Great things happening in #Greenbay on the #nutrition front! Fork Farms has developed a cost effective hydroponic system to grow vegetables indoors and it's being used in a local high school to improve the nutrition of their students. Given that only 1 in 10 adults (and likely even fewer children) eats their daily recommended servings of fruits and #vegetables, this opportunity to improve #schoollunch is huge! Studies show that the earlier children are introduced to fresh produce, the likelier they are to continue healthy eating patterns when they are adults. For some students this may be the only meal where #nutrientdense vegetables are offered. How can we in the #foodindustry get more #foodinnovation and nutrient dense food into every #school across the nation? #fruitsandvegetables #communityhealth #wisconsinagriculture #FDA #agriculture #zerosugar Chad Anderson https://lnkd.in/gqyfswVv #cbsnews

As we sit down to eat, it's essential to remember the hidden costs behind our food choices. Behind every glass of milk, every slice of cheese, lies a story of immense suffering endured by dairy cows and their calves.

It's time to say no to this cycle of cruelty and choose a dairy-free future. Sign up for our 21-day dairy-free journey and discover the joys of plant-based living.

“Food insecurity is at an all-time high and still on the rise in Southeastern Minnesota. We know this because Channel One distributed 77% more food in April than we did last year, and our food shelf, the second largest in the state, is experiencing steep increases in demand year-over-year, including a doubling of new households seeking assistance. This is after Minnesotans visited food shelves more than 7.5 million times in 2023, the most on record. It is unsustainable, and without state and federal support, more of our neighbors will go hungry. For that reason, we need a strong, bipartisan Farm Bill that invests in proven anti-hunger programs at the federal level, including both the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). The Rural Prosperity and Food Security Act summary released by Chair Stabenow last week acknowledges the benefits of both programs by keeping SNAP whole and making much needed investments in TEFAP. We encourage our federal delegation to do whatever they can as negotiations continue to prioritize these programs, which will help us fight hunger throughout Greater Minnesota.” -Virginia Witherspoon Merritt, Channel One Regional Food Bank executive director
