U.S. Federal Nutrition Policy and the Legal Geographies of Precision Welfare
Produce prescriptions are nutrition incentive programs that focus on specific populations diagnosed with chronic diseases. Since 2010 these programs have multiplied across the United States, with much of this growth attributed to expanded federal funding in the 2014 and 2018 Farm Bills. Framed as both “commonsense” solutions and a novel approach to food access and public health, they have been institutionalized within the Gus Schumacher Nutrition…
Centering diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in environmental studies and sciences by practicing compassionate pedagogies
Produce prescription programs, bodily norms, and federal nutrition policy
Food Justice – as a movement and scholarly literature – has necessarily argued for examinations of power and discrimination within food systems. However, much food justice literature has not fully examined the legislative process nor attended to its own anti-fat biases. This paper examines produce prescription programs (PPPs), focusing on key informant interviews with PPP organizers across the United States alongside participant observation at We…
Food justice now! Deepening the roots of social struggle
“Where do we go from here?” is a question often heard from advocates, politicians, activists, scholars, and those who inhabit all of those realms. We’ve identified the problem(s), how they operate

North Greenland ice islands
Large tabular icebergs derived from the glaciers which drain the north fringe of Greenland's Inland Iceoccur in many North Greenland fjords. Many have undulating surface topography resembling that of the ice islands calved from Ellesmere Island ice shelves. Semi-permanent sea ice in North Greenland fjords often prevents the escape of bergs, except in exceptional summers several decades apart, when the fjord ice melts completely and some bergs may…
Mammals of central North Greenland
Central North Greenland, an uninhabited and rarely visited region bordering the Arctic Ocean, supports arctic hare, collared lemming, wolf, arctic fox, polar bear, stoat, ringed seal and musk ox. Their distribution and abundance were noted during Geological Survey of Greenland expeditions in 1984–85, which visited virtually all land areas in the region, including nunataks and islands. Bones of reindeer, bearded seal and narwhal were also found. R…
Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse and Geodætiske Institut North Greenland expeditions, 1978–80
The second year of the three-year programme of geological investigations in eastern North Greenland has been successfully completed by the Grønlands Geologiske Undersøgelse (GGU) [Geological Survey of Greenland], in close cooperation, for logistic purposes, with the Geodætiske Institute (GI) [Danish Geodetic Institute] and the Royal Danish Air Force. This programme is the culmination of many years’ planning and the results from it are to be used …
