We need to shift from “food monotony” to beauty, nutrition, and diversity. This transformation of our food systems is one of the most critical issues of our time—and taking on this food monopoly is one of the more solvable challenges we face.
"We know how to grow food and shift diets to benefit our bodies, benefit biodiversity, benefit our climate....what are the levers that we need to pull to catalyze a massive transition from monotony to diversity?"

Government action on food can improve the nation’s health, protect the NHS & bolster the economy.
Like the smoking ban, citizens support policies that set guardrails for businesses so that public health is put before private profit.

Our diet is as great a threat to our economy as it is to our health. Nine times as great as previously thought. Whichever government is in power in 10 years time will be crippled by this if we don’t act.

About 50 000 wild species are used for food, energy, medicine, material & other purposes.
This includes many plants.
But often these plants are not sourced or used sustainably, which threatens #biodiversity.
