Ladd Keith<p>New open access paper by Minwoo Ahn, myself, and Heidi Brown documenting rural heat health disparities with evidence from the U.S. National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS). Comparing emergency medical service events, we find that the odds an urban event resulting in a positive outcome was 1.24 times that of patients in rural area, with larger differences evident in the Western U.S. This evidence of a rural-urban heat health disparity calls attention to the impact of climate change-fueled heat impacts on health in communities of all sizes, and a need for more rural heat resilience research to inform practice.</p><p><a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joclim.2025.100432" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">doi.org/10.1016/j.joclim.2025.</span><span class="invisible">100432</span></a><br><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/extremeheat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extremeheat</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ruralhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ruralhealth</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/heatresilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>heatresilience</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>With less funding and more hunger, a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DentonTX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DentonTX</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityGarden</span></a> still wants to grow and feed more</p><p> By Lucinda Breeding-Gonzales Staff Writer Mar 14, 2025</p><p>"Friends of Shiloh Field Community Garden always plans to harvest more crops for its local partner <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodPantries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodPantries</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HomelessShelters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomelessShelters</span></a>. This year, the community garden’s board chair said the volunteer-run farm expects more people to need the food they grow.</p><p>"'Every year we try to outdo ourselves,' said Christina Proctor, the chair of the board for Friends of Shiloh Garden, the nonprofit that operates the community garden. 'We always anticipate making more than we did the last year. Talking to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodBanks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodBanks</span></a> and they tell us every year that we have increased the number of requests for food for us. Ever since 2020, it just keeps going up.'</p><p>"Food banks across the country saw both hunger and food insecurity spike when the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered businesses and closed offices, shedding workers and leaving families without paychecks. Inflation and rising costs have kept some families strapped and struggling to feed their families. And as North Texas has grown, problems such as hunger, homelessness and food insecurity have grown with it.</p><p>"The immediate future for hungry Texans of all ages looks grim. But recent cuts are affecting children greatly. The School Nutrition Association reported Monday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USDA</span></a>] announced it would cut the $660 million <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LocalFoodForSchools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LocalFoodForSchools</span></a> program for 2025.</p><p>"Politico, citing a spokesperson for the USDA, reported that the department also cut the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program. The program would have funded about $500 million this year to support food banks.</p><p>"For the second year in a row, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission opted not to participate in the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EBT</span></a>] program, which would have paid $120 per eligible child for families already receiving food benefits through the summer months.</p><p>"The program is meant to fill the gap left when public schools are on summer break, and children who qualify for free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch are vulnerable to greater food insecurity. The commission opted out of the program when the state Legislature didn’t move to allocate the money needed to get the program up and running on Monday.</p><p>"Denton residents learned this week that Lovepacs Denton, a nonprofit that gives food to Denton ISD students to get them through school breaks and long weekends, will close after the school year ends in May.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Austerity</span></a> is impacting state and local assistance services all at once. Celia Cole, the CEO of Feeding Texas, said that cuts to programs like this not only put more Texans at risk for hunger, but they also reduce stimulus spending that benefits the state’s farms. Feeding Texas is a network of 20 food banks that feed hungry Texans and advocates for policies that prevent hunger. Cole said the Summer EBT funding could have fed Texas children and teenagers last year.</p><p>"'The first opportunity that Texas had to run the program would have been in summer of 2024, and we missed out on it because, I think really more than anything, was that Texas Health and Human Services Commission ... had so much else on their plate with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Medicaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicaid</span></a> unwinding,' Cole said. 'They were facing really serious backlogs and getting people enrolled in Medicaid.'</p><p>"Then, as the deadline for summer of 2025 got nearer, Cole said, it became clear that the commission would need money from the state to administer the program. Monday was the deadline for the Legislature to allocate the funds. Cole said programs like Feeding Texas will have to stretch their resources and be strategic with funding and food.</p><p>"For Denton nonprofits, leaders are preparing to do the same. The Friends of Shiloh Garden is keeping close tabs on costs. Proctor said seeds aren’t as costly as donors might think, but over the last two summers, water costs have soared.</p><p>"'Our biggest expense in production is water,' she said. 'We’ve been very blessed that Denton Bible Church has been helping us subsidize our water bill by giving us some money to help offset that cost.'</p><p>"In 2023, when Denton saw about 55 days of triple-digit heat, Proctor said water costs were almost too much.</p><p>"'That was the year we almost had too close because it was just so expensive,' Proctor said. 'Our water bills that year were just ridiculous.'</p><p>"The operation installed drip irrigation and weed cloth to cover the drip lines and saw savings. But the nonprofit is still looking to serve more people and give its partners more of what they want."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://dentonrc.com/news/local/with-less-funding-and-more-hunger-a-denton-community-garden-preps-to-feed-more-here/article_af069008-00ec-11f0-9ad9-4b23e88d5c9e.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dentonrc.com/news/local/with-l</span><span class="invisible">ess-funding-and-more-hunger-a-denton-community-garden-preps-to-feed-more-here/article_af069008-00ec-11f0-9ad9-4b23e88d5c9e.html</span></a></p><p>To support the community garden, www.shilohfield.com for donation and volunteer information.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommunityGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityGardens</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USDAFundingCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USDAFundingCuts</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodInsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodInsecurity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BadDOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BadDOGE</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hunger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hunger</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeHeat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeHeat</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Texas</span></a></p>
