“…Aiming for "thick" participation (Walker & Mathebula, 2020), community partners are involved in all phases of the research, from identifying research questions and challenges to data collection, designing community interventions and actions, and participating in knowledge dissemination and mobilization. Our commitments to feminist and Indigenous research approaches and perspectives are evidenced by our attention to the intersections of political location, gender, and generation in the research process (Pérez Piñán & Vibert, 2019). And yet, equality of participation remains an ideal rather than a reality (Phillips et al, 2013): for reasons ranging from technology access to institutional expectations, participants quoted in the conversations are (mostly) community partners, while the authors of the article are academics.…”

“…Josephine and Jakeline's observations about challenges to women's food production, and Aysheh's about women's water budget, provide insight into the grounded experience of a deepening water crisis. "Solutions" offered by government and by external organizations (e.g., encouraging women to grow introduced crops that not even the animals will eat) are emblematic of inept development initiatives that fail to consult the beneficiaries-often women (Pérez Piñán & Vibert, 2019).…”

This article presents conversations across difference that took place among community partners and researchers at a week-long workshop in T’Sou-ke First Nation territory in 2019. The workshop launched the Four Stories About Food Sovereignty research network and project, which brings together food producers, activists, and researchers representing T’Sou-ke Nation in British Columbia, Wayuu Indigenous communities in Colombia, refugee communities in Jordan, and small-scale farmers in South Africa. We focus here on conversations that highlight global-local tensions in food justice work, the pressures of extractive economy, and pressures arising from climate crisis – challenges that some participants framed at the level of global extractivism and colonial-capitalism, others at the level of the soil. As the conversations reveal, there was more common ground than conflict in shared histories of dispossession, shared predicaments of extractive capital and its government allies, and shared concern to renew and reinvigorate ancestral practices of care for territory.

“…An interesting aspect about community food centres, for instance, is that they are not either/or, but have both potentials. What Ghose and Pettygrove write about grassroots community gardens is also true for community food initiatives: they can "simultaneously contest and reinforce local neoliberal policies" (Ghose & Pettygrove, 2014, p. 1092Pérez Piñán & Vibert, 2019).…”

The call for Just Food Futures reflects a desire to address social inequities, health disparities, and environmental disasters created by overlapping systems of oppression including capitalism, white supremacy, and heteropatriarchy. While many food movement actors share a desire to meaningfully tackle these issues, the richness and broadness of the food movement does not come without problems. The challenge of engaging with the intersectional nature of food-based inequities is apparent in the tensions between distinctive food organizations and movements and their sometimes conflicting goals, approaches, tactics, and strategies. This Themed Section brings together some of the contributions to and reflections from a virtual three-day workshop held in May 2021 in which we aimed at better understanding the differing approaches, the spaces in which they work, and where we explored collaborative possibilities within, between, and beyond food movements. In this Introduction we share reflections from the guest editors. To explore how food movements can collaborate in solidarity while not negating differences, we first identify key frictions within and between food-related movements and why they persist. Second, we suggest three strategic orientations that may help to explore collaborative possibilities within, between, and beyond food movements: Learning from other movements, fostering political literacy, and engaging with tensions productively. Finally, we consider the role and responsibility of academics within these conversations. We close with a call for (re)politization across difference and relate this back to strategies for broader social transformations.
