— Nora Bateson, Bateson Institute

"Good food is food that makes your community stronger, that makes the environment more biodiverse and more resilient, it makes you healthier; and you have the right to access this good food.
Food is not a commodity. Food is life. Food is pleasure. Food is how we express our love for one and another. Food is how we define our culture, it is how we define who we are. So food has to be understood as part of this bigger context of meaning.
It is about how we create our relationship with each other, and it is about our relationship with the environment itself and it is about our relationship with future generations and it connects us to our past”
- Michael Fakhri, the UN special rapporteur
