The publication of the National Peace Corps Association, WorldView Magazine, takes on global food issues in its latest edition. In the article, “A Push for Self-Determination” Kyle Freund, the Communications Manager for Coffee Kids, writes about the campaign for food sovereignty in Veracruz, Mexico. The article discusses how the people of Veracruz have, with the help of NGO’s, reclaimed their “foodscape” and have place renewed emphasis on growing and eating locally grown food.
In “It Take a Community to Raise a Garden,” the National Peace Corps Association’s JoAnna Haugen writes about the Global Gardens program. The program, paid for by a three-year federal grant, offers training, gardening space and equipment to resettled refugees to help them grow and manage community gardens. This program helps them gain valuable skills and helps them to integrate into their new communities.
