People of faith throughout North America, outraged by the fact that so many people around the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition while there is more than enough food to eat, have raised their voices against the negative impact of corporate concentration in the food system.
Churches have used their voices to cry out against the unjust labor conditions under which farmworkers labor to harvest, process and package food.
Through shareholder actions and institutionalizing the purchase of fair trade products faith communities have used their consumer power to campaign against corporate control of the food system.
Driven by faith convictions faith communities have played a significant role in educating people about the root causes of hunger and food insecurity and have demanded justice from the corporate food system.
