The future of food
Since the New Year is all about planning for what’s ahead, the January 2025 issue of the Monitor makes some bold predictions. (And provides a distraction from Trumpian political drama, if you’re needing to look away for a while—though we do have a couple of smart takes on Trump for readers who want a progressive analysis).
This issue looks at how the food on our plate has changed over the decades and how more change—and potential instability—is on the menu.
Climate change is going to turn our world upside down. Naturally, food will be affected. So will Canada’s agriculture industry.
When we look at food, we have to consider food insecurity and how to bet big on public markets as a counter to corporate concentration.
When considering the future of food, we can take away lessons from the Indigenous Peoples, who were stewards of the land long before settlers arrived.
All this and more in the latest edition of the Monitor.
