We recognise that we have a sphere of influence and access to a wide range of networks, most importantly have the opportunity to act as an agent of change and do our part to encourage and support the alliance to take proactive action aimed at cultivating a food system rooted in justice and equity.
In the context of healthy and sustainable diets, food and racial justice intersect in several important ways. This agenda advocates for sustainable diets and reducing the overall consumption of meat and dairy while improving the quality and sustainability of what is consumed. When viewed through the lens of food and racial justice, the implications and impacts of this shift need careful consideration to ensure that the transition does not perpetuate existing inequalities but instead contributes to a more equitable food system.
This project, Nourishing Justice, through collaboration, intends to kick-start the consistent use of that lens by actors within our movement, in order to help achieve an equitable transition and tackle systemic inequalities.
