The Natural World: Food Justice

2016 Book of Discipline, Social Principles ¶160.H


H) Food Justice

We support policies that increase access to quality food, particularly for those with the fewest resources. We affirm local, sustainable, and small-scale agriculture opportunities that allow communities to feed themselves. We decry policies that make food inaccessible to the communities where it is grown and the farmworkers involved in its growth.
