Stories for Food Justice
We at StoryCenter are excited to share a beautiful set of academic and community stories about paths to food justice, created through a collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture-funded Food Dignity project.
The project is a research, education, and extension effort bringing together five community-based organizations that have already been doing food justice activities within their local communities, and three universities, to learn how to create healthier and more sustainable food systems.
Representatives from Food Dignity sites around the country shared unique and touching stories from their lives, revealing the strengths of committed individuals and the challenges they face in creating long-term, sustainable alternatives to an unhealthy and environmentally destructive food system.
The storytellers will be using the stories to share their experience and expertise in community food production, access, and justice and their vision for equitable, democratic, and sustainable local food systems. We’ll be collaborating with Food Dignity on the distribution of selected stories from the workshop through our existing public health and broader storytelling networks, via YouTube and social media tools like Facebook and Twitter.
