Food Justice

Race, inequity, urban farming and the desire for healthier foods serve as the backdrop for
this short and informative piece created by SPNN's team of summer interns. Motivated 
by their visit to Eureka Recycling in Northeast Minneapolis these four young women 
producers asked questions about the importance of food and food justice. During 

their visit to Eureka, they learned about the non-profit's community engagement and 
commitment to zero-waste and local foods. This prompted a discussion about local 
farmers and farmers markets and the people they see growing and selling these foods. 
Why did none of them look like them (three of the four young women who made the 
documentary were African-American)? After much exploring, they found some who did and the reasons why there aren't more.
