What is food justice?

So, before our group began this blog, I thought the defintion of food justice was the right of people to have food that is prepared in a natural and more nutritional way, as compared to the processed food that everyone is used to eating today. However, I figured that this was not the proper definition. So, I went to google and looked up food justice. The first defintion that i found stated that food justice is the concept that everyone should have sufficient food. It is hard for food justice to exist in this world. This is because many people live in poverty and many crops fail around the world. Not to mention, the fact that many people lose their jobs and the costs of food continue to rise. So, in other words, food justice would exist if everyone had enough food to go around. This knowledge will help me to be more aware of the lack of food justice going on in our society today.
