Dissonance Between Christian Beliefs And Eating Habits In The South, Karli Dianne Stringer

The examination of practices, …

Chapter 1 provides data on urban environmental justice issues related to food equity, drawing on research from the United Nations and food justice organizations in New York City. Chapter 2 explores the ethical issues surrounding food access and food justice in an increasingly urban …
