Farmers, Food, Future

The global industrial food system contributes not only to environmental degradation but also to various forms of social inequality.

Comparing three initiatives who practice reform, innovation and resistance offers compelling insights into how and why change happens - or does not happen - and what it takes to build powerful alliances for a more just and resilient food future.
