Fair Food, a documentary produced by the Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance.
For far too long, we’ve taken our food and the people who produce, transform and distributed it for granted. This is perfectly understandable: our food system creates the appearance of abundance of food and much of it is cheap, in terms of the checkout price. But this seeming abundance rests on fragile foundations. Cracks are beginning to show. Many of our soils are eroded and degraded, and each year we lose thousands of hectares of our best farmland to the mining industry and suburban sprawl.
All over Australia, thousands of women and men are working for a better food and farming system. A fairer system, one that feeds all of us well and looks after the land, the farmers and the food workers.
They are Australia’s Fair Food Pioneers. Their stories need to be told, and shared as widely as possible.
