Food Movements Unite!
Eric Holt-Gimenez, Executive Director of Food First/Institute for Food and Development Policy, and Rosalinda Guillen, Executive Director of Community to Community(C2C), will be speaking on the powerful work being done globally to regain control of our ailing food systems.
In this latest publication from Food First, the global food movement is diverse, widespread, refreshingly creative and tremendously powerful. Food Movements Unite! Strategies to Transform Our Food Systems brings us the words, insights and vision of the remarkable farmers, workers and consumers from rural and urban communities around the globe as they address the critical question: How can we unite to transform the global food system?
21 activists and practitioners came together “from the trenches” of the food, fuel and environmental crises to speak to the future of the food movement. Eric Holt-Gimenez is the editor of this collaborative publication. Rosalinda Guillen and Community to Community are represented in the final chapter, ‘Transforming our food system by transforming our movement.’
The Institute for Food and Development Policy/Food First is committed to eliminating the injustices that cause hunger. Founded by Francis Moore Lappe and Joseph Collins 35 years ago, in 1975, Food First continues its analysis of the ways economic globalization impacts the food system and jeopardizes all people’s human rights.
