Today, the acute problem of food insecurity continues to concern social workers. However, solely addressing food insecurity is not holistic nor sufficient to adequately promote food justice. Nevertheless, most food assistance resources familiar to and employed by social workers address food insecurity and lack structural change components to fully address food injustice. This paper reports the findings of a scoping review of US-based social work scholarly literature from 2000 to 2020 to understand the profession's engagement with food justice, identify implications for social work practice and education, and promote the development of new knowledge that may result in more social work led, dynamic, and comprehensive food justice. The findings reveal a dearth of unequivocal discourse among social work scholars in the US concerning food justice, highlighting a significant knowledge gap within US-based social work scholarship. This gap underscores the potential for enriching social work education to equip students adequately for addressing food justice in practice. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
