Think local act vocal

Debate Your Plate is an online video magazine and network concerned with food and its associated environmental and human rights issues.

A food revolution is happening.  And Debate Your Plate will be at the heart of it.

If you want top tips on how to keep your chickens, join or start a campaign, receive recipes and tips from our brilliant food writers, or watch the latest hard hitting documentary on overfishing - you’ll find it all and more on debateyourplate.com.  We’ll spark debate about food, its origins, the policies that govern its production and the environmental factors that are implicit in its journey to your plate.

Debate Your Plate is people-powered politics. Through challenging journalism and the Internet, we provide the information and technology for people to uncover the inside story on important issues, to tell their own stories, run their own campaigns, and lobby for change.

Part online magazine, part social network, we provide a unique, popularist mix of commissioned and user-generated content. The editorial tone will be light – but to the point. We’ll tell the truth – but make sure it’s never dry or worthy. We want to make food politics popular, real and entertaining.

Why Debate Your Plate?

Food politics underlies all politics. Food and its production ties into extremely important social, economic, environmental and institutional issues that affect us all on a daily basis. Certainly, there is no industry more fundamentally linked to our well being and the future well being of our children.

As nutrition professor and author of the book, Food Politics, Marion Nestle says: “I see this happening everywhere, and it is enormous. Ordinary people don’t have access to these really important issues except through food.” In other words, we can make changes – but only if we have the knowledge and the know-how to challenge the status quo.

A food revolution is happening.  And Debate Your Plate will be at the heart of it.
