FOOD JUSTICE – FEATURING
BYRON HURT & YWCA of
MINNEAPOLIS
At the most basic level,
food justice advocates
for food security; no one
should live without
enough food because of
economic constraints or
social inequalities.
Achieving food justice
requires active
engagement in our
communities.  We must
work to understand the
complexities of the
inequalities that
currently exist and
commit to developing and
sustaining new ways of
being that ensure the
right of ALL people and
communities to produce,
distribute, and have
access to nutritious and
healthy food.

Byron Hurt addresses
provocative topics such
as race, gender, and
violence through his
films, writings, and
lectures. His recent
acclaimed film is Soul
Food Junkies, which
explores the health
advantages and
disadvantages of Soul
Food, a quintessential
American cuisine. Hurt
uses Soul Food as the
lens to investigate the
dark side of the food
industry and the growing
food justice movement
that has been born in its
wake.
