"Creating and sustaining a healthy, living and vibrant food system is important because it means that everyone has access to affordable, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food. It means that people have the opportunity to contribute and participate in producing, distributing, consuming and recycling food in a way that respects the principles of social justice, democracy, and environmental sustainability."
