Civil Eats
An independent, non-profit-supported daily news site covering the American food system — investigative agriculture journalism, food-policy reporting, climate-and-food coverage, equity-and-justice analysis. Founded 2009 by Naomi Starkman. One of the few mission-driven outlets still doing real food-systems reporting after the consolidation of food media into lifestyle and recipe content.

What they do
Civil Eats is an independent food-systems news publication founded in 2009 by Naomi Starkman. Daily reporting on agriculture, food policy, climate-and-food, the workforce of the food system (from farmworkers through restaurant labor), and the political economy underneath everyone’s plate. The coverage is the kind that conventional food media has almost entirely stopped producing — investigative work on consolidation, regulatory capture, supply-chain conditions, and policy reform.
Why it’s listed
A directory of aligned operators is incomplete without the institutions watching the food system itself. Civil Eats is the journalistic backbone of the US sustainable-agriculture conversation — when [[directory|the directory]] lists a [[real-organic-project|Real Organic Project]], a Regenerative Organic Alliance, an Organic Valley, or a Truelove Seeds, much of the public record on those operations was built by Civil Eats’s reporting. Knowledge-care tier work, at the level where it shapes policy.
Bioregional fit
Civil Eats is [[berkeley|Berkeley]]-based and operates inside the [[san-francisco-bay-area]] media-and-NGO ecosystem, though its scope is fully national.
