"Food insecurity could be your next-door neighbor," says Nicole Williams, the CEO of the food bank. "When gas costs a little bit more or food costs a little bit more, or they have a repair on their car or a medical bill, that takes away what they might be using to spend on food."

Here are 10 crops that could help feed the future in a hotter, drier world: durum wheat, faba beans, groundnuts, jujubes, mesquite pods, millet, nopales, pigeonpea, sorghum, and tepary beans.

The Farm Bill influences everything from grocery prices to school meals to which farms survive. The bill has expired, but the policies shaping hunger, farming, and conservation are still being negotiated in Congress. This is a critical moment to pay attention to what comes next.

Healthy soil stores carbon, holds water, supports biodiversity, and helps farms become more resilient. But carbon farming is more complicated than a buzzword or carbon credit.

Food Tank's new piece on carbon farming explores the promise, the science, and the debates shaping one of agriculture’s fastest-growing climate conversations.

New polling also offered new insight into why 41 percent of Americans identify with the MAHA movement — including 22 percent who said they do so strongly. The top reasons respondents gave were hopes for a healthier country (19 percent), removing or regulating harmful substances in food (15 percent), and improving nutrition and reducing obesity rates (7 percent each). Only 4 percent mentioned vaccines or ‘medical choice,’ and few mentioned President Donald Trump or Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.”

“Agriculture is the culture.”

Christa Barfield founded FarmerJawn, now Pennsylvania’s largest Black-owned farm, with a vision rooted in regenerative agriculture, community, and access to healthy food.

Her story is about far more than farming. It’s about rebuilding connections between people, land, and each other while creating good jobs and investing in underserved communities.

What if the price we pay at the checkout doesn’t reflect the real cost of our food?

From soil degradation and water pollution to diet-related illness and unsafe labor conditions, many of the biggest impacts of our food system remain hidden from consumers, policymakers, and markets.

True Cost Accounting is an evolving framework that looks beyond the price tag to measure food’s full impact on people, planet, and society—and help build a food system that values health, fairness, and sustainability alongside profit.
