Civil Eats

Civil Eats is an independent nonprofit newsroom covering food and agriculture policy, run by its founders and funded mainly by foundations and individual donors. Its reporting and framing favor sustainable agriculture, small farms, food access, and public-health goals. Its current coverage of the second Trump administration is broadly critical, focusing on USDA budget and grant cuts, staffing reductions, and gaps between MAHA promises and policy, though it also reports neutrally on administration actions such as farmer aid payments.
