The ROOT: rebooting the food system
We have been talking about it for a long time: our food system needs to change to keep our planet – and ourselves – healthy. Now is the time to act. We know the food system is complex, siloed and sticky. It has unwritten and written ‘rules’ and incentives that lead to unhealthy, unfair and unsustainable outcomes.
At the ROOT, we will trigger positive tipping points in the food system to change this.
This is the time for the food system revolution!
