To date, there is insufficient analysis on why this is so. At best, reports on funding food systems have measured how there has been a general increase in supporting sustainable food and agriculture, however the intersections of justice within sustainable food systems is not entirely clear. This exploratory thesis examines social justice definitions and priorities as well as the role of funding across private and public sources in food and agriculture. I utilize mixed methods, including content analysis, literature reviews, and surveys with a handful of key thought leaders to better understand the discourse and practices of social justice in the food system. Lastly, this project explores opportunities to shift funding mechanisms and organizational efforts toward advancing social justice programming and research within our food system. 000007692 650__ $$aAgriculture$$014366 000007692 650__ $$aSustainable Development$$012580 000007692 6531_ $$aphilanthropic funds 000007692 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine 000007692 692__ $$aGraduate Programs in Human Nutrition 000007692 7001_ $$aGalarneau, Timothy 000007692 8564_ $$9ea093169-4479-413c-860e-7e8be65f9bc9$$s6190209$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7692/files/Galarneau.Timothy.2015.pdf 000007692 905__ $$a/rest/prod/k6/43/b1/83/k643b183h 000007692 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7692$$pstudent-work 000007692 980__ $$aFood Systems & Society
