In the name of Wellness
In the name of Wellness is a longterm project that documents the human cost and environmental consequences of superfood crops investigating the phenomenon of environmental neocolonialism, its mechanism and its consequences on the ecosystems and local population to support the market for a diet that is defined as healthy in Western countries.
How these superfood crops crops contribute to Latin America’s environmental neocolonialism?
In recent years the demand for these resources is always increasing, pushing Western investors towards a greater exploitation that risks irreversibly ruining the environmental balance of those areas and of the entire planet.
The stories might be "food for thought" for people who focus on their own personal wellness -- and who now realize the planet might have a wellness issue with that popular diet!
The entire project has been granted from the PULITZER CENTER on crisis reporting.
