A NOTE ON FOOD JUSTICE
We’re working for a world where the ability to access ethically
and transparently-produced food isn’t a privilege—it’s a right.
But right now, we know that many food products with labels
that convey ethical and sustainable production cost more.
And costlier food isn’t accessible for everyone, especially for
historically marginalized and underinvested communities,
particularly communities of color.
We’re clear on why this is the case: centuries of exploitation,
land theft, slavery, and racist policies in our food system and
beyond that create wealth inequities for people of color.
If you can afford to vote with your fork, we hope this label
guide helps you make better decisions. Regardless, join us in
our mission to create a just food system rooted in humane,
sustainable local agriculture. How?

We won’t stop until we have a humane, sustainable food system
that works for everyone, especially those experiencing the
greatest disparities.
