The Resnick Program for Food Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law has released a report on the opportunity for law schools within the UC system and across the country to more visibly and holistically address the social, economic and environmental injustices in our current food system. The report was written as part of the UC Global Food Initiative, which challenges the UC campuses to develop solutions to sustainably and nutritiously feed a world population expected to reach eight billion by 2025.
“Food Equity, Social Justice and the Role of Law Schools: A Call to Action” provides an overview of inequities in the food system, highlights case studies of law school activities from across the country that are contributing to a more equitable food system, and specifies ways to incorporate issues of food equity into law school curricula and student experiences.
