The Food Justice Toolkit is a collection of resources that the Come to the Table program has assembled for advocates to inform current and future food access projects. Included are studies from non-profit and research entities, policy briefs and recommendations, personal accounts, and academic explorations on inequality in the food system. These resources represent an interdisciplinary approach to understanding issues of food production and access, and reflect Beyond Hunger Relief’s mission to expand sustainable solutions to food insecurity that also work to strengthen just and sustainable agriculture.
