On February 27th, people around the world will be coming together for a global day of action to take back the food supply from corporations like Cargill and Monsanto.
Prominent food leaders, farmers, and activists—including Navdanya founder, Vandana Shiva; author of What to Eat, Marion Nestle; and co-founder of the Small Planet Fund, Anna Lappé—will be adding their voices in support of sustainable farming and food justice for all.
