Food is the Source of the Environmental Catastrophe

Food is the Source of the Environmental Catastrophe: Ironically, “food is the source of the environmental catastrophe” was the rallying cry of attendees at the most recent biannual congress of food producers, which took place in Turin, Italy.

Farmers from all over the world, including the United States, Japan, Australia, Uganda, and Italy, gathered in Italy for the Terra Madre Salone del Gusto event, which was organized by the Slow Food movement. They discussed the ways in which “man-made” calamities such as droughts, floods, fire, storms, heatwaves, and insect plagues have caused them to lose their means of subsistence.
