About the project

Law and legal rules shape the dominant global model of food production that thrives on environmental destruction and labour exploitation. However, not all food comes by causing environmental and social injustice. Bogoeski investigates how existing alternative practices and visions of sustainable labour coming from agroecological farming, grassroots food movements, food workers and unions in the Netherlands have been inhibited or encouraged by law and legal structures. The project seeks to offer a new bottom-up theory about the role of law in building sustainable labour relations as a central component of food justice in the green transition.
