My forthcoming book: Feeding the Future
In a time of mounting ecological collapse, chronic disease, and frayed democracy, Feeding the Future: Restoring the Planet & Healing Ourselves invites us to rethink the way we nourish ourselves—not just through food, but through our relationships with land, labor, and life itself. The book explores how a paradigm shift towards regeneration is already underway. Across communities, people are rebuilding regional food systems, restoring ecosystems, and growing economies rooted in reciprocity and belonging.
At the heart of the book is a call to challenge the dominant beliefs that have shaped our industrial food system: human control over nature, the pursuit of yield at all costs, and the myth that technology alone can save us.
Instead, Feeding the Future uplifts stories and strategies that center nourishment, relational repair, and biocultural renewal. From agroecology and food sovereignty to regenerative financing, ecological restoration, and a reimagining of science and innovation, this book offers a vision of transformation grounded in care—for people, planet, and future generations.
Food for Us Movement
Food for Us
Food for Us is a growing movement of community-led nourishment and food democracy. Rooted in place. Open to all. Committed to care. A place for neighbors, growers, cooks, caregivers, teachers, children, and elders to remember:
Food is more than fuel. It’s how we care for each other. It’s how we teach, grieve, resist, and restore. It’s where democracy begins—not in the halls of power, but around the table.
UN Development Programme
Conscious Food Systems Alliance
The Conscious Food Systems Alliance (CoFSA), is a movement of food, agriculture, and consciousness practitioners, convened by UNDP, and united around a common goal: to support people from across food and agriculture systems to cultivate the inner capacities that activate systemic change and regeneration.
Food Law & Regulation
Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science & Policy
Food Law & Regulation is a course taught each Spring by Nicole Negowetti focusing on food law, an area where many important legal, environmental, economic, and social justice concepts intersect in our society. Students will analyze the following topics: national regulation of food (production, safety, labeling, and marketing); food and consumer rights; food technology and the law (biotechnology, genetic modification of crops and livestock); food production (including an overview of the farm bill, the National Organic Program, and alternative food systems); food, nutrition, and public health; and food justice, including issues of equity, food access, land and labor rights.
