Food culture goes deeper than food systems. It's as ancient as human culture. And in this time of polycrisis, food culture—how we're connected to the places, people, and beings that nourish us—is how we resist and persist. This year Food Culture Collective has been offering places for convening, dreaming, and troublemaking to resource culture makers, nourish narrative transformation, and make liberatory options tangible and visible. Dive into how we've been catalyzing change with our communities in our impact report—"We're Stronger Together: Catalyzing Cultural Change" at https://lnkd.in/gZ6Yrxvb #foodculture #foodjustice #foodcommunity #climatejustice #foodstories #narrativestrategy #culturechange
