Who gets to eat?
Covid-19 has sent shockwaves through our food system. Hunger is growing throughout the world in communities already battling climate change, conflict and poverty.
Yet we produce more than enough food to feed the world.
This magazine investigates the far-reaching inequalities in our global food system, and asks: who gets to eat – who doesn’t – and how do we fix it?
The edition concludes our year-long Food Justice files.
