The Good Food Revolution is based on the following principles:

Food should be healthy and nutritious. This means that it should be free from harmful chemicals, pesticides, and additives. It should also be rich in nutrients that are essential for our health.
Food should be produced sustainably. This means that it should be produced in a way that minimizes our impact on the environment. We should use sustainable farming practices that protect our soil, water, and air. We should also reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
Food should be fair and equitable. This means that food should be affordable and accessible to everyone, regardless of their income or location. We should also support farmers and food workers who are fairly compensated for their work.

The Good Food Revolution is a global movement that is bringing together people from all walks of life. It includes farmers, food producers, chefs, retailers, consumers, and activists. We are all working together to create a more sustainable and nutritious food system for everyone.

What's Driving the Good Food Revolution?

There are a number of factors that are driving the Good Food Revolution. These include:

The growing concern about the negative impacts of our current food system on our health. We are now facing an epidemic of obesity, heart disease, and other chronic diseases. These diseases are linked to the unhealthy foods that we are eating.
The growing awareness of the environmental impact of our food system. The production of food is a major contributor to climate change, water pollution, and deforestation. We need to change the way we produce food if we want to protect our planet.
The growing demand for fair and equitable food. People are increasingly concerned about the working conditions of food workers and the impact of our food system on small-scale farmers. We want to create a food system that is fair for everyone.
