Safe, healthy available food is going to be a an important issue for many voters this year.  Here’s one frog’s quick introduction to a green perspective on the issue.

First, a list of key resources:

• The Green vision -  a manifesto for control of our food
• Jeanette Fitzsimons’ speech Food Democracy 31 May 2008
• A Menu for Change- policies for launching a food revolution to regain control of our food chain and the food we eat.
• Sue Kedgley’s speech Peak Food 30 May 2008
• 4 Green food campaigns – safe food, genetic engineering, school food and the food revolution
• Sue Kedgley’s speech Food Security 7 May 2008
