International Workshop Food for Justice in Rio de Janeiro
The International Workshop Alimento para a Justiça (Food for Justice) aims to bring together researchers and activists working on topics related to agriculture and food to share and discuss their recent research and experiences on the topic and to have a space for interaction. The Workshop is an activity foreseen in the scope of the research group Food for Justice, whose general objective is to investigate social mobilizations that counter injustices in the food system and social and political innovations that address inequalities that compromise food security, such as class, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality.
