In today's food system, farm workers face difficult and hazardous conditions, low-income neighborhoods lack supermarkets but abound in fast-food restaurants and liquor stores, food products emphasize convenience rather than wholesomeness, and the international reach of American fast-food franchises has been a major contributor to an epidemic of "globesity." To combat these inequities and excesses, a movement for food justice has emerged in recent years seeking to transform the food system from seed to table. In Food Justice, Robert Gottlieb and Anupama Joshi tell the story of this emerging movement. A food justice framework ensures that the benefits and risks of how food is grown and processed, transported, distributed, and consumed are shared equitably. Gottlieb and Joshi recount the history of food injustices and describe current efforts to change the system, including community gardens and farmer training in Holyoke, Massachusetts, youth empowerment through the Rethinkers in New Orleans, farm-to-school programs across the country, and the Los Angeles school system's elimination of sugary soft drinks from its cafeterias. And they tell how food activism has succeeded at the highest level: advocates waged a grassroots campaign that convinced the Obama White House to plant a vegetable garden. The first comprehensive inquiry into this emerging movement, Food Justice addresses the increasing disconnect between food and culture that has resulted from our highly industrialized food system. 410 0$aFood, health, and the environment. 606 $aFood industry and trade$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aFood industry and trade$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aAgriculture$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aSustainable agriculture 606 $aFood$xMarketing 606 $aGrocery trade 610 $aENVIRONMENT/General 610 $aENVIRONMENT/Food Studies 615 0$aFood industry and trade$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aFood industry and trade$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aAgriculture$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aSustainable agriculture. 615 0$aFood$xMarketing. 615 0$aGrocery trade. 676 $a363.8 700 $aGottlieb$b Robert$f1944-$01507709 702 $aJoshi$b Anupama 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789829403321 996 $aFood justice$93743959 997 $aUNINA
