Cultivating Food Justice: Race, Class, and Sustainability by Julian Agyeman, Alison Hope Alkon
lattelibrarian's review against another edition
4.0
From food deserts, to black and indigenous folks farming, to local foodshares, to political movements, this book cuts no corners and discusses all that it can. I truly enjoyed how far this book pushed this topic--I had no idea how farming and agricultural laws affected black and indigenous farmers, and I had no idea about some of the grassroots foodshares and activisms going on.
Not only that, but where has food justice been, and where can it go? And how will it go? Food justice cannot be dependent on one group--it must incorporate the needs of everyone, from being able to access nutritional food to being able to live free from environmental racism.
If you're interested in food or environmental justice, this is a worthy book to read. Each chapter tackles a different concept and updates us as to how politically and fundamentally messed up our current state is in regards to making sure everyone has access to food, nutrition, and justice.
