Food Sovereignty is a philosophy of life. It offers a vision for our collective future, and defines the principles around which we organize our daily living and co-exist with Mother Earth. It is a celebration of life and all the diversity around us. It embraces every element of our cosmos; the sky above our heads, the land beneath our feet, the air we breathe, the forests, the mountains, valleys, farms, oceans, rivers and ponds. It recognizes and protects the inter-dependency between eight million species that share this home with us. We inherited this collective wisdom from our ancestors, who ploughed the […]

The 2021 Global Hunger Index (GHI), published on Thursday, revealed soaring levels of hunger among the poor and working populations around the globe. The foreword, written by the heads of Welthungerhilfe and Concern Worldwide, the organizations responsible for the GHI, stated that the report “points to a dire hunger situation, a result of the toxic cocktail of the climate crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and increasingly severe and protracted conflicts.” Rising […]

Longtime residents find themselves forced to compete against the “urban food machine,” writes Pascale Joassart-Marcelli. Everybody, it seems, welcomes the arrival of new restaurants, cafés, food trucks and farmers markets. What could be the downside of fresh veggies, homemade empanadas and a pop-up restaurant specializing in banh mis? But when they appear in unexpected places – think inner-city areas populated by immigrants – they’re often the first salvo in a broader effort to rebrand and remake the community. As a result, […]

Teaching students where food comes from is part of the solution. Baltimore, MD – As a “farm to school specialist” in the Baltimore City public schools, Anne Rosenthal splits her time between an office and Great Kids Farm in Catonsville, a 33-acre plot of land, complete with forests, a stream, greenhouses and a barn with animals, owned and operated by the school district. “A lot of students have never had […]
“Regenerative agriculture provides answers to the soil crisis, the food crisis, the climate crisis, and the crisis of democracy.” – Dr. Vandana Shiva, Co-Founder Regeneration International Regenerative agriculture and holistic livestock management represent the next, crucial stage of organic food and farming, not only avoiding toxic pesticides, fertilizers, sewage sludge, GMO seeds, and excessive greenhouse gas emissions, but regenerating soil fertility, water retention, carbon sequestration, and rural livelihoods as well. Regeneration has now become the hottest topic in the natural and organic food sector. At the same time, climate activists regularly discuss the role of organic and regenerative practices in reducing agricultural greenhouse […]
Above Photo: Elvert Barnes. New York City’s 65,000+ food delivery workers were celebrated as essential workers throughout the pandemic. But according to a damning new study, they aren’t actually being treated that way—instead, they routinely earn low wages well below New York’s minimum wage, lack basic labor and employment protections, and face dangerous working conditions on the streets of NYC. The report released this week, which was conducted by advocacy group Worker’s Justice Project in partnership with Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, is a four-month-long survey (December 2020-April 2021) of 500 app-based workers throughout the five boroughs, many of whom work […]
Large corporations and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation took over the United Nations Food Systems Summit, abandoning small farmers on behalf of Big Ag companies, endangering food sovereignty.

The World Economic Forum and Gates Foundation are convening a food summit through the United Nations on September 23. Global farmer, peasant and fishing coalitions have called a boycott of the summit for its pro-corporate agenda, refusal to include the human right to food and exclusion of the intergovernmental body, the Committee on World Food Security, that has created an inclusive and democratized international structure.

Terms such as “veggie burger” and “veggie sausage” for plant-based food items could potentially be banned, if farming and meat industry lobbyists have their way. The European parliament will vote on the proposal next week. The veggie blacklist would also include such terms as “yoghurt-style” and “cheese-like” for dairy-free alternatives. The vote is expected next Tuesday, when the latest Common Agricultural Policy will go to a plenary vote. Lobbyists say the terms mislead consumers, with European agricultural trade body Copa-Cogeca going so far as to suggest they amount to “an obvious case of cultural hijacking,” in a recent statement. The agri-cooperative […]

The organization has received the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its contribution to feeding the world and acting as a driving force in “efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict.” The Nobel Committee noted that there has been an upsurge in the number of victims of hunger due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was also remarked that the Nobel Committee recognized the link between hunger and conflict and commended the World Food Programme for its ongoing commitment to “bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas”.

If it was up to me and my tastebuds, I’d eat just about anything on this green earth. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to wheat, caffeine makes my back hurt, most milk replacements bother my stomach, and Stevia makes me depressed. For all of those (weird) reasons, I’ve had a hard time with health drinks. Then, one fateful day while I was scrolling through Facebook, I saw an ad for something called Ka’Chava. Meal replacement shakes all promise the same things — tons of nutrients, delicious taste, easy to prepare, and capable of satiating your hunger — so what made this one different? […]

Sitting on the rear seat of a car, the moment the child hands out the inviting-looking receptacle to the cow, it digs its face in it. Without apparently reaching for the food, the cow pulls […]

A California man has been convicted of assault and battery for sexual purposes after prosecutors claimed that he became obsessed with a female co-worker and planted his semen in her water bottle and food jar and smeared the substance on her computer. Orange County Superior Court Judge Kathleen Roberts ruled on Monday that 30-year-old Palmdale, California, resident Stevens Millancastro was guilty of numerous counts of misdemeanor assault and battery toward a coworker, the Orange County Register reported.

There’s a lot of fancy cooking items out there these days. Sous vides, Instant Pots, pizza ovens are all well and good, but what about the items we use most in the kitchen?

It’s a strange time for restaurants to say the least, and it’s certainly an even stranger time to write a memoir about a life spent in them.

Throughout the memoir, Chang details his […]

I love my water bottle. It’s something I always have by my side, whether I’m working, exercising, or just hanging out. Staying hydrated is important.

Soon enough, you peek inside, and see that the once pristine stainless steel has turned brown, and you need to clean the bottle ASAP. Cleaning a water […]

Then, on Tuesday, the food collective announced an abrupt closure. Someone was impersonating the group and swindling money, members said. Riot Ribs was among an emerging network of mutual aid groups aimed at distributing free food to protesters and the homeless in Portland and Seattle, where rage over the police killing of George Floyd, racism, and U.S. law-enforcement has resulted in months of marches. But Riot Ribs’ sudden dissolution—the result of a former […]
Health Editor’s Note: With not reporting coronavirus outbreaks, three food companies have earned the ‘right’ to be closed.

Try having a debate about religion. Go ahead. I’ll wait. How did it go? Poorly, I bet. For whatever reason, religion is often “off the table” when it comes to the serious examination of its impact on society. If one does attempt to debate religion’s place in the world with the devout, it often unravels into combative condescension and eventually ends with clenched fists topped off with a ridiculous non-statement like, Well, you just got to have faith! What does this have to do with a religion that worships a Flying Spaghetti Monster? Everything. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster […]

EFE. On May 14, the Central Bank of Venezuela sued the Bank of England to obtain its gold bars. The United Kingdom’s High Court Thursday decided that opposition lawmaker Juan Guaido can access 31 tons of Venezuelan gold held in the Bank of England, which prevents President Nicolas Maduro’s administration from using those resources to fight the pandemic. The ruling about this monetary reserve valued at over US $ 1 […]
Couriers from two of Russia’s major food delivery companies, sporting their branded uniforms, were filmed engaging in a fight in Moscow… apparently to the disappointment of hungry customers waiting for their orders. The ‘battle’ took place in a McDonald’s parking lot and involved the employees of Delivery Club in green and Yandex.Eda in yellow. В Москве сегодня произошла разудалая битва между курьерами двух домов: дома Яндекса и дома Деливери. Бились между собой больше 30 человек. Причину драки выяснить вряд ли получится — все курьеры разбежались, а в больницу никто не обращался. Околофутбол стал очень странным. pic.twitter.com/8afLz0MqKa — baza (@bazabazon) July 2, […]
A Chattanooga restaurant was viciously harassed and threatened with arson after a local news station incorrectly reported they had donated food to a pro-police rally, ultimately forcing them to cancel the catering order. A caller threatened to burn down Shuford’s Smokehouse last week after a news outlet mistakenly reported that the 33-year-old Chattanooga barbecue spot had donated food for a pro-police ‘Back the Blue’ rally to be held that Saturday. It was far from the only threatening phone call the restaurant received, but it was enough to convince them to cancel the $1,000 order. Also on rt.com Tennessee newspaper apologizes after […]

I’m an immigrant—and I’m not alone. Padma Lakshmi opens each episode of her new Hulu series Taste the Nation with that mantra, and it’s one that’s powering the food author and TV host during the Trump administration’s all-out war on immigrants, from the “Muslim ban” and separating children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border to the recent suspension of immigrant-worker visas through 2021. “I find this disconnect between the policies that are made in Washington and how they actually affect people on the ground,” says Lakshmi. “I think it should be a requirement for each of these lawmakers deciding on […]

On Saturday, the US Justice Department confirmed the arrest of Colombian-born Venezuelan national Alex Saab, a businessman involved in procuring foodstuffs for a Venezuelan food distribution and subsidies program known as ‘Local Committees for Supply and Production (Spanish acronym CLAP), in Cape Verde. The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry has issued a communique denouncing the arbitrary, irregular and illegal arrest of businessman Alex Saab, calling the detention a violation of international law. “This action that violates international law and norms, clearly corresponds to the acts of aggression and harassment against the Venezuelan people, carried out by the Government of the United States of […]
The US Treasury slapped the businessman with sanctions last July, accusing him of involvement in a corruption scheme involving a Venezuelan program to produce and distribute food to impoverished communities. The program was started in 2016, partly as a result of food shortages stemming from US pressure on the Latin American nation. Authorities in Cape Verde have arrested Venezuela-affiliated Colombian businessman Alex Saab, the US Justice Department announced Saturday. Saab, formally charged with spearheading a money laundering and bribery scheme in Venezuela by the US last July, was said to have been arrested on the basis of an Interpol red notice […]

Going to the grocery store used to be my favorite activity. Now, because I’ve been cooking more and trying to go less, it feels like a mad dash to get everything I need, instead of the calming activity it once was.

From filets of fish to prime choice steaks, here are some of the best meat delivery options out there. FOR A SUPERB STRIP STEAK Rastelli’s […]
The coronavirus outbreak has forced some farmers and producers to do as was done during the Great Depression and simply get rid of their products or consider measures to prevent them from rotting amid lack of demand. When the pandemic just began to infect counties one by one, people rushed to hoard supplies – from toilet paper to food – fearing shortages in the future. After the initial shock faded and parts of those ‘doomsday’ stockpiles ended up in the trash bin untouched, another problem emerged – too much food was left in the hands of the producers, forcing them to […]
Amongst those who know, Diana Kennedy is understood to be the English-speaking world’s authority on traditional Mexican cooking. But not many people—particularly not many people outside of Mexico—know. In the documentary Diana Kennedy: Nothing Fancy, digitally streamable now and available on demand June 19, director Elizabeth Carroll, a foodie herself, pays close attention to the woman who has for decades evaded celebrity status while carefully and faithfully putting on record what is today one of the most popular cuisines in the world. It’s a film that offers much wisdom to my generation of creative and passionate cooks, pressured by an ever-intensifying […]
These days, we’re all looking online for a sense of normalcy. We’re ordering groceries, necessities, clothing, to keep us living our lives like it was before quarantine (the best of our abilities). There’s one aspect that I didn’t think about until I was stuck inside: stopping at my favorite bakery for a pastry. While everyone else is trying to bake bread, I can barely get cookies to work out, so my only option is to look to the gods of the World Wide Web. Some of my local favorites are doing delivery, but they sell out quickly. That’s where Etsy comes […]

Five years ago, farmer Damas Nunez had reached a point of economic desperation. He had decided the best option to feed his family was to flee north to the United States from Honduras, despite the risks involved. He made a farewell visit to a friend with a farm in the upper Cangrejal Valley and was astounded to see a beautiful crop of corn and a large stack of firewood, […]
Dinara Kasko, a Ukrainian baker and an architect by training, used a 3D printer to create cake molds with motifs inspired by plasterwork in the Palace of Versailles. She stacked three layers of berry biscuit crumb of various shades of red, which contrasted the white mousse on the outside. Sheer elegance and a mastery of both flavor and design. Sam Bompas, of the British duo Bompas & Parr, world-famous for their colossal architectural creations from jelly, gave the audience the “poshest jello shots,” made from Champagne, Violet, Prosecco, and Elderflower. Sam set the jelly, which tinted the summer evening’s light a magical blue, in molds of […]
Bless Robert Pattinson. This week, Da Vinci’s “most bellissimo man in the world” became the apple of the internet’s eye with two words: Piccolini Cuscino. During an interview with GQ’s Zach Baron, the Twilight star and future Caped Crusader unveiled a series of hilariously saturnine selfies, along with the recipe for his “fast-food” prototype—a saccharine monstrosity he claims to have pitched around the L.A. restaurant scene with an eye toward creating “a pasta which you can hold in your hand.” The recipe for Piccolini Cuscino (translation: little pillow) calls for cornflakes, pre-sliced cheese, a lighter (for “doing a little flambé”), hamburger […]

The fallout of food critic Alison Roman’s brutal criticism of Chrissy Teigen and her business strategies has spurred hateful attacks from social media users on Teigen’s children, prompting Teigen on Sunday to announce that she’s taking “a little break.” “I really hate what this drama has caused this week,” Teigen wrote in a Twitter post. “Calling my kids Petri dish babies or making up flight manifests with my name on them to ‘Epstein island,’ to justify someone else’s disdain with me seems gross to me so I’m gonna take a little break,” she continued.

Look, I’m not above finishing an entire bag of Zapp’s Voodoo Chips in one sitting, and that’s on a normal day. But these are abnormal days, which means stress eating is high on my to-do list.

I’m not talking nuts and seaweed here, though they are tasty. These are the snacks that are just a slight upgrade from the everyday salty/sweet sustenance. Here are the pantry snacks that are helping me stress eat better. […]

A new study has found that children in the United States are suffering the highest rate of food insecurity ever recorded in the country, as tens of millions of Americans are barred from working under coronavirus-induced lockdowns. Food insecurity for American children was significantly worse in April than during any year since 2001, before which point no comparable data is available, according to research published on Wednesday by the Brookings Institution. “Looking over time, particularly to the relatively small increase in child food insecurity during the Great Recession, it is clear that young children are experiencing food insecurity to an extent […]
