Project Summary
Food justice concerns both the structural inequalities and the environmental degradations effected by global corporate food regimes. This project explored an algorithmic approach to creating a sustainable food justice system through co-designing blockchain futures with urban agricultural communities in London. It addressed the question of how can we realign and rebalance the structural and economic inequalities within the corporate food system through new algorithmic infrastructures in order to create more sustainable and just food systems?
