Food Monopolies + How Vegan Wines Differ From Other Wines – Xtalks Food Podcast Ep. 20

How much choice do consumers actually have at the grocery store? In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney discusses food monopolies, a few big food brands that control the majority market share of almost 80 percent of dozens of grocery items. The team discusses the implications of food monopolies on consumers, small producers and the environment, and how there needs to be a paradigm shift in food systems.
