Franchises and chains have come to dominate small communities, but those same chains have eliminated a lot of the greasy spoons, places you didn't want to eat in the first place.

Without food, we cannot survive, and that is why issues that affect the food industry are so important.

About 30% of fresh food is thrown away in supermarkets every day, although they will deny it. British households are throwing an estimated 30% of their food away, too.

People complain that cities don't have fresh, sustainable food, but it's just not true.

Nobody trusts the industrial food system to give them good food.

Societies are not sustainable without institutions.
