Synopsis

How diverse communities are finding new ways to grow food, build movements, and challenge institutions to create more just and sustainable food futures.

Amid the intersecting crises of climate change and inequalities, Nurturing Food Justice offers an unflinching and inspiring take on the ways communities are working to create more just and sustainable worlds. An expansive follow-up to the field-defining Cultivating Food Justice, this edited volume provides an overview of food justice scholar-activism, redefining the field and looking to theoretical and political futures. The contributors synthesize and analyze the findings of food justice research to imagine socioecological relationships that are both environmentally sustainable and socially just. They tell new stories of what food justice is, what it is for, and what it can become.

The contributors, who include a racially diverse group of scholars, students, and activists from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds across the US, highlight the inward-facing movement work of communities envisioning and enacting their own food- and land-based traditions, as well as external work as they build alliances with institutions and kindred social movements.
