Bangladeshi farmers respond to COVID-19 with innovation – Bangladesh – ReliefWeb
Posted: at 7:51 am
The COVID-19 outbreak has affect the supply chains of farm businesses in Bangladesh, but small enterprise Prakritik Krishi Biponon Kendra has quickly adapted. Zakir Hossain reports. This is the second in a series of stories from Voices from the Frontline by ICCCAD and CDKN.
Delowar Jahan had never imagined a scenario like a global pandemic hitting Bangladesh, and the consequent imposition of a country-wide lockdown. My immediate response was to send my family to our village home and work out a plan to maintain the supply chain of [my organic food enterprise] Prakritik Krishi, says Delowar. As the lockdown was being discussed at the government level, along with military deployment to control mass movement, Delowar and his colleagues began making contingency plans, coordinating and discussing potential strategies over the phone.
Initially there was uncertainty about the regulations to come under lockdown, especially regarding the transport systems on which the organisation so heavily depended. The safety of staff members at the Dhaka centre was also an issue, in case an infection broke out and inevitably spread within the premises. As more people were leaving Dhaka for their villages, there was also the possibility of theft at the centre due to lack of security protocols, as well as a potential food crisis looming in the city. Hence, it was decided that all staff members, valuable items, and other logistical matters would be transferred to their farm in Manikganj, a district close to the capital.
The closure of markets and the initial transport bans presented a different set of challenges for farmers across the country. They were facing loss of income due to the lockdown. A farmer from the district of Jhinaidah, Alamgir, told us, Before the pandemic, we would supply vegetables worth Tk. 20,000 to Dhaka every week that was transported by bus. But now we are no longer able to send supplies to Dhaka.
Farmers launch local, collective initiative
To sustain their livelihoods, the local farmers in the area collaborated to launch a collective initiative: a temporary, make-shift vegetable market near the village mosque to serve the local community. The idea was initially opposed by the local administration in fear of breaching social distancing protocols. But the farmers persisted with their efforts with the local government, and it was agreed that community police would be appointed to enforce and monitor social distance measures so that the market could operate.
For the very poor local producers and farmers, Prakritik Krishi created an emergency fund and collected donations from their clients, who were happy to provide support. Mobilising emergency funds is an organisational preparedness practice that Prakritik Krishi had inculcated within their business, which has been in place during past crises to support and sustain farmers. The emergency fund also creates collaboration between farmers through exchange of seeds, providing fertilizer support and basic food supply in addition to cash provision to the farming community in the face of crisis.
Back at the organisation, the first week of lockdown was very challenging for the business, as the Dhaka centre was shut down and 50% of the clients had left the capital. Inspiration struck when Delowars brother, who lives near London in the UK, shared how the emergency food markets were operating there despite the lockdown. My brother helped me realise that like healthcare, food is also a necessity for people right now. That made me rethink the whole situation and come up with a new strategy, he says.
We started providing an online service, and mobilised people at the Manikganj farm. As soon as we heard that food transport was permitted, it was decided that three staff members would travel to Dhaka in a rented vehicle for deliveries. We are now maintaining operational support from Manikganj, and delivering food supplies twice a week to Dhaka, providing weekly food support to a hundred families.
Manikganj was now at the centre of the organisations operations, with farming and logistics both being carried out from there. It was all hands to deck, with everyone engaged in both farming and packaging. This led to a more cost effective approach and efficient monitoring of food production. It has always been the organisations goal to provide to clients directly from the farm: this was now a reality thanks to the pandemic!
Organisational culture of preparing for crises
Even in these uncertain times, the organisation was able to implement a coordinated approach to restart their operations, and that, too, in a cost effective manner. As Delowar mentions, At Prakritik Krishi, we cultivate a culture of preparing for unforeseeable economic crises. As such, we primarily focus on sustaining our farms so that if there is ever a crisis that threatens our livelihoods, we can at least produce our own food for our families and survive. The very idea of sustainability was so deeply ingrained within the organisation, that Delowar and his colleagues were able to innovate on opportunities during the crisis. However, Delowar believes that support from the government and other stakeholders are also essential to sustain food security.
One such business opportunity arose when they observed that as a means of self-sufficiency, people were keen to grow vegetables on their rooftops or balconies during the lockdown. Prakritik Krishi is now distributing and delivering seeds from their farms. We have received positive responses and the demand is increasing, Delowar proudly says of this new initiative that not only diversifies their product range and source of income, but also addresses the current needs of their clients. Delowar adds, It takes 14 days for most leafy vegetables to grow, which is the exact duration of the COVID-19 quarantine. You can grow your own food with nurture and care, and reconnect with nature!
Interviewers perspective
The pandemic has offered a glimpse of renewed hope and increased resilience amongst communities around the world. It has forced us to explore creative methods to sustain our livelihoods and social responsibilities. When left with no choice, we often look towards collaborative methods of sustenance. Bringing together our unique dispositions into a collective response has been our survival instinct since the beginning of civilisation. This is how the local farmers took forward an idea of creating opportunity to sustain their livelihoods, and how Prakritik Krishi was able to not only maintain their supply chain but also achieve their long-standing goal of creating a direct link between their farms and our plates.
About Zakir Hossain and Delowar Jahan
Zakir Hossain is the founder of Farmers Voice (Krisoker Sor). He advocates globally on farmers rights, especially in the areas of climate change, disaster risk reduction and Agenda 2030. Farmers Voice is a small agriculture research institute funded by the local community dedicated to holistic local development, that connects experiential research with policy discourse.
Prakritik Krishi began operations more than a decade ago when a young journalism graduate, Delowar Jahan, decided to follow his curiosity into the methods of farming and took the challenge of creating harmony between agricultural practices and nature, by implementing non-chemical and eco friendly methods of farming.
Prakritik Krishi and Farmers Voice are on the same pathway of the global organic farming movement.

Vertical Farming: The answer to global food security? – hortidaily.com
Posted: at 7:51 am
It is no secret that the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has brought widespread disruption to the global supply chain stemming disastrous food shortages and rising prices. In the aftershock of the pandemic, it is clear to see that the global economy and infrastructure is more fragile than we realise. Evidently necessary measures need to be put into place to help strengthen the food supply chain in preparation for any future crises.
Since the dawning of COVID-19 many UK fruit and vegetable growers are investigating new growing methods to increase outputs and ensure supermarkets and grocery stores have a consistent accessibility to important resources to provide the population.
National Statistics (2018) show the UK relies on receiving almost half (47%) of the national food supply from overseas nations, with the highest value of imports (11.1B) arriving in the form of fruit and vegetables. Originally, the theory behind such a diverse network was to enhance food security through trading with stable nations thus allowing for a constant source of provisions. However, the sudden impacts of global lockdown have proven otherwise.
The overbearing dependence on imports paired with a surge in demand for fresh produce has proved the importance of local farming. With a lack of labour in the UK, the automation of farming and harvesting seems to be an inevitable and welcome solution.
Brits have always cautiously questioned the sources of supermarket produce, and even more so since the arrival of the pandemic. With the newfound need for contactless delivery and harvesting, Vertical Farming systems seem to be the answer to the issue.
The UK relies on the global food network due to the seasonal temperate climate, counting on nations with optimal growing conditions to keep staple fruit and vegetables on supermarket shelves, however climate is not a problem in the realm of indoor farming.
Vertical farming systems allow growers to produce in a fully controllable climate, safe from the natural elements such as wind rain and frost, meaning the variety of crops now able to be grown in the UK is increased significantly. Additionally, the secure environment results in zero pests and invasive bacteria, which allows the grower to provide organic pesticide free produce, which paired with an automated growth and harvesting system will allow for minimal human contact, something heading the agenda in the current crisis.
Indoor farming systems also address another key UK issue: a dwindling availability in useable farmland. Vertical farming systems can be implemented into disused buildings or on barren land such as barns, car parks and warehouses, provided there is a steady power and water supply. Although it may look smaller than your average outdoor farm, a vertical system can equate to 4-6 X more growth surface than your standard glasshouse or polytunnel area. 1 acre of vertical farm on average produces 4-6 acres depending on the crop density and cycle duration.
Since the arrival of the virus, major cities across the planet have experienced less smog and a reduction in pollution levels. Growing vertically can act as a major contributor too: Although many media outlets have written of indoor farming negatively due to its energy usage, the reduction in other aspects of pollution and waste conservation have not been as widely reported. Its local production and harvesting of crops reduce the amount of food miles, meaning a decrease in the growers contribution to the global carbon footprint. Research has found that vertical farms lower overall CO2emissions by 67-92% when compared with greenhouses.
Vertical Farming systems allow produce to grow with 70-95% less water required for normal plant cultivation. Taking lettuce as an example: open-field production requires 250L/kg of lettuce and greenhouse systems consume 20L/kg. However, vertical systems come in at a minimal 1L/kg of lettuce, with the only water extracted during the growth cycle being that of the plants consumption. Any leftover water is recycled back through the filtering system and re-introduced to the irrigation.
In response to the pandemic thriving nations are realising the benefits of urbanised farming, identifying Vertical Farming technology as a response to the widespread food shortages. Singapore, one of the most affluent Asian countries, have been quick to adopt indoor and rooftop farms with aims to locally produce 30% of the nations food by 2030. Singapore law official Ang Wei Neng has recently stated that during the coronavirus outbreak, "it would be wise for us to think of how to invest in homegrown food" realising that Vertical Farming can act as a safety net in times of drought and crisis.
In a recent study, the University of Sheffield expressed that despite the pressure on land to build homes and roads, there is more than enough urban land available within UK cities to produce an ample, and more importantly, sustainable quota of fresh produce.
Although the world has been slow off the mark to implement an effective amount of Vertical Farming systems, large-scale UK distributors such as Ocado are already including indoor farming into their business models, sharing the feeling that their hyper-automation and promise of diverse locality will soon see the technology embedded into the global food supply chain.
Bridge Vertical Farming partners with Urban Crop Solutions to provide hi-tech automated solutions which include the likes of container farms, research facilities and bespoke vertical farming structures to cater for individual needs.

Vertical Farming: The answer to global food security? - hortidaily.com
National Trust report sheds light on merits of organic farming | News – Speciality Food
Posted: at 7:51 am
The organic sector has voiced concerns over the Governments public money for public goods farming strategy, fearing it is ignoring the value of organic options. The English Organic Forum (EOF), which represents organic farming organisations and businesses, is concerned that whilst the governments proposal has many valid points, it hasnt yet specifically recognised the important role that organic farming can play in delivering public goods or the vital importance of whole farming systems.
It comes as National Trust highlighted the success of organic farming in its recently published Farm Health Check report. The study offered a full health check into the biodiversity, carbon levels and levels of public accessibility at Wimpole Estate Home Farm, the only farm the National Trust manages directly.
The farm, which has been organic for 12 years, has seen a number of achievements, including a doubling in the number of breeding pairs of skylarks and linnets in the last six years, a 150 percent increase in hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants), and the recording to over 1,100 invertebrate species, including 95 rare and protected species that are vital to pollinating crops and preying on pests. The report also showed a total carbon balance of -2,260 tonnes of CO2 per year achieved through the amount of organic matter in the soil which soaks up carbon, the number of trees and grown out hedges.
The report provides further evidence to support the merits of organic farming, according to Mark Harold, National Trust director of land and nature. This is a story of hope and optimism and the Governments forthcoming environmental land management scheme will be crucial to replicating this across the farming industry, as will the new Agriculture Bill in prioritising government support for this scheme.
Speaking about the importance of the report and the need for the Government to take note, EOF co-chairman Christopher Stopes added: We are delighted with the National Trust results. We can see that the Trust is supportive of sustainable approaches across all farming practices and the results from the farm at Wimpole clearly show that organic fits into that very well. And their publication is timely because the whole farm system approach demonstrated so well at Wimpole has not yet been recognised in the governments proposals.
The Trusts Wimpole estate is a mixed farm with a predominantly arable system that integrates cereals with fertility building clover leys, green manures and livestock. The team, led by farm manager Callum Weir, believes the recent results offer a good indicator of a healthy ecosystem thats a direct result of their holistic approach, proving that nature-friendly farming and a profitable farm business can go hand-in-hand.
It is this whole system approach that brings production, ecology and environment together in a way which optimises food production alongside the delivery of public goods, Stopes said.
Providing a menu of techniques which farmers can choose to take up has merit. However, as Wimpole Farm demonstrates, the whole farm system approach is critical and we are deeply concerned that this is being overlooked by Defra.
Stopes comments are supported by John Pawsey, chair of the NFU Organic Forum, who farms 1,500 hectares in Suffolk: This is an exciting time for all farmers but especially for anyone considering organic farming. The National Trust has shown at Wimpole how organic farming makes commercial and environmental sense. I hope the Government will take note of these impressive results and put in place a framework which allows organic farming to flourish in this country as it has elsewhere in the world.

Global Free From Food Market (2019 to 2026) – by Type and Distribution Channel – GlobeNewswire
Posted: May 5, 2020 at 5:42 pm
May 05, 2020 06:33 ET | Source: Research and Markets
Dublin, May 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Free from Food Market by Type and Distribution Channel: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast 2019-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Free from food products are known as the products in which certain ingredients are removed to make them healthier and safer for consumption. They may be dairy-free, sugar-free, carb-free, lactose-free, artificial ingredient-free food, or egg-free depending upon the purpose for which they are being produced. The consumption of free from dairy and free from gluten foods is not only limited to nutritional needs but is also gaining importance, owing to issues related to intolerance or allergies.
Dairy-free products can be referred to the milk products produced by vegan alternatives. Soy, rice, almond, coconut, and even hemp seed milks are the popular dairy-free products that are dominating the dairy-free segment. Sugar-free products are made without the addition of actual sugar. Sugar substitutes such as aspartame, cyclamate, mogrosides, saccharin, and stevia are used in sugar-free products.
These products provide a sweet taste, while at the same time containing less calories as compared to sugar-based sweeteners, thus making it a zero-calorie or low-calorie product. Consumption of carbohydrates beyond the prescribed level has a negative impact on blood sugar and insulin levels. Thus, restricting carbohydrates in food items controls sugar levels and insulin needs. Increase in prevalence of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, dementia, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases is a key factor that augments the demand for low-carb food products
Lactose is a sugar majorly found in milk products. Increased consumption of lactose may cause gas, bloating, cramping, or diarrhea, in case it is not broken down or is undigested. Alternatives for lactose containing milk can be soy milk, almond milk, and other plant-based milks. Artificial ingredient free food are natural and organic foods.
The consumer preference toward organic, natural, and healthy food is on a constant rise, owing to increase in health consciousness among consumers. Furthermore, surge in disposable income, improvement in living standard, rise in health expenditure, and large-scale promotion of organic foods owing to their benefit, such as their chemical-free nature, drive the growth of free from food market.
Increase in adverse health effects due to use of artificial ingredients, additives, or colorants such as E133 and the adoption of controversial food technologies such as GMOs have in the preparation of free from food products have limited their adoption among consumers. Moreover, these products are significantly expensive, and have a potentially shorter shelf life, thereby limiting their adoption. Furthermore, additional ingredients are added in free from food products to meet the needs of prescribed regulations, which incurs extra production cost of free from food products. Thus, high cost of these products poses a potential threat for the growth of the global market. Rise in concern about the origin of ingredients among consumers has influenced new product purchases. This trend is expected to generate lucrative opportunities in the clean label ingredients market.
In addition, the food industry is responding to an increase in demand by consumers of clean label products by supplying the food products, which are perceived as cleaner. For instance, Nestl USA removed all of artificial colors from their chocolate candy products, and removed artificial flavors from the entire line of snacks and frozen pizzas. Furthermore, in the announcement made in February 2016, Mars pledged to remove artificial colors from human food products. Most recently, Red Bulllaunched a new line of organic soda products, which are only available in two regions of the U.S.This organic soda line is another example of how companies are embracing the artificial ingredients free concept.
The global free from food market is segmented into type, distribution channel, and region. Deepening on type, the market is categorized into dairy-free, sugar-free, carb-free, lactose-free, artificial ingredient-free food, and others. On the basis of distribution channel, the market is divided into supermarket &hypermarket, specialty stores, online retail stores, and others. On the regional basis, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
Some of the key companies profiled in the report include The Kraft Heinz Company, The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., Cargill Inc., Corbion Inc., Kerry Group PLC, Ingredion Incorporated, Chr. Hasen A/S, Dupont, Kellogg Company, and General Mills, Inc.

61st Street Farm to Provide Woodlawn with Free Produce – The Real Chi
Posted: at 5:42 pm
A new initiative by 61st Street Farmers Market and Build Coffee seeks to provide free locally sourced foods for low-income Woodlawn residents during the COVID-19 pandemic with their Market Box initiative.
Build Coffee and 61st Street Farmers Market announced the new initiative in late April and asked for donations to fund the boxes. The original goal was to purchase 100 food boxes; however, after surpassing that goal, a new goal was set to secure funding for 200 food boxes. Each Market Box contains food items such as bread, eggs, carrots, asparagus that have been sourced from local farmers. 61st Street Farmers Market and Build Coffee are both part of Experimental Station, an organization that seeks to reshape Chicagos South Side through independent business and educational programming.
We were frustrated by the disparities in access highlighted by COVID-19, and wanted to act quickly to ensure that our neighbors were able to obtain good local food, said Wendy Zeldin of 61st Street Farmers Market about the need for the resource.
The new initiative is also choosing to prioritize Market Boxes to black low-income residents in the Woodlawn neighborhood due to the high impact of COVID-19 among black Chicagoans. According to The Chicago Reporter COVID-19 Map, there are 758 confirmed COVID-19 cases from 3,491 tests in the two zip codes encompassing the Woodlawn area. Of which 565 out the 758 confirmed cases are among black residents, which amounts to 74 percent of all cases in the two zip codes.
We are prioritizing black and low-income residents in the Woodlawn area, as these folks have been disproportionately disadvantaged and harmed by the pandemic, said Zeldin. Additionally, it is, now and always, the market's mission to feed good food to our neighbors.
Woodlawn is also considered a food desert due to 33 percent of the population living more than one mile away from a supermarket or large grocery store, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
According to Zeldin, besides benefiting Woodlawn residents, the Market Box also aids local farmers who have had trouble selling produce during the pandemic. The Market Box initiative allows those folks to eat local, organic produce for free, while still paying our farmers, said Zeldin.
If you are interested in helping 61st Street Farmers Market distribute more food, you can buy a Market Box for a Woodlawn resident on their website, and if you live in Woodlawn and need assistance, you can request a Market Box here.

People of Color are at Greater Risk of COVID-19. Systemic Racism in the Food System Plays a Role. – Civil Eats
Posted: at 5:42 pm
More than two weeks before Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued a March 24 stay-at-home order to stop the spread of coronavirus, Paige Jackson got sick.
I was having a really bad migraineto the point where it was hard to keep my eyes open, Jackson, who lives in the Detroit suburb of Southfield, recalled.
An employee of an Amazon store and a restaurant, Jackson initially shrugged off her symptoms. But the headache, which lasted days, turned into body aches. When she developed a cough and a 101-degree fever, Jackson went to urgent care, where the staff prescribed medications to treat the flu and sent her home. Her symptoms, however, worsened, and the 26-year-old spent several days in the hospital, ultimately receiving a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Today, Jackson is feeling 100 percent better. But as an African American, a frontline worker, and a resident of a state hit hard by coronavirus, Jackson knows that shes one of the lucky ones. According to a Johns Hopkins University analysis of 26 states that have provided racial data about the virus, Black people make up 34 percent of COVID deaths, despite comprising just 13.4 percent of the U.S. population.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found that African Americans account for 33 percent of COVID hospitalizations, largely because Black people have high rates of chronic health conditionscalled comorbiditiesthat weaken the immune system and make them more vulnerable to the virus. But much less discussed is how food, class, and race have intersected in ways that perpetuate the health disparities and social inequities unfolding today.
Outside of being Black, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension have been identified as the comorbidities that make coronavirus more deadly amongst anyone worldwide, said Daphene Altema-Johnson, the food communities and public health program officer at John Hopkins Universitys Center for a Livable Future. When you look at the United States, Blacks have higher rates of these chronic conditions and the reasons they have those comorbidities are driven by poverty and by food insecurity.
Communities of color have long struggled to access fresh and unprocessed food, and minority workers make up a disproportionate percentage of the food industry, often working for low wages and without medical benefits. All the while, traditional cuisines, such as soul food, have taken blame for the health problems African Americans facea critique that overlooks how obesity and Type 2 diabetes werent widespread in the Black community until after makers of processed and fast foods established a foothold in minority neighborhoods in the late 20th century. Moreover, stress from racial discrimination and other sources has been tied to heart disease, hypertension, and obesity.
Theres also the psychological aspects of being Black in America and the environments of communities of color, where you have lack of access to care and disparities that exist in the healthcare system, including unconscious racial bias as it relates to COVID-19, since Blacks are less likely to be referred for testing in the healthcare system, Altema-Johnson said.
It all boils down to a simple fact: structural racism in the U.S, and particularly in the food system, has left people of color more susceptible to the health and economic crises of the coronavirus pandemic.
Social Determinants of Health: Food Swamps and ZIP Codes
Although the social determinants of healththe conditions in ones workplace, neighborhood, home, or schoolhave a significant impact on well-being, the perception persists that African American lifestyle and cultural influences are to blame for the racial disparity in coronavirus casualties.
U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams faced widespread criticism in April for specifically urging the Black and Latinx communities to avoid alcohol, tobacco, and drugs during the coronavirus pandemic, even though these groups dont abuse substances at higher rates than others. And speaking during CNNs April 18 town hall about coronaviruss disproportionate impact on people of color, retired NBA star Charles Barkley said, There is systematic racism, but that does not give you a reason to go out and be overweight.
These remarks discount how the nations food system uniquely makes people of color prone to COVID complications. Kristen Cooksey-Stowers, an assistant professor in the University of Connecticuts Department of Allied Health Sciences, has researched the link between food access and health problems in Black neighborhoods. She co-authored a 2017 study that concluded food swampsareas with a high-density of establishments selling high-calorie fast food and junk food, relative to healthier food optionsbetter predicted obesity rates in a community than food deserts, a term describing the absence of a full-service grocery store.
Its more important than ever to have food thats good for our immune system but its easier to get the high-fat, high-salt, and high-sugar foods that compromise it.
The coronavirus pandemic has revealed how imperative it is for cities and counties to limit the number of unhealthy food retailers in neighborhoods, Cooksey-Stowers told Civil Eats.
When we get into this sort of crisis, its more important than ever to have food thats good for our immune system, she said. But its easier to get to the food that actually compromises our immune systemthe high-fat, high-salt, and high-sugar foods. Its awful. Now is the time for food equity.
Her research demonstrates that where a person lives has a direct impact on ones well-being, with white neighborhoods offering more health and nutrition benefits than communities of color. Accordingly, the African-American obesity rate is 49.6 percent, the Hispanic obesity rate is 44.8 percent, and the white obesity rate is 42.2 percent, the CDC reports.
Studies that look at health disparities in the Black and Hispanic community are consistently finding these patterns, Cooksey-Stowers said. Its about a lot more than whether theres a grocery store or not. Its about the brown bag, fast-food greasy carryout place and the stores with the blue juice and 25-cent chips. Its a manifestation of structural inequality.
Three years before Cooksey-Stowers published her study on food swamps, Reginald Tucker-Seeley, a University of Southern California assistant professor of gerontology, coauthored a study concluding that Black neighborhoods had higher access to fast-food restaurants, a circumstance associated with obesity.
We have been discussing these kinds of disparities for decades, Tucker-Seeley said. But he wants these conversations to also examine the societal forces that led communities of color to house so many harmful food retailers.
The decisions around retail in these neighborhoods are not random, he said. They are the result of municipal policy. The conversation is incomplete if it just places the responsibility on the individual consumer but not on the choices people have.
His research has found that the zoning policies allowing unhealthy food retailers to accumulate in certain neighborhoods may be more motivated by race than income. Tucker-Seeley compared economically disadvantaged areas across the country and found that fast-food retailers were more common in Black neighborhoods of all incomes than in low-income non-black neighborhoods. (Cooksey-Stowers made a similar finding about food swamps.) And the legacy of redlining and racial segregation means that middle-class African Americans frequently live in neighborhoods without the resources and protections found in even poor white ones.
We cant underestimate the power of neighborhood segregation, Tucker-Seeley said. Which homes do individuals get to live in? What kind of lending is available? What is the power of racism throughout the process, and how can it potentially sort people into neighborhoods with fewer resources and more health risks?
Changing the retail composition of a neighborhood is difficultbut not impossible, according to Tucker-Seeley. It requires residents who are aware that their community perpetuates food inequity and, from there, addressing municipal-level zoning policies, he said. Less clear is the ideal retail mix for good health.
Thats going to require collaboration with health and housing and economic development officials, he said. Until zoning policies limit the amount of fast food and replace it with healthier food, its going to be challenging.
Abandoned by Grocery Stores, Many Communities of Color Are Food Insecure
The pandemic has made these zoning policies and their present-day consequences clearer than ever. Take South Los Angeles, where a 2008 ordinance limited the opening of new fast-food restaurants but did not stop more convenience stores from opening or increase the number of grocery stores in the area. When Californias March 19 stay-at-home order took effect, people flocked to the few supermarkets there.
There was already not enough food access [in South L.A.], and the stores that do exist have lines around the block, activist Olympia Auset recalled. People were letting us know there was no rice and beans.
In response, Auset stepped up the work she began in 2016 as the founder of Sprmarkt, an organic grocery that aims to bring more low-cost organic food to communities like South L.A. The organization estimates that area has roughly 60 grocery stores for 1.3 million people.
To meet the demands for food in South L.A. during the pandemic, Sprmarkt has grown its operational capacity, picking up and delivering 96 boxes of food weekly rather than the typical 20. It has also donated groceries to the needy and amassed dried goods, such as quinoa, beans, rice sunflower seeds, and cranberries, that families can use for the long haul.
Sprmarkt is not alone in its efforts. YMCAs throughout the country, including in Massachusetts, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia, have served tens of thousands of meals during the pandemic. And the COVID-19 Fresh Food Fund has announced plans to provide communities in need with hundreds of thousands of servings of fresh produce. Additionally, the animal rights group Mercy for Animals (MFA) recently partnered with community advocacy organization I Grow Chicago to deliver 250 meals from five local vegan restaurants and food trucks to residents of Chicagos West Englewood community, which is predominantly low-income and African American.
Without access to affordable, healthy foods, it is extremely difficult to maintain a strong immune system, Erin Kwiatkowski, MFAs corporate partnerships manager, who believes the food system sees some communities as worthy of having nutritious food and others as not.
The Problem With Blaming Soul Food
The mountain of research showing the correlation between environment, racial segregation, and health disparities hasnt stopped some people from blaming Black culture for the chronic health conditions that can lead to COVID complications.
The American Conservative recently suggested that soul food, and more specifically, a greens-cornbread-and-pork-chops culture, bore responsibility for the high rates of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension in the African American community and, thus, the high rate of Black people dying from COVID-19. Its not the first time soul food has been blamed for these conditions; research studies, the 2012 documentary Soul Food Junkies, and even the 1997 theatrical release Soul Food have all linked the cuisine to chronic health conditions.
This argument overlooks that soul food can be prepared without pork fat, salt, or sugar, says Adrian Miller, author of Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine One Plate at a Time, winner of the 2014 James Beard Foundation Book Award. Pathologizing African-American cuisine also ignores that soul food predates the nations obesity crisis, which grew as the number of fast-food restaurants in the U.S. doubled between 1972 and 1997. It disregards the rising popularity of vegan soul food as well.
If you look at soul foodthe dark leafy greens are a superfood, Miller said. Okra is a superfood. Hibiscus is a superfood. Fishall these things are the building blocks of soul food.
Black dietitians are teaching African Americans how to prepare healthful soul food, but just 3 percent of dietitians are Black.
Miller added that the term vegan soul food isnt an oxymoron, as the traditional soul food diet contained more vegetables than meats; enslaved people had more access to the former than the latter. It was celebration food, he explained of soul food. It was the food you got on weekends when the work day slowed down enough. It was seasoned vegetables, maybe a little bit of meat and cornbread.
Black dietitians like Fabiola Gaines, coauthor of The New Soul Food Cookbook for People With Diabetes, have been teaching African Americans how to prepare healthful soul food by relying more on seasoning than animal fat for flavor. Shes been a dietitian for more than 40 years, but points out that fewjust 3 percent of dietitian and nutrition professionalsare Black.
If you have diabetes, we wanted to show you that you can still have the same food but lower in fat and sugar, Gaines said. Healthy soul food can taste good.
Today, soul food remains celebration food, meaning that its typically not eaten on a daily basis. And, increasingly, African Americans arent making it at home but patronizing restaurants that do, Miller posits. Given this, he questions why soul food, eaten only once in a while, could singlehandedly be responsible for the obesity, hypertension, and diabetes epidemics in the Black community.
Lytisha Wyatt, an assistant grower at Soul Fire Farm, a community farm in Petersburg, New York, focused on ending injustice in the food system, questions why diet has become the focus of the racial disparities in COVID-19 deaths.
Its been really frustrating the ways in which people are trying to distract from the systemic factors that are playing a role in the disproportionate amount of Black deaths from coronavirus, she said. There wasnt that much talk about peoples diets, and all of sudden, diet has come up. Its another way of avoiding talking about the societal conditions that make it so Black people are less likely to thrive.
Miller suspects the culprits for the chronic health problems among African Americans are fast food and other highly processed foods, convenient and plentiful in communities of color. A CDC study found that almost 40 percent of Americans ate fast food on any given day from 2013 to 2016, and doctors have blamed processed foods for the rise in chronic medical conditions that make COVID-19 deadly.
For racial reasons, for class reasons, our food has long been stigmatized, Miller said. Its been reduced to either slave food or poverty food, which ignores its rich history as a fusion of food from West Africa, Western Europe, and the Americas.
Food Workers Will be More Vulnerable After the Pandemic
Those suggesting that cultural and lifestyle factors make people of color more vulnerable to COVID-19 havent been as outspoken about how the workplace contributes to racial disparities in coronavirus cases. Black and Latinx people are more likely to work in occupations, including food service, that require them to interact closely with others. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, African Americans make up 12.3 percent of the workforce but comprise 21.9 percent of animal slaughterhouse and processing workers, 14.2 percent of grocery workers, and 13.4 percent of restaurant workers. They also account for 26.5 percent of employees at Amazon and 21 percent of the staff at Walmart, the nations largest grocer.
Paige Jackson isnt sure where she contracted coronavirus, but she acknowledges that being a frontline worker and interacting with lots of people at two jobs has made her vulnerable. There is a possibility that somebody I came into contact with at work was sick, she said.
While Jackson has recovered from coronavirus, she now has no job to return to, since both of hers closed during the pandemic. She is among the estimated two-thirds of restaurant workers who have lost their jobs since the pandemic led to statewide lockdowns across the nation.
I hope this leads to an evolution in the ways in which we get our food.
The economic impact of COVID-19 will have long-lasting consequences for restaurant workers, who are now facing Great Depression-era levels of poverty and merging households just to survive, according to Saru Jayaraman, president of One Fair Wage, an advocacy group for the nations restaurant workforce. For food workers of color, she noted, the financial instability is even more serious, since they typically earn less than their white counterparts.
Workers of color are often segregated into lower-paying positions and segments of the [restaurant] industry, Jayaraman said. They work as kitchen staff or as bussers and runners rather than as waiters, so they really might have nothing to fall back on. They may not be eligible to qualify for unemployment because their wages are so low. They dont have a way to take care of their basic needs. Not only are they at high risk of getting coronavirus, theyre much less able to take care of themselves if they do get it.
Soul Fire Farms Lytisha Wyatt said the pandemic has revealed how broken the food system isand hopes that lawmakers can improve it for workers and consumers alike.
Im hoping this leads to an evolution in the ways in which we get our food, she said. Hopefully, the disproportionate number of [people of color] dying will help expose the role the food system plays in health outcomes and usher in more protections for grocery store workers, people in meat-packing facilities, people making food deliveries. Its clear theyre essential, and if theyre essential, this pandemic needs to generate momentum for them to be protected.
