Food Justice
Food justice encompasses the belief that access to nutritious, culturally appropriate, and sustainably produced food is a fundamental human right. It aims to dismantle systemic inequalities that prevent marginalised communities from obtaining healthy food and clean water. This approach addresses a broad range of issues, including food deserts, water accessibility, labour rights of food workers, environmental sustainability, and the impact of corporate control over the food and water supply. Additionally, it recognises the importance of protecting indigenous land rights and traditional foodways. By advocating for fair policies, community-led initiatives, and equitable distribution of resources, food justice seeks to create a more inclusive and resilient food system that benefits everyone, regardless of socio-economic status or background.
Let’s talk about bread…
In Australia today, a growing number of people are ‘food insecure’ and so they seek support from local charities who in turn are supplied by other charities Foodbank, OzHarvest, Second Bite, FareShare. (The sad statistics are detailed here in Foodbank Australia’s Hunger Report.)
Many people who receive donated food, do not have the skills and knowledge to make the best use of what they get.
They get a whole lot of bread.
