Pathways to a Racially Just Food System

 

From ChangeLab Solutions

"Food should nourish our bodies, strengthen community connections, and provide a sustainable income for the millions of people working throughout the food chain. But much of the current food system in the United States runs counter to these values. Addressing how structural racism has shaped food systems and inequitable health outcomes is critical to reversing the health gaps experienced in BIPOC communities and communities with low income.

"ChangeLab Solutions recent blog post titled  Pathways to a Racially Just Food System shares some of the lessons learned from their equity-focused projects to develop a new approach to food justice that focuses on the upstream drivers of health inequity. ChangeLab is integrating emerging food justice frameworks and identifying legal and policy strategies to transform the food policy landscape in ways that advance racial justice."
