Got our homework - #foodsystem transformation and #netzero reading via Judith Batchelar AFN Network+ annual conference.

'We're the first generation to really understand #climatechange & the last to be able to really do anything about it' - my fave quote from Judith Batchelar to a packed room of #agrifood folks trying to figure out #foodsystem transformation @ #AFNBigTent

'If we waved a magic wand and every consumer woke up and said I’m going to eat everything I should be eating, the world would not be able to produce that food. Why? It's the elephant in the room - we have a fragmented food system.'
