Summary

Australia’s food system is more than just broken—it’s killing us. The groundbreaking Fair Food: Inspiring People to Change the World tells the new story of food – the story of how food and farming in Australia are dramatically transforming at the grassroots to match the transition of our times. This book tells the stories of innovation, from local food hubs and the GE-free movements to open-source software code, community-shared and urban agriculture, radical transparency, ethics of scale, backyard food-forests and regenerative agriculture. In a time of bullying corporations, supermarket monopolies and environmental degradation, Fair Food offers compelling and inspiring stories of personal transformation from ‘ordinary’ people.
