Food Fight

'Essential' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN 'Punchy' JULIAN BAGGINI 'Gripping' TIM SPECTOR WINNER OF THE GUILD OF FOOD WRITERS AWARDS SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORTNUM & MASON FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS Food is life but our food system is killing us. Our global food system lies in the tight grip of a handful of powerful players who are prioritising profit at any cost - despite rising obesity, ill-health and a worsening climate crisis - aided by governments who are letting them get away with it. Stuart Gillespie, a veteran of four decades at the frontline of global food policy, reveals how we can transform it into a system that can nourish all of us, as well as the planet we live on. Both unflinching exposé and revolutionary call to arms, Food Fight maps a way towards a new system and reveals the solutions within our grasp.

Stuart Gillespie has been fighting to transform our dysfunctional food system for the past forty years. Stuart worked with a range of UN agencies across the world, before joining the International Food Policy Research Institute in 1999. Here he founded the Regional Network on AIDS, Livelihoods and Food Security, the Transform Nutrition research consortium, a flagship Agriculture for Nutrition and Health programme and the Stories of Change initiative, amongst a host of other interventions in public food and nutrition policy. Stuart's newsletter, Food Fight Files, tackles the political and commercial drivers of food injustice and malnutrition and what can and should be done about them. stuartgillespie.substack.com | @stuartgillespie.bsky.social
