How does that regime affect the local food movement and ethnic groups' access to their preferred foods? This book addresses that question and suggests that the protection of ethnic and national food security and sovereignty strengthens immigrant integration while producing healthy crossover effects for other Canadians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The authors show how culture, food, and migration are intertwined and how access to ethno-cultural vegetables is affected by ethnicity, social class, shopping venues, and food prices. Most ethnic vegetables are imported by corporations and ethnic intermediaries and pass through Toronto's Food Terminal; however, local farmers are now producing some of these vegetables, and alternative forms of agriculture and markets play a significant role in bringing ethno-cultural vegetables to our tables. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Social justice requires that people have both food security and food sovereignty. \u003ci\u003eEat Local, Taste Global\u003c\/i\u003e offers solutions to identified contradictions that include making farmers' markets more inclusive, improving conditions for migrant farm workers, and making alternative forms of agriculture more feasible.
