What are some concrete, effective steps we can take NOW to make our food system more sustainable? FAIR FOOD, a soon-to-be-released book by Oran Hesterman, has answers. On this special NGFN webinar, Oran will share some of his solutions born from years of experience.

A host of books and films in recent years have documented in great detail the dangers of our current food system, but advice on what to do about it largely begins and ends with the admonition to “eat local” or “eat organic.” This advice is not helpful if, as Chicago Congressman Bobby Rush once pointed out, you can buy ketchup where you live, but no fresh tomatoes. Just as you can’t impact the course of climate change by simply switching to CFL bulbs, you can’t fix the broken food system by simply growing a backyard garden. It requires redesigning our food system.
