Food Justice
Food Justice is a holistic and structural view of our food systems that sees healthy food as a basic human right and addresses the structural barriers that obstruct this right. These structural barriers include poverty, racial inequity, and social injustice.
Food Lifeline believes these are the “root causes” of hunger.
We also believe we can address these root cause through advocacy efforts to shape local, state, and federal policy, by partnering with organizations that are addressing other causes of poverty, and through engagement and bundling food assistance with other community-based programs and services.
