We know there’s something wrong with the food. What we don’t knowIt doesn’t have to be that way. People are increasingly aware, though still woefully misinformed, that there is something wrong with how food works in our world. But instead of breeding action and commitment to finding solutions, this awareness risks breeding fatalism and complacency. Exciting advances in agro-ecology worldwide offer hope and avenues for action, but the message is not getting out.This short media guide aims at orienting journalism towards a better Agroecology coverage and helping seeing food through journalistic lens.
