Food justice is the concept that everyone should have access to healthy, affordable, and culturally appropriate food. It addresses the inequalities in the food system that often leave marginalized communities without sufficient resources to obtain nutritious meals. This movement advocates for fair treatment of all individuals in food production, distribution, and consumption.
The food justice movement also emphasizes the importance of local food systems and sustainable practices. It seeks to empower communities to take control of their food sources, promoting initiatives like community gardens and farmers' markets. By focusing on equity, food justice aims to create a healthier and more sustainable food environment for all.
