Why is supporting local "territorial" #food markets so important?

"They benefit people, communities & the planet" says
@jennifer-clapp.bsky.social:

🔸make healthy food accessible;
🔸meet the needs of low income people;
🔸provide resilient livelihoods for producers.

There is huge opportunity to benefit from synergies between agroecology and territorial markets to support more sustainable food systems and address uneven power dynamics.

See new article on this theme by Lillian Roberts in the Daily Maverick ⬇️

It’s time to get territorial — for food security, jobs and the environment
A study in 2019 found crops like rice and wheat are declining due to the climate crisis, while sorghum, which is more drought-resistant, had an increased harvest.
