Roots Magazine
Roots dives deep into the true meaning behind the food we eat.
​
Where does it come from? How did it get to you? How was it made or grown? Is it sustainable? What are the cultural values of the dish and where did it originate?
​
We often take food for granted, but now it is time to improve your relationship with food and in turn, think about your food's relationship with the Earth.

“Food for us comes from our relatives, whether they have wings or fins or roots. That is how we consider food. Food has a culture. It has a history. It has a story. It has relationships.”
– Winona LaDuke
