WE ASPIRE TO FOOD JUSTICE THROUGH
​
REMEMBERING
This is the healing aspect where we remember lost customs, foods, seasons and processes needed to re-member ourselves and birthright love
RECONCILING
This is healing through deep listening and right relationship to each other. Healing from betrayal and historic disassociation.
Relinquishing - this is about giving up false privilege and untruths as we build with each other. Our wealthy members support the interests of less wealthy ones.
RECLAIMING
This is where we assert our right to reclaim resources for equitable redistribution . Redistribution is needed to channel resources to our droughted communities to build human and physical infrastructure and create local food jobs in the food chain.
WHAT IS FOOD JUSTICE?
Food Justice is communities exercising their right to grow, sell, eat and manage their own organic waste.
Food Justice is an understanding that fresh, nutritious, culturally appropriate food factors in the culture of the community, the well being of the land, animals and those who work in the system.
Food Justice leads to a strong local food system, self-reliant communities and a healthy environment.
