Postgrowth-econoom Tim Jackson: ‘We hebben meer zorg nodig, niet nog meer rijkdom’
Zorg is veel belangrijker dan economische groei, stelt de Britse ecologisch econoom Tim Jackson aan de vooravond van de verkiezingen. ‘We moeten de overgang maken naar een duurzame samenleving.’

💪 Citizens in #TheFoodConversation want businesses help to account, so that profit doesn’t come before people or planet. Our report with @timjackson.org.uk shows Big Food is a false economy, with unhealthy food costing £268bn every year – almost equivalent to the total annual UK healthcare spend.

🎧 Great episode on Big Food & the power these companies wield in our society.

🧩 As @bmj.com's Jennifer Richardson says: Big Food has an industry playbook they use to delay or water down legislation and protect shareholder profit – from corporate social responsibility spin to regulatory loopholes.
