The industrial food system has created a crisis in the United States that is characterized by abundant food for privileged citizens and &ldquo;food deserts&rdquo; for the historically marginalized.&#160;In response, food justice activists based in low-income communities of color have developed community-based solutions, arguing that activities like urban agriculture, nutrition education, and food-related social enterprises can drive systemic social change. Focusing on the work of several food justice groups&mdash;including Community Services Unlimited, a South Los Angeles organization founded as the nonprofit arm of the Southern California Black Panther Party&mdash;<I>More Than Just Food</I>&#160;explores the possibilities and limitations of the community-based approach, offering a networked examination of the food justice movement in the age of the nonprofit industrial complex.
