Next in our @foodequitycentre.bsky.social series asking how to transform the food system, @stuartgillespie.bsky.social! thanks again @chalkstonefilms.bsky.social !

Food Equity Centre @foodequitycentre.bsky.social · Jul 23

Food systems work perfectly...

...for the handful of multinational corporations who control them, that is 😱

We need to focus less on profit, and more on people and planet.

To achieve this we need government action and strong social movements, says @stuartgillespie.bsky.social

Modern food systems encourage overconsumption and overproduction.

As citizens, we need to reassess our relationship with food.
