Series: California Studies in Food and Culture

The industrial food system has created a crisis in the United States that is characterized by abundant food for privileged citizens and “food deserts” for the historically marginalized. In response, food justice activists based in low-income communities of color have developed community-based solutions, arguing that activities like urban agriculture, nutrition education, and food-related social enterprises can drive systemic social change. Focusing on the work of several food justice groups—including Community Services Unlimited, a South Los Angeles organization founded as the nonprofit arm of the Southern California Black Panther Party—More Than Just Food explores the possibilities and limitations of the community-based approach, offering a networked examination of the food justice movement in the age of the nonprofit industrial complex.

Reviews for More Than Just Food: Food Justice and Community Change

""More Than Just Food offers critical perspectives on food justice projects-from what Broad characterizes as more obviously flawed white-savior-outsider-led endeavors to the more sympathetically portrayed but still imperfect CSU."" International Journal of Communication
