Ethical Food and Fibre 101

Let's break it down - what is ethical food and fibre?

Have you considered the story behind the food you eat and the fabrics you use? Much of our food and fibre comes from industrial farms in faraway places. Places that often exploit people and planet in the name of a quick buck.

By making conscious choices about what we eat and wear, we can help to create a food and fibre system that is healthier, sustainable and equitable for all. There is no one perfect way to do this because everyone has different values, needs and access to resources. Our suggestion? Explore the guide and think about what feels right for you.

At Sustainable Table, we don’t pretend to have all the answers and as a result, this guide is not static. It is evolving and changing based on your feedback. So please let us know what you think!

The resources below are made up of a combination of Sustainable Table original content and external links. While we have done our best to verify the external information we have shared here, we encourage you to be discerning as you journey through the guide.
