ABSTRACT
Humans are more than ever disconnected from their food. The gap between consumers, food and producers is growing. As a result, customers rarely ever express their gratitude to producers. The food industry appears to have lost some of its fundamental values. This paper aims at providing a better understanding of the distances that separates consumers, their food, and producers. Most importantly, it will allow for moving beyond harmful practices that are currently pervasive in the food industry. We explore the possibility of recreating meaningful and deep connections between the different actors and food.
