Sometimes it feels like we’re living inside a machine. In the case of our food, we kind of are. With Covid lingering and impacting just about everything, beer and sensory consultant Mirella Amato, and chef and food activist Joshna Maharaj, decided to take a look at how Covid has affected our food. 

This leads them to a step-by-step exploration of “the food system”, the complex web of people and activities involving the production, processing, transport, and consumption of our food - which doesn’t always serve us (read all of us) very well in Canada. We start by breaking down what the food system is. We’ll go through what you need to know about it to follow the rest of the season, and how we hope to make it more sustainable now that covid has revealed its current weaknesses.
