food justice
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 seeks to empower these communities to have a say in their food choices and production.
The food justice movement also emphasizes sustainable practices and local food systems. It advocates for fair treatment of workers in the food industry and promotes environmentally friendly farming methods. By focusing on these issues, food justice aims to create a more equitable and resilient food system for all, including initiatives like community gardens and local farmers' markets.
