Revaluing Food  Natan Doron   When it comes to food waste and
food policy, there is a need for some innovative policy
thinking. In addition, we must also confront questions about the
purpose of our food system. Is it to provide an excess of food
at the cheapest possible prices?  Or is it to ensure that all
are well fed and can enjoy access to good quality food? The
articles that follow offer a range of answers to and opinions on
some of these questions and more. Some focus specifically on the
problem of food waste, others look at the food system more
broadly.  The articles come from a variety of perspectives, some
from academia and others in the game of advocacy. At times, the
views of the various authors may conflict, but in true Fabian
tradition, they all provide ground for further thought and
discussion. Ultimately what they all illustrate in primary
colours is that food is indeed a deeply political issue and we
have a collective duty to reason together about what we want our
food system to deliver.
