Just Food Transitions a Plurality of Framings and Repertoires from Below

In this paper we apply the concept of just transition to food systems, a domain central to environmental sustainability and social justice. We broaden and democratise the just transition debate by foregrounding a new set of voices and experiences from civil society organisations and networks in Brazil, Sierra Leone, the United Kingdom, and Zambia. We analyse the understandings of just food system transition as voiced in participatory exchanges between these organisations and their networks, highlighting the plurality of perspectives on just food system transitions. Certain viewpoints highlight the need for gradual changes, whereas others advocate for radical food system transformation.
