Yesterday, Senator Stabenow introduced the Rural Prosperity and Food Security Act, a Senate draft of the farm bill that includes some of HEAL’s key Farm Bill priorities, such as: ?Resources for beginning, underresourced, and small farmers ?Access to nutrition assistance programs ?Support for climate conservation programs, and ?Holding corporations accountable for violating labor laws but ultimately falls short on worker protections. The HEAL Food Alliance urges Congressional leaders to prioritize swift, bipartisan action to pass a transformative farm bill that truly supports working people, vulnerable communities, and our environment. We look forward to a new farm bill that serves the needs of all of us. https://lnkd.in/erwDidhg

The rise of fossil fuels in our food ?? ?? ?? ?? Navina Khanna joins IPES-Food new podcast Fuel to Fork to discuss how fossil fuels have become embedded into our food systems and the hidden impacts on biodiversity, food and farm workers, and our oceans! #HEALFoodSystems #FossilFreeFood
??Our food has a hidden ingredient. And it has some serious climate consequences. ?? https://lnkd.in/e9DFV9YR ?? Have you heard #FueltoFork yet? Our brand-new podcast series with TABLE & Global Alliance for the Future of Food uncovers how #fossilfuels power everything from farm to fork. It reveals how #foodsystems account for a staggering 15% of global fossil fuel use – through fuel, processing, transport, plastics, refrigeration, and cooking. Across 7 episodes, we explore: ?? How fossil fuel use in food production undermines global efforts to halt climate change. ?? The history of fossil fuels in food—how a once self-reliant food system became so reliant on oil, gas, and petrochemicals. ?? How the fossil fuel industry is pinning its hopes for growth on food, as other sectors decarbonise. ?? The path forward: what we can do to phase out fossil fuels from our food system, with insights from experts, farmers, chefs, and campaigners. Uncover the truth about the fossil fuels in our food in #FueltoFork ??????: episodes 1 and 2 out now ??? ?? https://lnkd.in/e9DFV9YR

HEAL demands corporations be held accountable for exploiting children and workers! According to the U.S. Department of Labor, there has been a 69 percent increase in the illegal employment of children by companies across the United States. Recently, at least two dozen children (minors under 18 years old) were illegally hired to clean meat processing facilities by a Tennessee-based sanitation company. The HEAL Food Alliance, along with 65 organizations representing farmers, ranchers, food and farm workers, Indigenous groups, scientists, public health advocates, animal welfare organizations, policy experts, community organizers, and activists, sent a letter to Senate and House ranking members of the?Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry Committee and the?Committee on Agriculture urging their support of The Child Labor Exploitation Accountability Act?(S.1288/ H.R.2822), introduced by Senator Booker and Representative Casar. https://lnkd.in/dvFW_9db
