Abstract

Systemic social justice issues are characterized as having complex and far-reaching causes. Food justice is one such an issue. Food justice is defined as “justice for all [people] in the food system,” from agricultural production to consumer products. Policies seeking to remedy systemic social justice issues often need to include the attention of many levels of government and coordination across multiple agencies to move issues forward. That is why finding a model for interagency collaboration that has evidenced success, especially over the long-term, is inspiring and worth mirroring. This Comment compares food justice to the environmental justice movement, and proposes modeling a federal, interagency program to address food justice based on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Justice Interagency Working Group (EJ IWG). This Comment includes an overview of the food justice movement, and argues that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), despite its history of civil rights violations, would be the best federal agency to lead an interagency working group because it administers essential rural development and consumer programs. It also explores whether the model employed by the Environmental Protection Agency’s EJ IWG is a viable model for a food justice program at the USDA, and what features of the EJ IWG would suit such a food justice interagency working group.

正义的处方:支持联邦食品司法跨部门工作组。
系统性社会正义问题的特点是具有复杂和深远的原因。食品公平就是这样一个问题。粮食公正被定义为“粮食系统中所有人的公正”,从农业生产到消费品。寻求纠正系统性社会正义问题的政策往往需要各级政府的关注和多个机构之间的协调,以推动问题的发展。这就是为什么找到一个证明成功的跨部门合作模式,特别是长期合作模式,是鼓舞人心的,值得效仿。本评论将食品正义与环境正义运动进行了比较,并建议在环境保护局环境正义跨部门工作组(ejwg)的基础上建立一个联邦跨部门计划的模型,以解决食品正义问题。本评论包括对食品正义运动的概述,并认为尽管美国农业部(USDA)有侵犯民权的历史,但它将是领导跨部门工作组的最佳联邦机构,因为它管理着重要的农村发展和消费者项目。它还探讨了环境保护署的EJ工作组所采用的模式是否适用于美国农业部的食品司法项目,以及EJ工作组的哪些特点适合这样一个跨部门的食品司法工作组。
