March Seed Sampler

Food Justice & Sustainability


New Challenges and New Possibilities abound in the coming decade. None of the major trends we’re focusing on this year stand alone – all are intertwined. This month’s issue covering food justice and sustainability is no exception, touching other key issues such as the environmental crisis, acknowledging and embracing our multicultural, multi-ethnic future, and realizing that global shifts in power will also be affected by where our food comes from and how it’s traded.

From the negative news of the feminization of male frogs due to pesticide use to the imaginative use of solar power to promote a sustainable farming infrastructures in Benin, challenges and opportunities are all around us. How we respond to the issues of food justice and sustainability in the coming decade will, for good or bad, impact all of us. Our hope is that this issue of the Seed Sampler will not only provide insight into the issues but also practical ideas how to respond, stimulating further discussion and creativity.
