Mission

Generate and compile content that explores food inequities and food justice movements throughout Colorado. 

Centering Colorado

Like many places, food inequities in Colorado are complex and multifaceted. They encompass concerns such as corporate concentration of food and agriculture companies, white male dominance in agriculture and the discrimination against women farmers and farmers of color, and the exploitation of food chain workers. There are also disparate health impacts of industrial food production, food apartheid and the displacement of cultural foods, and the coopting and marginalization of different ethnoracial groups' cultural foods. The food justice movements that tackle these concerns are therefore diverse, reflecting different places of struggle, scales of action, and groups involved. In response, we offer a platform to explore food justice in Colorado. 

"the benefits and risks of where, what, and how food is grown and produced, transported and distributed, and accessed and eaten are shared fairly."
