Food Justice

If we care about the Earth and its resources, we must care and understand how food arrives on our plates, as well as who makes it possible for us to be nourished, from farmworkers, meatpackers, and the sustainable methods for growing our food. There’s a dark side we can’t dismiss – it’s vital to know how some agriculture methods and polluters are jeopardizing the health and endangering the lives of communities, as well as our air and water, for industrial scale agricultural production of meat, chicken, dairy, and commodities including soy grown to feed livestock. This module is intended to augment "What’s on Your Fork," ensuring an environmental justice perspective is seen, heard, and felt in connection to food justice.
