Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
EDUCATION FOR CHANGE: FOOD FIRST'S PUBLICATIONS ARE WIDELY USED IN UNIVERSITY COURSES AND BY COMMUNITY GROUPS AROUND THE WORLD. FOOD FIRST HAS PUBLISHED OVER 60 BOOKS, WITH TRANSLATIONS IN 22 LANGUAGES WORLDWIDE. IN ADDITION, ITS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND FOOD FIRST RESEARCHERS TEACH COURSES AND SEMINARS, GIVE TALKS, AND PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS EVERYWHERE FROM UNIVERSITY CLASSROOMS AND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES TO FARMS AND COMMUNITY CENTERS. THIS YEAR WE CONDUCTED COMMUNICATIONS WORK SUPPORTING FARMWORKER JUSTICE CAMPAIGNS, PUBLISHED A NYELENI NEWSLETTER ARTICLE COVERING LAND GRABBING AND LAND JUSTICE, AND DEVELOPED A PUBLICATION EDUCATING RESEARCHERS ON HOW TO WORK BETTER WITH SOCIAL MOVEMENTS.
FOOD FIRST BOOKS AND VIDEOS: FOOD FIRST'S MISSION IS TO ELIMINATE THE INJUSTICES THAT CAUSE HUNGER BY CHANGING CONSCIOUSNESS, AWAKENING PEOPLE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF, AND THEIR OWN POWER TO BRING ABOUT, SOCIAL CHANGE. WHILE OUR PROGRAMS CARRY OUT THE RESEARCH, ANALYSIS, AND PROJECTS, THE FOOD FIRST BOOKS AND VIDEOS PROGRAM PROVIDES OUR CONSTITUENTS WITH THE TOOLS TO ADDRESS DILEMMAS ASSOCIATED WITH CHANGE. THIS PROGRAM DELIVERS BOOKS, POLICY BRIEFS, BLOGS, PRESS RELEASES, VIDEOS, NEWSLETTERS, AND BACKGROUNDERS ON ISSUES THAT EXPOSE THE ROOT CAUSES OF HUNGER, IDENTIFY THE OBSTACLES TO CHANGE, AND ADDRESS WAYS TO REMOVE THEM AND SUGGEST MODES OF ACTION TO MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO BE PART OF THE CHANGE.
RESEARCH AND EDUCATION FOR ACTION: THE GOAL OF THE INSTITUTE FOR FOOD AND DEVELOPMENT POLICY/FOOD FIRSTS RESEARCH WORK IS TO GENERATE INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS FOR FOOD SOVEREIGNTY LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY. FOOD FIRST ALSO CARRIES OUT PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP THEM GENERATE THEIR OWN INFORMATION AND ANALYSES. THE COMBINATION OF OUR APPLIED AND PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH PRODUCES REAL-TIME INFORMATION AND INSIGHTS. OUR RESEARCH BRINGS THE PERSPECTIVE OF COMMUNITY-BASED STRUGGLES TO BROADER DEVELOPMENT DEBATES. THE CORE OF FOOD FIRST'S LONG-TIME WORK, OUR RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS IS DISSEMINATED THROUGH A VARIETY OF RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS INCLUDING BACKGROUNDERS, POLICY BRIEFS, DEVELOPMENT REPORTS, AND BOOKS WHICH HELP POPULAR AUDIENCES TO UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEX DYNAMICS OF OUR GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM. THIS YEAR IN PARTICULAR, WE DEVELOPED EIGHT DIFFERENT PUBLICATIONS, COVERING TOPICS FROM CLIMATE CHANGE, FOOD/FARM/FARMWORKER JUSTICE, DISMANTLING RACISM IN THE FOOD SYSTEM, AGRO ECOLOGY, AND GENDER.
