Food Justice: A Primer

Description

Food Justice: A Primer is a collection of essays by activists, academics, farmers, and others involved in the Food Justice Movement exam- ining food justice and food sover- eignty from a variety of angles. These essays range in scope and tone from personal, hand-on ex- periences to macro-level observa- tions of how communities’ ability to both access healthful, justly- produced food and determines for themselves how they are fed, can be improved upon, including ef- forts currently underway toward these ends. For too long, the Food JusticeMovement has been senselessly divided between those who focus on the rights of humans and those who uphold the rights of nonhu- mans. In truth, the most just and efficient way forward to promote this cause is for these communities to come together and work in solidarity with one another, as myriad individuals and organizations around the world demonstrate with their hard work and careful anal- ysis. This book aims to illustrate why this is necessary while confirm- ing that it is possible, in hopes of inspiring further cooperation and collaboration between seemingly disparate causes under the um- brella of Food Justice.
