she said. &#8216;Food justice seeks to ensure that the benefits and risks of where, what, and how food is grown, produced, transported, distributed, accessed, and eaten are shared fairly.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;&#8216;It represents a transformation of the current food system, including but not limited to eliminating disparities and inequities,&#8217;
