️ FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The system is broken — but the fix is growing
THE PROBLEM: OUR FOOD SYSTEM IS FAILING US
Today’s global food model is built for mass profit — not mass nourishment.
- Ultra-processed foods dominate diets
- 1/3 of all food is wasted — while 800M people go hungry
- Food travels thousands of miles before hitting your plate
- Industrial farms harm soil, pollute water & fuel climate change
Big Ag = Big Risks:
- Corporate monopolies control supply
- Farmer livelihoods are crushed
- Shocks like war or drought = empty shelves
- Nutrition is sidelined for shelf life
THE SOLUTION: GROW LOCAL, FEED GLOBAL
Community-based food systems restore health to people and the planet.
What it looks like:
✅ Local farms, gardens, and food hubs
✅ Community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs
✅ Regenerative and agroecological practices
✅ Cooperative ownership from seed to table
WHY IT WORKS
Community food systems deliver:
- Fair income for farmers
- Fresh, nutritious food for all
- Healthier soil, air & water
- Resilient local supply chains
- ️ Stronger, more connected communities
It’s not just sustainable — it’s regenerative.
From Detroit to Nairobi to Bogotá — local food revolutions are feeding the future.

BIG PICTURE
Community food systems are about more than meals —
They’re about health. Dignity. Climate. Control.
They feed the people, not just the profits.
