What We Do

Educate for Action2014-06-28 11.09.56

Community-based workshops and "teach-outs" educating people on food justice & sovereignty issues and encouraging people to take action.

"Our Food, Our Right: Recipes for Food Justice" is CAGJ's educational book in two editions, with recipes, how-to, and essays on food politics, justice, and sovereignty. A great teaching resource!

Take action to support these campaigns and food sovereignty everywhere!

We organize and support campaigns in solidarity with local family farmers and food producers, farmworkers, for the right to good food, food chain workers, and food justice globally!

Subscribe to our FJP listserv (in box below) and get meeting & event announcements, and a few food justice resources/articles from around the region and around the world (1-2 posts a week)!

Find a Factory Farm!

As seen on Grist.org, Food & Water Watch has released a new tool looking at the location, concentration, and other statistics of U.S. Factory Farms.  They even have a widget you can embed in a website to help push this collection of information out!  The information is search able by State, animal type, and Census year, and more.  A great resource for anyone concerned about where their meat is coming from, and what kind of effect it may be having on our environment, communities, health, workers, and more.
