Mississippi is many things to different people.
To some it is this. To others, it is this.
Mississippi Is All This And Much More.
Vast landscapes and rural county-sides are just a part of the this great state.
There is night-life in the casinos, sun-drenched beaches on the coast and there are cities.

Mississippi Is Growing
With more people making Mississippi their home each year, we could soon be facing some of the issues that plague urban areas around the world as we struggle to feed our growing population with a food economy that is rapidly becoming obsolete due to corporate greed and policies that ensure that some have the best picking of the first-fruit, while others go hungry.

Hunger in Mississippi
Hunger In Mississippi
Although hunger is not a new phenomenon in the U.S. or anywhere else in the world, it is a man-made condition because God has provided us all with a bountiful earth, but only a few have laid claim to it so that we all might buy from them – or starve.
Mississippi Food Deserts
Driving on Mississippi’s winding highways, you are sure to see farmland, cattle, silos and the like. And it is easy to think that there is plenty of food for all. But this is not the case, especially where Food Deserts exist. Food Deserts are areas that do not have the supermarkets and grocery stores that we have become accustomed to visiting to fill our pantries and kitchen shelves.
The Challenges Of Making Ends Meet
Farm Land
After joining The Attala County Self-Help Co-op, to learn more about using my land to produce food, I have become aware of hunger and passionate about helping others to become empowered by growing things in their homes, on their balconies and where ever they have a bit of sunlight pouring through a window.

Community Action For Healthy Food
I have been astonished to learn the role that limited access to quality and affordable produce plays in the lives of many Americans. Mental and physical health are effected by lack of nourishing vegetables. I am also proud to report that there are countless groups working to change this dilemma. http://www.feedingamerica.org/about-us/how-we-work/
