FoodUnfolded, Vol.2

Many of us see the food on our plate without really knowing its story: where and how it was produced, and the impact its production has on people, communities and the environment.

Yet, food production is currently responsible for a number of environmental and social issues, while becoming more vulnerable to the consequences of the very same issues it feeds into. With increasing temperatures, decreasing availability of arable land and a growing world population, our food system can no longer afford to continue with unsustainable practices – it must undergo a massive transformation.

Part of the problem is that many of us have lost touch with where our food comes from. That’s why we created FoodUnfolded^® – a global digital platform designed to reconnect people with their food and empower them to change our food system for the better.

Our articles, videos and podcasts will take you on a journey through our food system, covering everything from where our food comes from and how it’s made, to the chemistry behind food and how it affects our bodies, to the impact that food production can have on people and the environment – and innovations and alternative practices that could help reduce that impact.

Learning more about our food and its origins can deeply impact our food choices, the system our choices affect and ultimately, help protect our planet. By bringing facts and stories to life, we hope to help you navigate these everyday decisions through knowledge. Together, we can transform the future of our food.
