Food Ethics 101: Food Future Mapped Out

The Food Ethics Council (UK) has launched a new toolkit designed to help organizations plan for the uncertain future of the food system. The Council has created four future scenarios sets of different but equally plausible stories about the future of food in 2022. www.foodethicscouncil.org or www.foodethicscouncil.org/files/FECscenariosreport(web)_0.pdf

"Food for Thought and Action A Popular Education Tool

"Food for Thought and Action: A Food Sovereignty Curriculum is a remarkably useful popular education tool; designed by Grassroots International and the National Family Farm Coalition. It offers a practical way to strengthen a growing food sovereignty movement that includes consumers, farmers, environmentalists and faith communities. Building from the experiences of literally millions of grassroots activists worldwide, Food for Thought and Action challenges us to fix our broken food system."
-- Michael Pollan, Author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and The Botany of Desire

The food sovereignty movement is an exciting grassroots movement that has developed internationally in response to the havoc wrought by the current food system, which has left nearly a billion hungry people around the world and millions more are forced from failed farms.

How can we respond to such a massive and urgent problem? The answer, according to small farmers, farmworkers, fishers, consumers, environmentalists and indigenous peoples throughout the world, is food sovereignty. And to generate an informed and vibrant movement for food sovereignty, we must first understand how the food system works, its failures, and the hopeful alternatives that are blossoming throughout the world.

Food for Thought and Action: A Food Sovereignty Curriculum does just that. The curriculum is divided into four modules: one each for consumers, faith and anti-hunger groups, environmentalists and farmers, all designed to help:

• Understand the ways in which current U.S. agricultural, trade and energy policies undermine the right of communities and nations around the world to determine their own food policies;
• See how food sovereignty and locally based food systems rooted in social justice and environmental sustainability can be practical alternatives to unsustainable industrial agriculture;
• Envision how people can act together across borders to build local food systems and pass fair agriculture, trade and energy policies.

The curriculum is free. You can download one module at a time, the fact sheets or the entire curriculum at grassrootsonline.org

Spread the word about this curriculum to others who are concerned about the food crisis and are ready to take action.
