Food Activism
For some, food isn’t just a source of nutrition, it’s an expression of their beliefs. Several political advocacy and action groups have sprung up in the field of food activism.
Insights for Food Activism
- Socially responsible food isn't a coherent, single movement. Find your niche by going to the "about," "who we are" or "our philosophy" links on different sites to glean the organization's focus.
- Your involvement with an organization will be most effective if you work locally. See if an organization you like has a chapter in your area.
