Abstract
This chapter examines a dimension of eco-justice that has yet to be explored fully within the green criminological literature from a political economic perspective: food justice. To be sure, some green criminologists have addressed some of the concerns associated with various aspects of food justice (Walters 2004, 2006, 2007, 2010; Johnson and Walters 2014). There is also a considerable sociological literature on this subject.
