About Food Democracy

Food – any nourishing substance that is eaten, drunk, or otherwise taken into the body to sustain life, provide energy, promote growth.

Democracy – from the Greek words demos, meaning “people,” and kratos, meaning “authority.” A form of government in which the people have the right to control their own destiny.  In a democracy the people have the final authority, they have the right to make or at least influence decisions that affect their everyday lives.

Food Democracy – The right of all people to an adequate, safe, nutritious, sustainable, food supply.

Information is power. We strive to inform, educate, and provide a call to action on the issues of food, nutrition, and food safety as it relates to ourselves and our world.

We believe we can all make a difference. Every informed decision to make a change for the better is a step forward. Every food purchase is a vote. What we eat, matters.
