In indigenous value system, humans are an integral part of nature; they are not above it. The soil is not simply viewed as a source of food but as a living entity that must also be taken care of and nourished so that it can sustain our lives. Food is grown not only to address hunger, but also to heal our body, mind, and spirit, and to keep indigenous knowledge and cultures alive. Growing food enriches local biodiversity, i.e. the sum total of all different life forms on earth that depend on each other for survival.

The terms used to refer to the current dominant food system are: ‘industrial food system’, ‘corporate food system’,\u00a0‘agri-food system’, and ‘capitalist neoliberal food system’.<\/p>\n

This system is based on large-scale industrialized food production, processing, packing, and transporting through increasingly globalized value chains. One example is wheat that is grown in Ukraine or South Africa, processed into flour in Turkey or Indonesia, and exported and made into daily food products like bread in Italy and noodles in Korea.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=”550″]\n

But what impacts does this dominant food system have for other existing food systems, like peasants’ or Indigenous Peoples’ food systems? And what does it mean for our planet and the wellbeing of all people?<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text max_width=”550″]\n

Before food items reach our tables, local food systems are altered, people and communities are displaced, and small-scale farmers are marginalized. They end up losing control and access to natural resources, including seeds. Vast territories are deforested and converted into plantations of monocrops or single high-value crops such as soybeans, wheat, maize, and potatoes, which are planted across the same vast areas of land year after year.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0diverse\u00a0and localized\u00a0food systems\u00a0continue to\u00a0exist, and\u00a0people organize to create\u00a0new ones, these are continuously marginalized due to the expansion of the dominant industrial food system’s control\u202fover natural resources\u00a0and\u00a0people.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0mere\u00a0consumers,\u00a0we\u00a0may not see the sheer injustice of this dominant food model because we are at the far end of its system. But it is very likely that the brand of soy-fed chicken that we love to fry and the breakfast corn cereals that we always buy are just some of many\u00a0unfair\u00a0ingredients, which are unfortunately not displayed on the labels of the food products we\u00a0purchase\u00a0in supermarkets.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_icon icon_family=”iconsmind” icon_style=”border-animation” icon_border_thickness=”2px” icon_color_type=”color_scheme” icon_color=”Accent-Color” icon_padding=”20px” icon_iconsmind=”iconsmind-Left2″ url=”..\/plate-power” icon_size=”25″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][nectar_btn size=”small” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” color_override=”rgba(119,90,177,0.25)” icon_family=”none” text=”back” url=”..\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_icon icon_family=”iconsmind” icon_style=”border-animation” icon_border_thickness=”2px” icon_color_type=”color_scheme” icon_color=”Accent-Color” icon_padding=”20px” icon_iconsmind=”iconsmind-Right2″ url=”..\/plate-poisons” icon_size=”25″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][nectar_btn size=”medium” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” color_override=”rgba(119,90,177,0.25)” icon_family=”none” text=”back” url=”..\/”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
