Food is politics
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. We are taught that we are separate from the Earth, and that individual health issues are a matter of personal failure rather than systemic failure.
Understanding food systems helps us understand our own health. Healing our individual relationship with food helps us heal the system.
It’s all connected.
The foods we choose can be an opportunity to build community, resist corporate power, regenerate the Earth and “vote” with our plates… it’s RADICAL!
Food is culture
Food tells the story of who we are — our roots, migrations, and memories. Every dish carries language, land, and lineage. Yet globalization and industrialization have stripped food of its cultural context, turning something sacred into something standardized.
When we lose touch with ancestral ingredients and traditional ways of eating, we lose part of ourselves. Reclaiming cultural foods is a way of remembering — of honoring the people and places that shaped us.
Cooking, sharing, and eating together become acts of preservation and belonging.
Through food, we reconnect to identity, heritage, and the deeper meaning of nourishment.
