America’s industrialized food production and the dire nature of our planetary health raise the question: How do we add climate and social justice to our diet? In terms of what that translates to on the plate, Dunham says climate justice eating is about having a region-based diet. “What’s really important is people having agency over their food,” says Molly Scalise of FRESHFARM, a D.C.-based food justice organization. A food justice diet, he says, must mitigate climate impact, reduce poverty, and ensure that decision-making processes include those most impacted. Local food systems that are communally owned and operated allow for communal wealth creation.
