Oxfam International Youth Partnerships (OIYP) is a global network of young people, aged 18-25, known as Action Partners, who work with their communities to create positive, equitable and sustainable change. One issue that the group works on is about food and sustainability, and specifically getting the word out about our food system.
It has been reported that the in the last 50 years, industrial food companies have led us to unsustainable food system. The system relies on oil in order to sustain it, and it takes 10 calories into our food system for every 1 calorie we get out. The chemical fertizlizers are creating unhealthy soil, and we are not able to use all of the food that we grow.
An animation called Food and You, uses motion graphics to illustrate issues that have created our current food system and then presents the transformation that is already underway to bring about change. The piece ends by asking,” What can you do to help grow the movement?” Want a fun big picture of a serious issue? Food and You can be seen on the OxFam’s Youtube. Channel.
