Document Summary

The global food movement is a social movement. It represents a group of people who want to change food. Starts from the idea that our food system is broken and needs to be changed. There are a lot of different issues with food, so that means there are many different food movements. Goal of the food movement: change the way that we interact w food, and change how we think about our food and how we use our food. Because we are no longer the ones who are making our food, we are so disconnected with it. The policies and laws associated w food are profit driven, not food driven. The idea is to transform our relationship w food and to move away from industrial models. Using food to talk about other social problems- ex animal rights really looks at economic issues.
