Transparencia Mexicana is joining thousands of people around the globe in celebrating Food Revolution Day – on 17th May.

At a time when millions of people lack even the most basic of cooking skills, Food Revolution Day rallies communities together to raise awareness about the importance of good food that is healthy, tasty and locally sourced. Last year over 1,000 events were held in 664 cities, in 62 countries, with people gathering in their homes, schools, and at work to cook together and share their food skills, knowledge and resources.

From 16th – 17th May, Transparency International’s Climate Finance Integrity Talk: Mexico City will bring together experts in the climate sector to discuss how climate money can help put our planet on a more sustainable path. Its hosts, Transparencia Mexicana, have invited a local organic company to provide a ‘sustainable coffee break’. We hope that this will prompt some important conversations about the direct links between food production and consumption, the environment and our climate.
