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 lowincome communities of color have developed communitybased solutions, arguing that activities like urban agriculture, nutrition education, and foodrelated 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 communitybased approach, offering a networked examination of the food justice movement in the age of the nonprofit industrial complex.
