edible INDY | Rethinking Hunger: Why Feeding Those in Need Must Focus on Nourishment

Wholesome Wave Farmers Market

Excerpt from edible INDY article by Joy Manning on September 23, 2021.

EAT. DRINK. THINK.

Please join us in supporting the work of our featured subjects—Michel Nischan, sustainable food advocate and co-founder of Wholesome Wave; and native food historian and chef, Dr. Lois Ellen Frank—two heroes from our local communities who are tireless champions in the battle against nutrition insecurity and hunger.

Dr. Frank says “the power of one can be huge,” and we could not agree more. One person, one organization, one community—each purpose driven, can massively impact our food system. We believe that every person should have access to a high-quality diet that is filled with nutritious foods that are raised and grown using sustainable practices. As consumer advocates we all play a critical role in reshaping the demand for this, and we all must be diligent in advancing this agenda if we are to ensure that no one is left behind.
