In an era marked by intertwined environmental, food, and social crises, Voices for Change explores the crucial role of communities, culture, and biodiversity in shaping more just and sustainable food systems. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective that brings together nutrition, social sciences, museum studies, and education, the volume highlights how food is simultaneously an ecological, cultural, and political issue. The contributions collected in this book show how biodiversity loss directly affects human health, social inequalities, and the resilience of territories, while also demonstrating how local practices, traditional knowledge, cultural institutions, and educational initiatives can become powerful drivers of transformation. From community museums to food policies, from traditional diets to youth-led activism, the international case studies presented here illustrate how collective action can turn crises into opportunities. Voices for Change invites readers to rethink the future of food by placing biodiversity, participation, and social justice at the center. It offers a vision in which human and plane-tary health are inseparable, addressing scholars, policy makers, educators, and engaged citizens who seek to imagine and build a more equitable, democratic, and locally grounded food future.
