🚨Trump’s trade wars are hitting food systems hard – pushing up #foodprices and deepening hunger.

Local food systems aren't just a nice idea. They're a lifeline for #foodsecurity.

Kraft Heinz announces break-up a decade after megamerger Split will undo 2015 tie-up orchestrated by Warren Buffett and investment group 3G Capital

Voluntary breakup of one of the biggest food mega mergers in the past decade - KraftHeinz - illustrates that the Curse of Bigness is a real thing! We need more small, local, dynamic firms in the food system to bring real competition and choice

Can a non-corporate grocery chain work across Canada? | CBC News Building a nationwide chain of non-corporate grocers that could compete with the giants would be difficult, experts say.

Concentration in grocery retail in Canada is a big problem; one of the key challenges for newcomers, including non-corporate entities, is that the big food retail chains also own much of the wholesale and distribution channels @keldonb.bsky.social (see CAMP's work)

No fines for big grocers that promoted imported food as Canadian | CBC News The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has identified 12 complaint-driven cases where grocers engaged in "maple washing," a practice where companies use Canadian branding to promote imported food product...

Hmmm - odd that there are no fines for the grocery retail chains found 'maple-washing' food by claiming it was made in Canada to dupe buyers into thinking they were buying local.

“What we are witnessing is not a temporary market fluctuation, but the unmaking of the global food order.”

🌍 Must-read from @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social on how trade wars threaten food security – and why we need resilient, local, cooperative food systems now.

"In practical terms, cooperative self-reliance is about boosting public investment and encouraging innovation from the grassroots to build sustainable, local and national food economies that are resilient to global market disruptions and the ravages of climate change."

In the Crossfire of Trade Wars, Food Systems Need a New Plan Food systems are too important to leave to the whims of one country, let alone one person.

Happy to share this new piece in @foodtank.bsky.social co-authored with my grad student Anastasia Papadopoulos on the need for a new approach to food policies in the face of the current trade wars - highlighting possibilities of cooperative self-reliance @ipes-food.org
