Abstract

Modern agricultural and food systems have caused immense damage to human health and the environment. To build sustainable food systems for food and nutrition security, this paper argues that we must focus on the three Ds: degrowth, diversity and decentralisation. By reviving a conversation around what we value, we can begin to reframe the extractive relationships between people and the environment that underlie modern food production and consumption systems. This would require us to change what we measure as success in farming and in our lives, as well as reframe the notion of value as going far beyond narrow definitions of productivity and efficiency.
