“…A manifestation of racial capitalism, Black land dispossession has served as a tool to disempower Black folks to further white supremacy (Heynen, 2019). However, race-based land oppressions are due in large part to discriminatory policies and practices in the 20th and 21st centuries, rather than simply the reversal of the famed 1865 Special Field Order 15 colloquially known as "Forty Acres and a Mule" (Biondi, 2007;Coates, 2014;Heynen, 2018).…”

“…In addition, Black land ownership dropped 3% between 2012 and 2017, compared to a decrease of only 0.3% in white land ownership during that same time period (Census of agriculture, 2017). It is therefore clear that while today's systemic and race-based (lack of) access to land is directly rooted within slavery, subsequent policies and practices have exacerbated land injustices (Biondi, 2007;Coates, 2014;Corlett, 2007;Nuruddin, 2007;Penniman, 2018;Stewart, 2016).…”

While mainstream efforts for reparations center financial compensation via legislation and litigation, social movements expand this conceptualization in order to address critical and yet often overlooked components of reparations. Equitable access to land and opportunities to heal from intergenerational trauma are two of these reparations demands that social movements prioritize. However, there is a dearth of scholarly literature exploring the role and impact of social movements on reparations. Therefore, we seek to develop this important conversation. In doing so, we elucidate the ways in which these two foci of reparations overlap with those of other social movements; food justice initiatives, in particular, also emphasize the connections between racial justice, land justice, and healing. We thus synthesize social movement, food justice, and reparations literatures to examine the overlaps between the goals of food justice initiatives and social movements for reparations. Using two case studies, Tierra Negra and Soul Fire Farm, we demonstrate the ways in which food justice initiatives support social movements for reparations. Contextualizing our analysis within reflections on personal experiences, we argue that through their efforts to transform systems of oppression, food justice initiatives provide an alternative pathway to achieving reparations.

Values‐based food procurement: Black farmers and structural racism in New York State

Responding to growing calls for system dynamics (SD) research to engage with structural racism, this article examines the barriers that Black farmers in New York State face and explores values‐based public institutional food procurement (VBFP) as one possible solution for overcoming these barriers. Combining a qualitative data analysis with causal loop diagrams, this analysis reveals that ongoing structural racism generates (1) structural disconnects between Black farmers' and public institutions' supply chains that inhibit their integration; and (2) procurement policies that create new, rather than addressing existing, barriers for Black farmers. VBFP initiatives' potential to support Black farmers is thus dependent upon dismantling structural racism. In addition, this article advances SD supply chain research by examining one effort to align supply chains with social and environmental values and demonstrates how causal loop diagrams, with their emphasis on system structure, reveal why values‐based supply chain efforts in general often struggle. © 2024 System Dynamics Society.
