Abstract

Food justice focuses on social justice within the food system, which is currently characterized by the monopoly market power and globalized meat production. Its objective is to change the food system at its root and counter oppression and insecurity caused by the system. It strives to eliminate and challenge social inequities within the food system and promotes equitable distribution of resources. The paper provides a brief introduction to food justice.
