Executive Director Wenonah Hauter will be in your community talking about
her new book Foodopoly. Join us at the Regulator Bookshop in Durham on 5/10
for a discussion about the book, the problems facing our food system and
what we can do about it.
Foodopoly takes
aim at the real culprits that are threatening our food system.
Consolidation and corporate control of food production are preventing
farmers from raising healthy crops and limiting the choices that people
can make in the grocery store.
You may not know this, but besides being the Executive Director of Food
& Water Watch, Wenonah grew up on a family farm that her husband runs
today as a Community Supported Agriculture project (CSA). The farm
provides healthy vegetables to over 500 families in the Washington, D.C.
area.
Wenonah's time on the farm and working in Washington, D.C. as an advocate
has helped her see first hand how agricultural policy has been hijacked
by lobbyists, driving out independent farmers and food processors in
favor of the likes of Cargill, Tyson, Kraft and ConAgra. Let's talk about
how to create a better food system, not one dominated by profits and
exploitation.
Fixing our food system will require a complete structural shift, a
grassroots movement to reshape our food system from seed to table — a
change that is about politics, not just personal choice. Join Wenonah to help take back our food system.
