5 days ago

We have abandoned our survival to food companies obsessed with profits instead of our well-being. They harvest the money, while we collect the by-products: • Climate change • Nature destruction • Traditional food culture erosion • Social and economic injustices • Diseases To achieve their goals, they deceived us. And made us accept the unacceptable. But how? And what can we do about this situation? In every episode of Food Broken Promises, you will explore how our Food System got its way and learn about the people fighting to change the system.
