Welcome to the Justice, Equity, Diversity, Decolonization and Inclusion page. 

 

​EAT integrates the principle of JEDDI to guide engagements and inform the development of our progarms. 

 

What is JEDDI:

(JEDI) Justice, equity, decolonization, and inclusion or (JEDDI) justice, equity, decolonization, diversity, and inclusion is a framework that supports the integration of JEDDI values within exiting and emerging systems, programs and social structures.

 

Core Values of JEDI in food systems focus on:

- Empowering participatory approaches that build the capacity of participants.

- Centering lived and living experiences.

- Embracing ‘othered’ ways of knowledge.

- Using multi-method and mixed methods research.

- Embedding respect for self-determination.
