The Misguided Food Assistance Restrictions in Wisconsin’s WIC Program

08 Dec 2016  |  Wild Heart Food
The article criticizes Wisconsin’s Women, Infants and Children’s Program's 'Approved Foods' brochure, which outlines restrictions on food purchases for those on food assistance.

The article highlights the negative impact on those with specific dietary needs, such as vegans, and those who prioritize organic products. It suggests that instead of imposing restrictions, education and empowerment are key to helping people make healthier food choices.

Women Farmers Take the Plough

06 Dec 2015  |  Wild Heart Food
The article discusses the changing landscape of agriculture in India, where male farmers are increasingly absent due to suicides linked to climate change, debt, and corporate policies, particularly those of Monsanto, or migration to cities in search of better opportunities. Women, often left behind, are stepping up to manage farms and households. The journalist, Nicholas Tippins, highlights the story of Vaishali, a single mother who became a successful farmer. The article also covers the formation of farming collectives like Kudumbashree, which empower women through shared resources, community support, and education. These collectives, along with networks like Vanastree and Diverse Women for Diversity, help women gain social power and promote sustainable farming. Despite the challenges, the article suggests that women are finding empowerment and possibly liberation through agriculture, raising questions about the future dynamics of gender roles in Indian farming.
