Rising Food Prices Are Likely to Continue, Thanks to #Trump’s Trade Wars
Wholesale prices on fresh and dry vegetables rose nearly 40 percent, and soon consumers will feel the pinch
By Peter Wade, August 17, 2025
"As wholesale and consumer prices have risen, so has the demand on food banks, which were already hit hard with shortages due to federal budget cuts earlier this year and actions at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” congressional Republicans passed last month also cut Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP) benefits by $186 billion, meaning more people may be turning to increasingly strapped food banks to make up for the loss in food assistance."

#FoodAid groups bought from #LocalFarmers with #USDA grants. Abrupt cuts leave both struggling.
By Meg Oliver, June 30, 2025
"Four days a week, Maile Auterson and one of her employees drive hundreds of miles across Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas to deliver fresh produce to #FoodDeserts.
"Auterson's nonprofit, Springfield #CommunityGardens, helps #UnderservedSchools, #FoodPantries and senior centers. One center in Ava, #Missouri, is the only place for many where they can get a hot meal.
"Springfield Community Gardens is one of many organizations that relied on grants from the United States Department of Agriculture to distribute produce to schools and low-income communities through two pandemic-era federal programs. They provided about $1 billion in funding to schools and food banks to buy food directly from local farms, ranchers and producers.
"But in March, the USDA abruptly canceled the programs, calling the decision a 'return to long-term, fiscally responsible initiatives.'
"Now, Auterson says, 'some of the most vulnerable people' are without adequate access to food, including children and #SeniorCitizens."

Food aid groups bought from local farmers with USDA grants. Abrupt cuts leave both struggling.
Advocates warn the cuts could ripple through food deserts, rural communities and urban areas where access to healthy food is miles away.

Senate passes Trump tax breaks and spending cuts bill
Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Republicans “got the job done” in passing President Donald Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts. Vice President JD Vance broke a 50-50 tie for Republicans on Tuesday after a tense overnight session. The bill goes back to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson had against big revisions from his chamber’s version. But senators did make changes, particularly to Medicaid health care. Still, Johnson vows to send it to Trump's desk by his July Fourth deadline. Three Republican senators joined all Democrats in voting against the bill, which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says would increase the deficit by nearly $3.3 trillion over the decade.
