Our new report tells a story of a food system built upon inequality. Major supermarket chains paid out nearly all (an average of 98%) of their net profits to owners and shareholders. In contrast, most workers in this system don't earn a living wage. news.trust.org/item/202106221…

Around the world, worker wages are being outpaced by inflation, resulting in a real-terms pay-cut due to the increased cost of basics. Workers didn't cause the cost-of-living crisis & shouldn't have to pay for it. More: oxfam.org/en/take-action…

The richest 1% are using way more than their fair share of the planet's carbon budget. Tackling inequality and emissions together is the only way to keep 1.5°C alive.
