Coming your way - a Special Edition of Making Waves magazine about CED, social enterprise, and food ...
Growing Hope
Some say that a food system rooted in big corporations, free trade, and high tech remains the way to go. Others see the future in smaller farms and enterprises that make nourishment integral to enriching communities and to preserving the Earth. Here are some appetizers:
Why Food? Why Now?
The food system has come to be all about efficiency, quantity, and economy - not health, employment, environment, and self-reliance. The system is ripe for change ... if we get organized. Read it now.
Food Facts
Canadians have achieved unprecedented levels of efficiency in the production and distribution of food. So how come it's undermining our health and well-being? Read it now.
Building the Ecological Food System
FoodShare Toronto has grown from a food bank into a champion of community-led initiatives in food preparation, education, enterprise, and public policy. Read it now.
