San Francisco Bay Area Food Justice Tours

Basques in Bay Area 2013_Peoples GroceryAcross the San Francisco Bay Area of California, the food justice movement is diverse and growing. From student organizing at the University of California Berkeley to People’s Grocery in Oakland to farmland preservation in Marin County, a wide array of communities, thinkers and activists are exploring new horizons in the fight for a more equitable food system. These organizers, farmers and advocates are tackling issues like access to healthy and affordable food; repairing degraded environments and reducing agrochemical use; empowering youth; and dismantling racism in the food system through policy, urban agriculture, education, community organizing and green businesses.
