The Food Empowerment Project (F.E.P.) is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a more just and sustainable world. They emphasize the significant impact of our food choices.
F.E.P. works on multiple fronts to address various injustices within the food system. For instance, they advocate against the abuse of animals on farms, striving for a compassionate society. They also spotlight the unfair working conditions faced by produce workers, seeking to improve their rights and safety.
Beyond that, F.E.P. tackles the critical issue of food access. They conduct research and work with communities to highlight the lack of healthy food options in low-income areas and communities of color, subsequently pushing for policy changes. They also actively campaign for corporate transparency, particularly in the chocolate industry, to combat child labor and slavery. This involves educating consumers and maintaining a comprehensive list of ethical chocolate brands.
Ultimately, F.E.P.’s mission is to empower individuals to make informed food choices that align with ethical considerations for animals, people, and the environment. They believe that by recognizing the power of what we eat, we can collectively work towards a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
