About food systems:

The term “food system” refers to the constellation of activities involved in producing, processing, transporting, and consuming food.
Food systems touch every aspect of human existence. The health of our food systems profoundly affects the health of our bodies as well as the health of our environment, our economies, and our cultures.
Hence, when they function well, food systems have the power to bring us together as families, communities, and nations.
