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!

The Food Justice Project’s “Our Food, Our Right” (OFOR) committee is looking for some additional help!

“Our Food, Our Right: Recipes for Food Justice” is a CAGJ Food Justice Project publication that combines hands-on tools for change with community recipes and political awareness to engage you in joining in the struggle for food justice! Our Food, Our Right promotes community knowledge sharing, self-sufficiency, accessibility, and food justice through a food sovereignty framework. For more information see: https://cagj.org/get-involved/cagjstore/

The Food Justice Project published our first edition of this guide in November, and now we are looking to continue with additional projects surrounding the guide. Some things the group will be taking on are distribution of subsidized copies to ally organizations, maintaining relationships with businesses currently selling OFOR and replenishing copies when necessary, and beginning discussions about the future of the guide and where it can evolve from here.

We would love to have your help! If you are interested in getting involved with this committee please email Maria at [email protected]

Thanks!
