Food Activism
For some, food is not just a source of nutrition, but an expression of their beliefs. Several political advocacy and action groups have sprung up in the food world: below are a few organizations that voice the concerns of dedicated sustainable foodies.
Dulcinea's Insight
- Socially responsible food is not a coherent, single movement. Some groups are about the environment, some take a moralistic approach, still others are about worker's rights and economics. There's a little something for everyone. 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.
