Food & Justice

This space is dedicated to the intersection of food and equity. "Food & Justice" highlights how power, access, and privilege show up on our plates, and what it means to advocate for more just, sustainable food systems.

Through the lens of gastronomy, we’ll explore topics like food sovereignty, labor ethics, and land stewardship, with a focus on both local Basque examples and global movements.

This page anchors some of the more critical, thought-provoking pieces on the blog and encourages inquiry into food as a tool for liberation.
