Real Food Systems
Global Adoption of Agroecology
For decades, the so-called progress in our food systems has eroded true food security. Industrial agriculture has made us reliant on high-input, low-resilience systems that are both accelerating climate change and deeply vulnerable to it. We are degrading our soils, losing our pollinators, and increasing the risk of crop failure through monoculture and chemical dependence.
Real Food Systems advocates for a radical shift: the global adoption of agroecology. Not as a niche alternative, but as a transformative approach that regenerates ecosystems, restores soil health, and builds resilient, nutrient-rich food systems that can thrive in a changing climate.
