📝 Description: More Than Just Food: Food Justice and Community Change Volume 60
The industrial food system has created a crisis in the United States that is characterized by abundant food for privileged citizens and "food deserts" for the historically marginalized. In response, food justice activists based in low-income communities of color have developed community-based solutions, arguing that activities like urban agriculture, nutrition education, and food-related social enterprises can drive systemic social change. Focusing on the work of several food justice groups--including Community Services Unlimited, a South Los Angeles organization founded as the nonprofit arm of the Southern California Black Panther Party--More Than Just Food explores the possibilities and limitations of the community-based approach, offering a networked examination of the food justice movement in the age of the nonprofit industrial complex.

Garrett Broad's scholarly exploration provides a rigorous, critical look at grassroots food activism in the United States, tracing the lineage of community-based resistance from groups like the Southern California Black Panther Party's nonprofit arm to modern urban agriculture initiatives. By interrogating both the possibilities and limitations of these efforts within the nonprofit industrial complex, the book offers a grounded, analytical perspective on systemic social change. It is written strictly for an academic or policy-oriented audience deeply engaged in food politics and sociology rather than casual kitchen enthusiasts.
