Food Justice: Part I

By Dr. Sacoby Wilson
Published January 13, 2023 at 12:45 PM EST

This episode of My Block Counts discusses food justice as well as the history and impact of CAFOs, which are facilities that confine large numbers of animals such as hogs, poultry, and cattle in small areas without natural vegetation.

My Block Counts is a podcast series produced by The Center for Community Engagement, Environmental Justice, and Health, with assistance from WYPR. The views expressed are solely Dr. Wilson's.
