Food is political.
Our broken food systems are at the heart of our climate crisis and expose larger systemic issues of inequality, wasteful consumerism, and disconnection from nature. Many of us fundamentally believe that we are separate from the Earth, failing to understand that everything is connected.
At the same time, food is an area where all of us have the power to make a difference. We can be activists for a better world via planting our own food, choosing to support local and sustainable farmers, boycotting big corporations, and starting to “vote” with our plates.
Explore connections between food, climate, discourse & politics.
We often forget that the planet we are living on has given us all the elements that make up our bodies.
The water in our flesh, our bones, and all the microscopic cells inside our bodies come from the Earth and are part of the Earth.
The Earth is not just the environment we live in.
We are the Earth
and we are always carrying her within us.
—Thich Nhat Hanh
