You, me, us: making a difference together

Control of the food system, in every sector, from the production of fertilizer and pesticides to processing and sales, is concentrated in an ever smaller number of hands. How can we regenerate it through our choices?

The most important thing to bear in mind is that we can change it. Citizens of the world have an extraordinary collective power, and through our daily choices we can restore value to the food system, feeding the world in a healthy manner and ridding ourselves of a toxic system which thinks exclusively in terms of profit margins.

Now’s the time to show it! With radical remedies we can regenerate and re-establish our relationships, both with the Earth and among our human community.
