Privilege and Allyship in Nonprofit Food Justice Organizations

Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development, 2015, vol. 5, issue 4

Abstract: Nonprofit urban agriculture organizations are a key component of the food justice movement in U.S. cities. As the movement grows, an increasing number of allies will perform community food work and take leadership roles in nonprofit food justice organizations. One key to the ongoing growth and success of the movement is how allies transform their privilege into empowerment at an organizational scale. This commentary provides insight on how certain organizational policies and practice can lead to better allyship. See the press release for this article.
