Abstract: Food security has become a common and often highly politicized term, used by governments and organizations like the United Nations to describe a broad area of social concern and call attention to a host of environmental, agricultural and hunger-related issues. Food justice, by definition, moves beyond the food security paradigm to address imbalances of power within a framework of human rights and social justice. The alternative food movement has served as a conduit for both social change and environmental sustainability; yet, a divide remains between food justice activism and the marginalized population the model is designed to serve. This gap is attributed to a lack of diversity represented in the alternative food movement. In this paper, the author explores the potential for bridging the gap between the food justice movement and the under-served populations currently being excluded by pursuing multiculturalism as a pathway to sustainability.
