chicago, Philadelphia and parts of California. So, this connecting people who've got amazing talent. In a way, it's in music. You do talent spotting, you know, you look for the next artist that's going to express themselves musically in a wonderful way. In a way, that's what I'm kind of doing in my philanthropic and social justice work.After hearing these illuminating examples of how he uses his x-ray vision to make strategic connections, I asked him for advice for developing this ability.Paul recently finished writing a book, Good Influence, How to Engage Influencers for Purpose and Profit, that will be published in February.He offered three tips for developing or strengthening x-ray vision:* Have empathy. “First of all, on a personal level, I need to learn to listen and make sure that I'm empathetic and other people's experiences I take into account.”* Be systematic. “Secondly, I'm involved with Made in Memphis Entertainment, a Black-owned, Black-run music business. Its social mission is to engage people who have got super talent, super character, just not the networks. Mentorship is a big part of what we do. So, I think that that's important that you're systemized about it—you think about it, and you implement some proper structures around it.”* Scale up. “What I'm trying to do [in the book] is inform people and give them confidence. Organizations of whatever size, anywhere in the world, can do this. So, that's trying to do it on a larger scale than just a one-on-one or within one organization. You've got individual, organizational and then hopefully a much broader perspective.”By following Paul's advice and his example, you can develop your x-ray vision into a superpower that will help you do more good in the world.

“Music is a time machine,” says Ben Gibbard, singer and guitarist of Death Cab for Cutie. Just a few bars of a beloved song can be transportative, an instant reminder of another time and place. “And if you've been that in someone's life, you have a responsibility to keep that material alive.” For Ben, that means continuing to honor and perform work from Death Cab for Cutie's back catalog—some of which he wrote when he was only twenty years old—while constantly pushing the band to new creative heights. On this episode of Object of Sound, Ben and Hanif talk about what it is like to live alongside the work we produce, and how our relationship to it changes as we grow up.

During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, much of the US was in lockdown. Many people had lost jobs or could not work from home during that time and struggled to pay their bills. Shortages of food and other basic necessities were common. Many people needed help during this time. Charitably-funded volunteer staff organizations like soup kitchens and food pantries suddenly found themselves on the front line of a massive ongoing food relief emergency. Many of them did heroic work. We're speaking today with the co-authors of a new report titled, "The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on US Hunger Relief Organizations, from August and November of 2020." Gizem Templeton is a researcher at Duke University's World Food Policy Center. Alison Cohen, formerly of WhyHunger, is a research consultant on the project. And Suzanne Babb is the director of US programs at WhyHunger. Interview Summary   So Gizem, let's begin with you. Can you tell our listeners about the survey itself and what WhyHunger hoped to accomplish through this work?   Gizem - Sure, Kelly. So as a research partner for WhyHunger, we wanted to survey hunger relief organizations, which are food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens, as well as hunger advocacy organizations during the pandemic in the summer of 2020. Our goals were twofold. First, we wanted to document what was happening in terms of pandemic impact and response. And second, we were interested to see what programmatic policy and food system recommendations they had for the future. All in all, over 240 hunger relief organizations from 39 states responded to our survey.   It was important to understand the impact on hunger relief organizations because these organizations are mostly dependent on charity donations of cash and food. Their operating budgets change from year to year. And, they're staffed largely by volunteers who tend to be older individuals. So as you can imagine, the COVID-19 pandemic created a range of daunting challenges for them.   You may probably recall the many media stories with photos of long lines of people trying to get food during the summer of 2020. The hunger relief organizations in our survey said that demand for food and other services increased significantly. We heard that people who used to donate money were coming in to get food themselves. And also, that many families were struggling simultaneously with job losses, housing issues, and reduced access to food. Hunger relief organizations did everything they could to stay open. And we saw a lot of innovation to meet the demand, in this survey.   I mean, there is no question that hunger relief organizations gave their all for our society during the pandemic, but in their own words, they also questioned the country's dependence on charitable donations to keep people fed. And survey responses highlight a need to strengthen the national social safety net and to focus on the root causes of hunger.   So Gizem, how did the hunger relief organizations grapple with these tremendous challenges during the pandemic?   Gizem - Yes, so first, all but two of the organizations who responded to our survey were able to remain open. But all of them had to make big changes very quickly to keep up with an almost overwhelming demand for food and new safety practices as more was learned about COVID. And we saw shifts to curbside pickup of food, some home delivery, and a few organizations were even able to offer client transportation for housebound individuals. Some hunger relief organizations made a shift to online ordering.   I would say the biggest challenge they faced was the loss of volunteers due to COVID risk. And they had to suspend some programming as a result of that. Many surveyed organizations said some of their volunteers and staff contracted the virus during this time. Another challenge was not enough refrigeration space for perishable food and storage for shelf stable food as the volume of food coming in increased to meet the demand.   And a big challenge, I would say, the organizations at times struggle with a lack of communication and coordination from the government that would've allowed them to prepare for changes to regulations, safety protocols, and federally sponsored programs like the Farmers to Families Food Boxes.   In terms of what helped them meet the demand, I would say philanthropic funding was key. Charitable funding for emergency food surged during this time and partnerships within and outside of the hunger relief world and increased local coordination were also big contributors to success.   It is clear that the hunger relief organizations did incredible work to support our society during this chaotic time. But we have to ask ourselves, does it make sense in a country as wealthy as ours that so many people had to turn to charity in order to have enough food?   So Alison, in your view, what were the most surprising and the most troubling and even the most hopeful things that you uncovered in the survey?   Alison - Well, I think the survey uncovered both troubling and hopeful things given that the entire emergency food system was thrown practically overnight into crisis mode. Because of the pandemic, we witnessed every single hunger relief organization pushed to its limits. And the ways in which the system was taxed during this time is not surprising given that for many working families, the local food bank has become a kind of free grocery store that helps to plug the holes in household finances year round.   For many decades now, the rate of food insecurity has not fallen below 11%. Food insecurity is, unfortunately, a way of life for far too many households. And as Gizem said, a majority saw an increase in need.   What we need to pay attention to is the way in which this increase in need was confounded by other issues that for many, were not experienced by or visible to hunger relief organizations before the pandemic. For instance, these organizations struggled with the government's response to the pandemic, particularly the inconsistency and unpredictability of the response. The government, of course, was dealing with this magnitude of crisis for the first time itself. More than 70% of HROs said that in order to fill the gaps in government support, they turned to their own forms of communication and coordination with funders, local farmers and growers and other stakeholders, other community organizations.   This survey was unique in that we queried first responders, so to speak, to a food security crisis unlike anything we've experienced in the US at that scale. And our findings in the survey add to the reports and stories in the media, those that we all heard and saw, of the miles long lines of cars waiting in parking lots to receive food and the millions of people who found themselves needing a food bank for the very first time in their lives. And all of that exposed how inadequately we, as a society, are addressing the economic precarity of a majority of American households. And therefore, how in sufficiently we are working to end hunger in food insecurity in one of the wealthiest countries in the world.   But Kelly, it wasn't all doom and gloom. There was a lot of hope, I think, that came through in the survey. And what I found particularly hopeful is that hunger relief organizations overwhelmingly embrace the both end of their missions. That is to ensure that folks who need it get healthy food now and to ultimately end food insecurity. And based on their responses, they have a multifaceted understanding of what it will take to do both and what the role in it should be. And I think that's an incredibly hopeful point and something we should pay attention to.   Well above 60% of hunger relief organizations identified dependence on volunteer staff, dependence on individual and corporate donations as issues to be addressed. They also cited lack of government support and solutions to address the root causes of hunger such as unaffordability of healthy food, low wage jobs, unresilient food supply chains, and they called out as problematic the persistence of inequitable access to healthy food is a manifestation of structural racism in the food system.   But their clarity on where the deficiencies are in the system doesn't end there. They have a strong vision for what they want to see happen and their role in it. These organizations are calling for increased sustainable and more flexible funding so they can get healthy food to people in the most dignified way possible. They're also calling for a stronger social safety net. They want to see the increases that were legislated during the pandemic become permanent features of the social safety net, including universal free school meals. And they're also advocating for snap changes such as more flexibility and broader access. And they're calling for the descaling of government food nutrition programs. Instead, advocating for programs that address the intersections of food security, affordable housing, mental health, living wages, and childcare among other issues.   One respondent wrote in the following response, which was repeated by other respondents in their right end responses as well: "People need living incomes, ones that make it possible to provide both food and shelter. Emergency food network should not be used to prop up an inadequate system of income support."   You know, Allison, as I'm listening to you, it's so clear that this was an enormous challenge with so many implications for looking back on what was done and thinking about the future and what might be done. So it's really helpful to have you talk about some of the permanent changes that could help for us stall or even avoid such a terrible crisis should something like this happen again.   So, Suzanne, let me ask you. The report presents the perspective that the US relies too much on charitable food, but if there's philanthropic support out there for the charitable food system, why is this such a problem?   Suzanne - Well, there are couple of reasons for that. I think, firstly, the charitable food system cannot meet the need. I think then it's important to think about what the charitable food system is based on, and although it has the best of intentions and is trying to fill a need, the majority of the system props up this dysfunctional system that relies on corporate waste. And far too often, these corporate donations are highly processed, filled with high fructose corn syrup, and are lacking in nutrition. And this helps to contribute to increased rates of chronic disease like diabetes and heart disease that disproportionately impact low income and BIPOC people. Also, the corporations that benefit from these tax write-offs in the process are notoriously the low wage employers who don't pay people enough money and whose staff rely on food stamps and charitable food to feed their own families.   Another reason is that the right to healthy and nutritious food is a basic human right and governments bear responsibility to their citizens to fulfill these human rights. But the US has slowly reduced its role in fulfilling that responsibility, and instead have been putting it in the hands of charitable organizations that have been vulnerable, always relying on donations and volunteers. And this is just not a sustainable system.   The US hasn't codified the right to food federally. There's one state, the state of Maine that has done so in their constitution in 2021. And there are other states that are organizing and strategizing to do the same. I think, lastly, it's important to remember that hunger is a symptom of poverty and poverty is a created condition. And the government has played a role in creating this condition and has a responsibility to be a part of the solution.   Thanks, Suzanne. So Alison, let me ask you one final question. The report offers up quite a wide range of recommendations for hunger relief organizations, also for philanthropy and for the federal government. Can you provide examples of organizations who are already implementing some of the recommendations? Could you talk about these and the opportunities that you see for a sustainable change?   Alison - Yes, yes, I'd love to. And I think that's a really important part of the report and there's much more in the report than I can say here during the podcast. So I would encourage folks to really take a look at the report, to hear more details, and to learn about very specific organizations and actions and activities that are happening.   So first, as Suzanne mentioned, yes, there's a historical over-reliance on the charitable food system and that has gotten out of balance. Hunger relief organizations, philanthropy, and the government all have a role to play in correcting that imbalance. Some 50 years ago, these organizations were designed to be temporary and crisis related, but what's emerged is a system that continues to need more and more bricks and mortar to mediate what has become a stagnant and alarming rate of food insecurity. And as we see in the results of the survey, many hunger relief organizations are expanding their strategies to include helping clients get access to government nutrition programs and policy and advocacy to improve federal nutrition programs. And a smaller, but I think growing subset of these organizations are beginning to address root causes of food insecurity such as low wages, poor working conditions, structural racism is a part of their mission.   For example there's a soup kitchen called Neighbors Together that has been operating in Brooklyn, New York for more than 30 years. About 10 or so years ago, they began engaging clients in determining their own advocacy agendas through what they called their community action program. Their participants, all of whom are patrons of the soup kitchen, identified insufficient wages and barriers to safe and affordable housing as primary reasons they required ongoing food assistance. So they organized others in their neighborhood and are currently advocating with the city of New York and the state of New York to implement policies that address housing and wages.   And in Washington State, the state's largest independent hunger relief agency known as Northwest Harvest is working to shift public opinion and change policies and practices that perpetuate hunger, poverty, and disparities while advocating for a right to food framing for statewide policies. They're one of the states that is really engaged in hoping to amend their constitution to include the right to food as Suzanne mentioned earlier.   And one last example, and again, the report contains many others, is the Black Church Food Security Network. Their mission is to ensure food security in Black communities by addressing racial and economic injustices. And they do this by co-creating sustainable local food systems in partnership with Black churches, Black farmers, and Black business owners. It's really remarkable.   So as the COVID-19 crisis continues to reshape public life around the globe, it's not over yet, unfortunately. The results of this survey strongly support the fact that we have an opportunity to organize and protect everyone's most basic human rights, nutritious food. And really, not just in response to COVID-19, but as a springboard to a social and political economy that puts people and planet first.   Bios   Gizem Templeton is a Research Associate at the World Food Policy Center at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy.

The legendary guitarist Carlos Santana is renowned for his unique sound and a legacy of best-selling albums. He's sold over 100 million records since his 1960s debut, winning numerous lifetime achievement awards, Grammys, and accolades. But this soulful musician isn't resting on his laurels. He continues to tour, create new music, and headline a multi-year residency at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Santana has now expanded his brand to offer Mirayo, a line of cannabis products produced in partnership with Left Coast Ventures. His current musical collaboration with his wife and drummer Cindy Blackman Santana is focused on celebrating the diverse sounds of blues, funk, jazz, rock, and pop. A recent release, their rendition of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Imagine, is donating 100% of streaming profits to WhyHunger's Rapid Response Fund. The fund was established to combat the global hunger crisis that has only intensified as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. When Cannabis & Tech Today connected with the legendary performer, he was nestled in his Hawaiian estate, enjoying some downtime from what is, by anyone's standard, a jam-packed schedule for a 72-year-old entertainer.  In this exclusive interview, Santana shares his soul. He discusses how he is grieving the loss of his brother, why the Black Lives Matter movement is ushering in a new wave of consciousness, and how cannabis has always been part of his cultural and spiritual identity.

Este episódio de número 100 é sobre uma instituição que ganhou os prêmios Chapin Awards - da organização americana WhyHunger - de conservação ambiental (2016), por Produção Sustentável do Community Food Security Coalition (2011) e do Whitley Gold Award (2002), um dos mais importantes prêmios ambientais do mundo. Também é o maior produtor de arroz orgânico da América Latina e de hortifruti orgânicos do Brasil; sua estrutura é organizada em 100 cooperativas, 96 agroindústrias e 1,9 mil associações, envolvendo cerca de 350 mil famílias em 700 municípios brasileiros. Essa instituição não é uma startup unicórnio nem uma multinacional com práticas ESG - estou falando do MST. O tão demonizado Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra é um dos grandes realizadores da agroecologia no Brasil, produzindo toneladas de alimentos livres de venenos em centenas de assentamentos. Alguns são tão bem organizados que lançam marcas próprias, como os assentadas da Reforma Agrária no Rio Grande do Sul que, em 2021, colocaram no mercado sua marca de alimentos orgânicos Terra LIvre, que inclui arroz, sucos, geleias, molho e extrato de tomate. O MST conta também com os Armazéns do Campo, lojas que vendem seus produtos a preços acessíveis (e funcionam como ponto de encontro e troca de informação entre os agricultores), além de mercado online (armazemdocampo.com.br/). Mas e esse papo deles roubarem terra que tem dono? De serem arruaceiros que querem implementar o comunismo? Bom, nada melhor para combater fake news do que os fatos. Para isso, conversamos com Carla Bueno, engenheira agrônoma. Carla colabora no Setor de Produção do Movimento Sem Terra, faz parte das Campanhas Permanente contra os Agrotóxicos e Gente é pra Brilhar , não pra morrer de Fome e Compõe o Grupo de Trabalho em Biodiversidade da Articulação Nacional de Agroecologia do movimento.

Due out February 18th, on Yoko Ono's 89th birthday, the Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono podcast will accompany the compilation tribute album of the same name. Imagined and curated by Benjamin Gibbard (lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of Death Cab for Cutie), the LP celebrates the extraordinary work of multimedia artist, singer, songwriter and activist Yoko Ono with new renditions of her songs by an array of brilliant artists including (in order of their voices in the trailer): David Byrne, Japanese Breakfast, The Flaming Lips, Thao, and Death Cab for Cutie, as well as Sharon Van Etten, Deerhoof, Yo La Tengo, Stephin Merritt (of Magnetic Fields), We Are KING, Amber Coffman, Jay Som, Sudan Archives and U.S. Girls. These new interpretations of her work accentuate Ono's powerful artistic impact, lasting cultural relevance, and utterly unique approach to songcraft. Hosted by Gibbard and journalist Jenny Eliscu, the Ocean Child podcast features interviews with contributors about their own meaningful connections to Ono's music and art, whether it's David Byrne describing the influence of Ono's book Grapefruit on his Broadway show American Utopia, or The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne describing what it's like to work with Ono, or Japanese Breakfast's Michelle Zauner examining how her own Asian identity affects her relationship with Ono's songs, or Gibbard remembering picking up a vinyl copy of Ono's Season of Glass at a record store years ago, and feeling stopped in his tracks by its beauty, from the very first listen. As he explains, “Her songwriting has been criminally overlooked. This is an artist whose output has run the gamut from avant-garde to bubblegum pop, often across a single album. She has consistently created melodies as memorable as those of the best pop writers. As a lyricist, she has always written with poignance, sophistication and deep introspection. It is my sincere hope that a new crop of Yoko Ono fans fall in love with her songwriting due in some small part to this album we have put together.” On Spotify, thanks to their awesome Music + Talk feature, the Ocean Child podcast will also feature renditions from the Ocean Child album, along with some of Ono's original versions. A portion of the album's proceeds will be donated to WhyHunger, a non-profit organization Ono has supported for decades in their efforts to transform our food system by building social justice and striking at the root causes of hunger and poverty.

The food system does not serve everyone equally. Hunger is rooted in systems of inequity, including systemic and structural racism. Structural racism is at the root of hunger and the health disparities we see in the US today. In this episode, we'll talk to Suzanne Babb about the impacts of historical policies on the food security of communities of color. Suzanne is co-director of US programs at WhyHunger.org, New York. She is also an urban farmer and founding member of Black Urban Growers. Interview Summary   So Suzanne, could you start out by explaining to us the meaning of the term structural racism and how it impacts black indigenous in communities of color today?   - Sure. So I'm going to use a definition from Dr. Camara Jones, a public health researcher who talks about the impacts of racism on health. So she starts out by defining institutional racism, which is the systems of policies, practices, norms, and values that result in differential access to goods, services, and opportunities in society by race. So how that shows up is inherited disadvantage, in this case, Black, Indigenous, and people of color, and inherited advantage, and in this case, in the US it is white people who have that advantage. And the way that this gets manifested is in terms of material conditions and access to power. So we're looking at access to housing, education, employment opportunities, income inequality, different access to medical facilities, access to a clean environment, access to power through information, resources, and voice like in the media. So laying that out when we're talking about structural racism, structural racism is about how these policies and institutions act together to lead and produce barriers to opportunity and lead to racial disparity. So for example, we could take the mass incarceration of Black men and women. That is a relationship between the education system, the whole quote to prison pipeline between the criminal justice system and between the media that often perpetuates the myths about black people and criminality.   Thank you so much for laying that out for us so clearly. It's important to remember for us that the structures we have today are the result of our multitude of historical insults. What are some key historical flash points to keep in mind when we think about the relationship between hunger and the right to food?   I think there are two big ones that I can give in as an example as historical insults. The first one would be the dispossession and murder of Indigenous people in populations of their natural resources beginning in the 15th century. And then also the transatlantic slave trade where millions of West Africans were kidnapped, enslaved and shipped across the Atlantic Ocean, sold as chattel to do backbreaking labor from the middle of the 15th century to the end of the 19th century. And this is important because this is the beginning of where oppression and structural racism began for these groups of people, and that policies and practices have just been created and evolved to continue that oppression.   So over the last century there've been a number of policies or specific political acts that have shaped the US food system and negatively impacted the right to food for communities of color. I wonder if you can identify for us some of those key political actions.   Yes, so I'll identify three areas: the Social Security Act of 1935, several USDA farm policies with impact particularly on BIPOC farmers, and urban planning and neighborhoods; and the National Housing Act of 1934.   Let's now take each one of those policies one at a time, beginning with maybe the Social Security Act. Tell us a little bit about how that Social Security Act affected the food security of communities of color?   So the Social Security Act was created to protect Americans by providing folks in their old age, survivors and folks who have been disabled insurance; so payment in those times when they're no longer able to work. But what happened was during that time, it excluded domestic and agricultural workers. And 60% of the Black labor force were domestic and agricultural workers. That was completely intentional. Then domestic workers were included in 1950 and agricultural workers were included in 1954. But that left out a generation of people who couldn't accumulate family wealth or couldn't get their basic needs met during that time when they could no longer work because of age or disability. And so if they had hunger or food insecurity already because they probably weren't earning enough money, that was further perpetuated by not being able to access social security.   So the Social Security Act created into generational sort of oppression, increasing the combined food insecurity for communities of color. Now, I wonder how the USDA farm policies also operated as structures of racism?   If we look at the way in which the USDA gives out subsidies, for many decades, they have given out billions of federal subsidies to companies and large scale farms that produce corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, corn starch, and soy. And we may know now that a lot of those products end up in food, and they help to perpetuate chronic health diseases. And so these processed foods end up in neighborhoods of color and poor neighborhoods at a higher proportion than white wealthy neighborhoods. So not only are we impacting farmers, we're impacting the health of the communities in which receive the end product of this. Now most farmers of color usually farm what's called specialty crops, which is fruits and vegetables and livestock. These types of crops are not eligible for the commodity programs and receive way less government support. And even when you look at the support that they do get, there is some racial discrimination there. So for example, the Haas Institute said that white farmers that grow specialty crops receive a payment of about $10,000 per farm, while Black farmers receive an average of about $5,000 per farm.   So not only are communities of color restricted in buying food, but also heavily restricted in growing their own food through these political actions. Now, when it comes to urban planning, can you talk to us a little bit about the impact that urban planning policies have on neighborhoods and communities?   So I'll talk about the National Housing Act 1934, which was implemented by the Federal Housing Administration. And the purpose of this was to promote home ownership and launch many Americans into the middle class. The FHA provided loans to people so that they could purchase houses, but many people of color were largely left out. In fact, about 2% of these FHA loans were made to nonwhite buyers. What the FHA did was they gave certain neighborhoods different credit ratings. And often what they would do is if you were a suburban or a white neighborhood, you got a higher credit rating than a more ethnically diverse or economically unstable neighborhood, which tended to get lower credit ratings; which made them seem more risky and they had less chance of getting loans. Now we know home ownership is how people get launched into middle class and are able to accumulate generational wealth. So the inability to do this left people of color without that ability to accumulate generational wealth. And this policy also has four major ways in that it impacted people's lives. So because a lot of the folks who received the loans were then moving into the suburbs and out of the cities, many policies favored building roads and highways into these new suburbs and then drove divestment away from public transportation in cities, which people in the cities, mostly people of color needed to get to jobs and to grocery stores. The relocation of homeowners also meant that they drove out grocers and other retail operations into the suburbs, and that people lost access to employment and also lost access to good places to get food. Local farmland was also lost because of the creation of these new suburbs. So you had to go even further out for folks to be able to get access to good fresh food in the city. And then also they lost a strong property tax base, which led to a decline in public school investment, which included quality school food programs.   Thank you for laying that out so clearly for us. I think it really gives us a sense of how these structures of racism operate almost in invisible ways to reduce the power and food security of communities of color. To end with, I'd like to ask you a question about power in communities of color. What are some ways in which black indigenous and people of color are pushing back against these structures of racism?   There's so many different ways! As we said at the beginning, institutional racism and structural racism are about policies and practices. And so BIPOC communities are taking action in those same ways. So if we're looking right now at critical policies, folks are really lifting up the emergency relief for BIPOC farmers, act that came out of the American Rescue Plan, and the legislation that has been presented around justice for Black farmers. There's also been a really big movement towards connecting to land. There's the Land Back movement, which is a movement organizing to get indigenous land back in the hands of indigenous people and communities. And a lot of folks are bringing up again reparations, which is recognizing the centuries of the government and corporations profiting off of the harm that they've inflicted on black people. But if we're looking particularly at food sovereignty, some of the ways that BIPOC folks are building power is through healing that connection to the land. And a lot of that looks through buying the land and stewarding that land communally and cooperatively. It's looking at more people going back to farming, to foraging, to hunting in the ways of their ancestors and honoring those practices and knowledge. It looks like seed saving. It looks like many people growing herbal medicine and using those practices because of the differential access to health care that folks have. It looks like defending the rights of mother earth, defending the land and water and see if you've seen many defenses against pipelines by indigenous communities. And it also, I think more importantly, all of these are part of looking at different economic structures that are not exploitative or extractive. You know, really looking at solidarity economies and things like just transition.   Bio:   Suzanne Babb is Director of US Programs, Nourish Network for the Right to Food.
