Social and environmental justice in community food organising

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.Professor David Schlosberg of the University of Sydney, Luke Craven, PhD student at the University of Sydney and Sharelle Polack, the Community Gardens Team Leader at Cultivating Community discuss this issue followed by a Q&A.
