“It represents a transformation of the current food system, including but not limited to eliminating disparities and inequities,” Eschmeyer added.
Food justice is about seeking to give poor people the knowledge and opportunity to grow their own food and expanding access of fresh local produce so that people can eat healthy. You may not realize this, but in many urban areas, it's hard to obtain nutritious food. So, for instance, expanding locations and access to farmer's markets, urban gardens, etc.
A lot of urban areas have been labeled as food deserts, which means that there are no stores that can be accessed that sell fresh produce within walking distance (i.e., a person cannot access these stores without a car). Food justice is about giving people tools to take care of themselves. So, teaching people to plant a garden in their small yard. Or, using vacant lots to create community gardens.
It's hard to imagine attacking a movement to teach poor people to grow their own food.
