Why subscribe?

Food & Power is an essential resource for food policy wonks, advocates, farmers, policymakers, and eaters. The Open Markets Institute created the Food & Power website and newsletter in 2016 as a first-of-its-kind publication providing original reporting, resources, and research on monopoly power and economic concentration in the food system.

We are excited to share our work on Substack to engage new audiences and better shine a light on corporate control over farming and food production.

Subscribers get full access to the biweekly newsletter and publication archives.

From seeds to meat to grocery, the food industry is highly consolidated. Food & Power investigates how corporate power shapes our food system, and how monopolization impacts farmers, consumers, and entrepreneurs.
