More Than Just Food: Food Justice and Community Change (California Studies in Food and Culture)

The industrial food system has created a crisis in the United States that is characterized by abundant food for privileged citizens and â€œfood desertsâ€ for the historically marginalized.Â In response, food justice activists based in low-income communities of color have developed community-based solutions, arguing that activities like urban agriculture, nutrition education, and food-related social enterprises can drive systemic social change. Focusing on the work of several food justice groupsâ€”including Community Services Unlimited, a South Los Angeles organization founded as the nonprofit arm of the Southern California Black Panther Partyâ€”More Than Just FoodÂ explores the possibilities and limitations of the community-based approach, offering a networked examination of the food justice movement in the age of the nonprofit industrial complex.
