This is an interesting food article from Poynter Online:
Food & News: Bringing
the Two Together (PDF, 135 KB)
In a nutshell, the piece falls under the category "agricultural reporting" and points out the various struggles people are experiencing with rising food prices.
You want stories that will hit people where they live? There are plenty of ways to do this on the food beat, where we often take national issues, such as rising food prices, and localize them.
Here's just an example:
Jill Silva, food editor at The Kansas City (Mo.) Star, documented her family's experience living on the equivalent of a food stamp allotment for a week. She wrote and blogged about what it took to feed her family of four - including her then 13-year-old son - breakfast, lunch and dinner for seven days on $5.54 a day.
The article is well-written with good links, and worth a read.
