The Fifty One

DAMEMagazine

The Fifty One is a nod to the fact that women make up 51% of the U.S. population. In each season, we take a national issue and work with local reporters across the country to explore its impact on women at the local level. In season 1, we're tackling food insecurity—the drivers of it, solutions, and what it really looks like in communities across the country.

The Fifty One - How Redlining Helped Create Food Insecurity
play

09/19/18 • 10 min

Redlining effectively segregated U.S. cities for decades, and precipitated divestment from low-income neighborhoods. Those same neighborhoods are the ones struggling with food insecurity today. Next week, we'll explore one of those cities (Birmingham, AL), but in this episode we look at the history of redlining and how it intersects with food access issues.

Food Is Medicine

The Fifty One

play

10/24/18 • 10 min

Last year California governor Jerry Brown signed a bill providing $6 million over three years to the Food Is Medicine pilot. The pilot will provide medically tailored meals for 1,000 Medi-Cal patients struggling with either TypeII Diabetes or congestive heart failure. We look at what sorts of benefits that might bring, and how organizations elsewhere in the country are taking up the "food as medicine" idea and running with it, too.

Indigenous people in the U.S. are up to 400% more likely to experience food insecurity, according to the USDA. That's by design. A key aspect to colonization has always been to erode food sovereignty, but many tribes are working to reclaim it. That includes the Navajo Nation, which spans three southwestern states. In this episode, Native America Calling reporter (and Toasted Sister podcast host) Andi Murphy takes us to her home reservation to explore what has driven the high rate of food insecurity for so long and what's being done about food sovereignty.
