#FoodJusticeMatters

In the reading there was a key word called "SANKOFA", which means you must know about your history in order for you to move on into the next chapter in your life. The difference between foodb security and food sovereignty is that food security is having access to your food and food sovereignty is when you not only have access to your food, but you also have control over your food and your food system. RIC is also a key term in the reading. It means Rooted In Community. The RIC was the group that created the food bill of rights. Community gardens play a huge part in food justice, becausde due to the way that the society is set-up, it's like a backup plan for having food in your life. When things like the government shut down and the factories that produce our food shut down and they no longer try to protect our foods, that's where gardens take in place at. We will know where our food is coming from and it's healthy

I personally feel like fod justice is a thing. I feel like maybe society might feel like this is a stupid "issue", but it's not. Food is what we need to live and if we are not in control of thje food that we eat then we are not in control of our lives. I think that there are not a lot of things being done about our food  being safe. I think a ot of us need to go back to our roots and go on from there, because it is not imposible.
