Food@Sydney Comprehending the Justice In Food Justice
from Sydney Ideas · host Sydney Ideas
In recent years, we have seen an explosion in the number of community organisations that orient themselves around the production and distribution of food. These food justice groups often focus on improving the availability and quality of food in urban environments, on reducing food waste, and on building local economies. How, though, does the “justice” of food justice manifest itself in practice? How do groups articulate, value and embody social and environmental justice concerns? And how is it that we can best achieve these goals? This event draws together academic and community perspectives on these questions. Panel David Schlosberg is Professor of Environmental Politics in the Department of Government and International Relations at the University of Sydney, Luke Craven is a PhD student at the University of Sydney and the Sydney Environment Institute. Sharelle Polack, Community Gardens Team Leader at Cultivating Community A Sydney Ideas and Sydney Environment Institute event in the Food@Sydney series http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2015/food@sydney_series_2015.shtml
