The past 60 years have seen an exponential rise in the production and
consumption of ultra-processed ‘food’–or rather, edible–products (UPP),
such as packaged crisps, biscuits, sweetened beverages, and ready-to-eat
meals. Driven by an expansion of the industrial food system, including
global sourcing and retail structures, and corporate concentration and
power within this system, UPP are replacing fresh and minimally processed
foods and home-cooked meals in our diets. Dietary patterns are becoming
increasingly homogenized and culinary traditions are disappearing. This
shift started in high income countries and has now reached all countries,
in some making up over 50 percent of what people eat.
This edition of the Nyéléni newsletter explores how the ‘corporate diet’
based on UPP is being imposed in different regions of the world and what
this means for people’s health and food sovereignty. It further provides
examples of resistance, from the recovery of traditional crops to the
struggle for effective regulatory measures. What is clear is that to
reclaim sovereignty over our plates we must look beyond our plates and
reshape the food system as a whole.
