One of the fastest growing and powerful emerging social media networks is Instagram. The photo and video sharing site now has 150 million active users who are uploading an astonishing 55 million photos a day. To follow Food Tank on Instagram, click here!
And while Rihanna and Usher use Instagram to show off their latest outfits or connect with fans, many organizations are using the network to create awareness, spur action, and make positive change in the food and agriculture system.
True Food Kitchen, for example, is highlighting healthy and seasonal food, like this farm fresh salad.
The organization Food and Water Watch uses Instagram to compel viewers to take charge of where their food comes and ensure access safe, clean water.
And Grist utilizes the network to share green news with a touch of humor.
Food Tank is highlighting 66 Instagram accounts we think are helping cultivate a better food system!
