Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Food Justice: The People between Farm-to-Fork.
12015-09-18T20:35:48-07:00Tahsha LePageea85f1febcb0c09eba63eab8dfe9077d6859f6fa61301Raising consumer awareness of those who fall in between producer to consumer supply chain.plain2015-09-18T20:35:48-07:00Tahsha LePageea85f1febcb0c09eba63eab8dfe9077d6859f6faCurated By: Tahsha LePage This collection looks at the food supply chain between farm-to-fork, the farm being the producer and the “fork” being the consumer. There has been a large local movement of bringing the consumer and producer closer together, exposing the food supply chain. These selections are inspired by my studies of the food system, bringing justice for food workers and social responsibility of institutions in the food chain. I hope to inspire critical thought and social awareness regarding those who fall in between farm-to-fork.
It begins with "The Hands that Feed Us" investigating the lives of those who bring us food. The next two pages present the lives of farmworkers and action by the non-profit Centro Campesino to fight injustices against migrant farmworkers. "Behind the Kitchen Door" brings us into the lives of restaurant workers. The final page offers a reflection on captialism's role within the food system and how that affects the "hands that feed us".
How can we take this information to become better consumers?
