12 musicians who are also food activists

Not all musicians fit the stereotype of being self-involved and shallow. In fact, many musicians also care about and promote social causes. When they are not selling-out stadium shows or releasing new albums, these 12 musicians lend their time – and their voices – to promote food and agriculture initiatives, and use their celebrity platform to raise money and awareness to combat hunger and poverty.

Co-authors Ellen Gustafson and Danielle Nierenberg, the co-founders of Food Tank, hope to bridge the domestic and global food issues by highlighting how hunger, obesity, climate change, unemployment, and other problems can be solved by more research and investment in agriculture.
