Food systems work perfectly...
...for the handful of multinational corporations who control them, that is 😱
We need to focus less on profit, and more on people and planet.
To achieve this we need government action and strong social movements, says @stuartgillespie.bsky.social

What would it take to transform the global food system?
Coinciding with #UNFSS2025 we’re sharing a series of videos from @foodequitycentre.bsky.social hosted by IDS.
For @philbakernz.bsky.social redistribution of resources to enable more households to access healthy food is the key.

Food systems are unfair, often built on legacies of colonialism. We need improved policies to support people marginalised in food systems, especially those working in fields, factories & hospitality.
