Through high-impact advocacy, we are building a food system for animals, people, and our planet. Today’s heavily consolidated food systems place most power in the hands of multi-billion dollar corporations while working for nearly no one else. Over 99 percent of animals farmed in the U.S. are confined to factory farms that cause immense animal suffering, exploit workers, harm local communities, and drive widespread environmental devastation. At Farm Sanctuary, we know that there’s a better way to nourish each other. That’s why we are working across movements to build the good: equitable and sustainable food systems that benefit all of us: animals, people, and our planet. As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on all that we’ve accomplished together in 2023 and share the good moments.

What are “blue foods?” They’re any food that comes from an aquatic source – like fish or oysters. Blue foods are an essential source of protein for billions of people, with many environmental benefits. But they’re also increasingly a source of global conflict. Learn how we can help to limit that conflict and secure a sustainable future for blue foods in this week’s episode of Nature Breaking: https://lnkd.in/ePyEs_DV

Today is World Food Day. This day is celebrated every year worldwide on October 16 to commemorate the date of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. This afternoon, I attended the screening of Digging In by Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems Funders (SAFSF). This film is designed to help funders understand concentration and consolidation, land access, and climate change and explore the connection these issues have to their work and the work of their grantees. The topics discussed in this film included who our future farmers are, land access, and climate change impacts made me think about our current food system. Earlier this year, I attended the 18th Annual Chicago Food Justice Summit, where I saw the future of our food system discussed with the inclusion of minority groups throughout the city of Chicago, which opened my eyes to the diversity within agriculture and food policy. Currently, we are approaching the time for renewal of our next Farm Bill, which will impact farmers and many citizens within our country who are supported by SNAP benefits. It is important to express what you would like to see within the next Farm Bill.

Hi all!!!! World Food Day, observed on October 16th each year, serves as a global reminder of the pressing need to address worldwide hunger and promote food security. This day commemorates the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1945, emphasizing collective efforts to eliminate hunger. World Food Day seeks to raise awareness about the challenges in ensuring everyone has access to safe and nutritious food. It calls for global solidarity to work towards sustainable agriculture and a world where no one goes to bed hungry. Initiatives, events, and discussions on this day aim to inspire action to achieve zero hunger and create a more food-secure planet. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking
