Food Tank Summit

Listen to farmers! They care deeply about the land and are truly the front lines of building a better food system. A7: #foodsustainability

The U.K. government has announced yesterday that it is planning on banning the distribution and sale of plastic straws, stirrers, and Q-Tips, CNBC reports. This is an example of our power to create small changes as individuals that ripple as we spread them. A4 #foodsustainability

“For people’s habits and diets to change, food access is necessary. But it is emphatically not sufficient.” - @TamarHaspel tells #FoodTank. A2: #foodsustainability (@BarillaCFN #TwitterChat).

“I believe in regulation. If there were regulations that restricted certain kinds of marketing activities, that would create a level playing field for food companies." -@MarionNestle tells #FoodTank. A1: #FoodSustainability (@BarillaCFN #TwitterChat)

America -- where junk is a food group, and multicolored marshmallows are part of a complete breakfast -- runs in part on predatory profiteering and the willful propagation of obesity.” -@DrDavidKatz tells #FoodTank. A1: #foodsustainability (@BarillaCFN #TwitterChat).

We also need to support our family farmers, farm workers, and support food workers across the system, support their efforts to make the food system better for all of us, and support their campaigns to join unions, improve safety and working conditions. A5: #FoodSustainability

A3: #foodsustainability starts w/ the production of food, fiber, or other plant or animal products using farming techniques that protect the environment, public health, human communities, and animal welfare (#TwitterChat w/ @BarillaCFN)
