Putting Down Roots Ousted L.A. gardeners continue to farm		28 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 3:17 PM on 28 Apr 2008 In June 2006, a land dispute led to the shutdown of the South Central Community Garden in Los Angeles. Weeks of protest and tree-sitting by celebrities and regular folk proved unfruitful, and the 14-acre garden, tended by 350 low-income families in the middle of one of L.A.'s poorest neighborhoods, was bulldozed. Nearly two years later, with legal wrangling over the land's ownership ongoing, the gardeners ...

And Meals to Go Before We Sleep As food series ends, the story is just beginning	Tom Philpott	19 Oct 2007	Grist Feature
During my trip to the Midwest this summer, I saw many unsettling sights: vast monocropped landscapes lashed regularly with chemicals, insidious low-slung buildings that imprison thousands of animals and concentrate their waste. Yet I returned oddly invigorated, buzzing about Iowa's promise as a sustainable-ag mecca. Amid the cornfields and the CAFOs, I saw thriving homestead farms whe ...

In the Belly of the Beast The savory challenges of being a sustainable chef in Big Ag country	Kurt Michael Friese	11 Oct 2007	Grist Feature
Fifteen years ago, I left a great job teaching at a prestigious northeast culinary school to move back to Iowa and be an executive chef at a Holiday Inn. It was difficult to find people, in Vermont or Iowa, who did not think I was certifiably insane. Those who thought they knew Iowa claimed, "There's no there there!" And those who did not asked, "Iowa? I ...

It Can Be Done Images of a sustainable-food revolution		10 Oct 2007	Grist Feature
Imagine a place where residents pull together to create a thriving store and restaurant serving fresh, local food. Imagine a place where the money appears, the dreams become real, the produce and pastured meat taste like home. Imagine a place where officials support these dreams with policies that fund organic farmers and encourage the purchase of local food. You can stop imagining. It's happening in Woodbury County, Iowa. It ...

A Tale of Two Counties In the farm belt, a look at the extremes of agricultural production	Tom Philpott	10 Oct 2007	Grist Feature
When I arrived in Iowa on a reporting trip this summer, I expected to experience it with city eyes: frankly, as a rural backwater. I've lived on a farm in the Appalachians of North Carolina since 2004, but the ten years before that, I lived in Mexico City and New York City. I don't know from vast fields and wide horizons. Instead, barreling down the highway between appointme ...

All's Fair and We Love More Fair-trade market boosted by consumer demand		02 Oct 2007	News
Posted at 10:24 AM on 02 Oct 2007 An ever-greener and ever-more-caffeinated world is boosting the fair-trade market -- not just for coffee, but for products such as cocoa, cotton, tea, pineapples, and flowers. The certification, which holds growers to strict standards per child labor, pesticide use, recycling, and more, is not a phenomenon specific to hippie shops: all Dunkin' Donuts in the U.S. and all McDonald's in Englan ...
