Why are food systems inequitable? Because they have been captured by a handful of transnational corporations says @stuartgillespie.bsky.social

Transforming food systems will require bringing these corporations under control, and focusing more on people and planet.

We need to move away from food systems which encourage overconsumption and overproduction, says IDS researcher Lidia Cabral from @foodequitycentre.bsky.social

As citizens, how can we reassess our relationship with food to help achieve this change?

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.

@deewoods.bsky.social explains how food systems can be changed.

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.
