๐๐ข๐ข๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฌ โ Biopiracy
At Food Shift, we operate at the tail end of the food chain, but there are so many crucial points along the chain at which we must intervene and advocate for food justice. The capitalistic structures of property and legal ownership foster the necessary conditions for biopiracy, and the burden should be on governments, NGOs, and corporations to fairly compensate and involve Native groups from which theyโre taking biological resources/practices. Though we as individuals canโt always control who originally profited from our foodโs production, we can do our best to amplify the voices of those reclaiming traditional knowledge and practices, like the Sogorea Teโ Land Trustโan urban Indigenous women-led land trust working to return stolen land to Indigenous people.
Support The Sogorea Te' Land Trust by giving an annual Shuumi contribution: sogoreate-landtrust.org/pay-the-shuumi-land-tax/

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Dayโa day to not only celebrate legendary civil rights activists of the 1950โs and 60โs, but to also witness how this history has shaped todayโs social justice movements. King noted the racial inequity present in our food system, and his bold voice for change has helped ignite the fire for Black food justice advocates today.
Here are just a few of such local leaders fulfilling Kingโs dream of a โpromised land.โ We encourage our community to support these organizations in their work toward a more equitable food system, and please mention any other notable food justice organizations/advocates in the comments below.
