Green Alliance outlines four contrasting worldviews on the way forward for food and agriculture, and imagines possible alliances that could be formed based on areas of common ground.

But, while individuals and organisations broadly agree on the need for change, disagreement about how to achieve this goal is preventing change at the speed necessary.
