More DescriptionEating Democracy tells the stories of diverse eaters across Australia who are navigating the food system against the grain in the wake of crises. We've compiled a collection of accounts from eaters who not only care about leaving the planet better than they found it for future generations, but who have also worked out ways they can individually and collectively make an impact.With the rising cost of living and squeeze on affordable and nutritious food, there is an underground insurgency underway in Australia and elsewhere, of people taking control of their own food systems. Eaters who are tired of corporate control of our food system, overuse of chemicals, imported and unseasonal food, food waste and poor animal welfare in industrial livestock systems.This book's contributors represent the ever-increasing number of eaters across Australia who are committed to regenerative and community food networks and the democratisation of their food systems with every morsel of ethical and ecologically-sound food they swallow, and while acknowledging the difficulties they sometimes face in accessing the food that matches their values.The eaters in this book come from all walks of life, different climates and locations, but they have many things in common. They all want to contribute meaningfully to the world by supporting systems that produce culturally and seasonally appropriate food local to their place of living. Whilst the perfect system may be out of reach for most, these eaters show ways of sourcing, preparing, cooking and preserving food that we all can take inspiration from, even if it is just one step at a time.
