Project
Rebel Roots Magazine Issues
Today’s food system feels like a conveyor belt, feeding us the same handful of foods over and over again. Supermarkets prioritize what lasts longer on the shelf, looks perfect, or ships well, not what tastes incredible. Somewhere along the way, many of us have lost the connection between the food we eat and the land, people, and stories behind it.
Rebel Roots began as a globally distributed, plant-led food magazine — with each issue spotlighting a single vegetable as a cultural, ecological, and nutritional protagonist. We use the magazine as a tool for dialogue, bringing together chefs, food systems specialists, and impact-driven businesses to bring visibility across the food systems. What started as a storytelling project has since evolved into a broader mission: to reconnect people with the roots of what they eat — and with each other.
Rebel Roots has expanded beyond print, organizing activities and events to engage with a range of stakeholders around the food system.
