Justicia Alimentaria

Food as a right, not a privilege

Justicia Alimentaria is an international development organization that has worked since 1987. It describes its approach as environmentalist, internationalist, feminist, and politically independent. Its focus is the food system, with the goal of making healthy food a right rather than a privilege.

Areas of work

• Public campaigns and advocacy directed at governments and the food industry
• International cooperation, including “Raíces de resistencia” (“Roots of Resistance”) in Bolivia, involving Quechua, Chiquitano, and Mojeño-Ignaciano communities
• Education for social change and training for peasant networks
• Research and advocacy through its Observatory of Food Corporations (OCA)

Publications and campaigns

The organization publishes reports and opinion pieces on food labeling, food waste in school cafeterias, precarious work in the agroindustrial model, and regulation of genetically modified products. Its listed campaigns include a call for nitrite-free meat, “Good Food For All,” “El asalto al cuerpo” (“The Assault on the Body”), and “Tope a los precios de la alimentación básica YA” (“Cap the Price of Basic Foods Now”).
