An Empty Plate: Why we are losing the battle for our food system, why it matters, and how we can win it back
An Empty Plate analyses the state of the South African
agri-food system. Tracy Ledger demonstrates how this system is perpetuating poverty, threatening land reform, entrenching inequality and tearing apart our social fabric. The book asks two crucial how did we get to this point and how might we go about solving the problem.
This is a story of money, of power, of unanticipated consequences, and of personal and social tragedy. But it is also a story of what is possible if we reimagine our society and build a new system on the foundation of solidarity and ethical food citizenship.
