The thinking behind the work
This is not an opinion. It is an architecture.
Essays drawn from Hunger by Design, our founder's book. They name the system rather than any person, and they map the invisible infrastructure that keeps First Nations communities food insecure, and the redesign.
Hunger by Design
The fight for First Nations food justice.
The book sets out the First Nations Asset Model, a community led planning platform, and a dedicated food security target for Closing the Gap. It is the research a Paul Ramsay Foundation fellowship made possible, and the reason Jaway builds the way it does.
Essays
- The missing columnEvery target in Closing the Gap stands on a floor that is not there. Why food security belongs on the national list, and what it would take to add it.
- The invisible infrastructureSix quiet layers hold food insecurity in place. Each looks reasonable on its own. Together they form an architecture no one would choose, and that is the hopeful part.
- Proof, not promiseA fishery, a farm and a kitchen. What community ownership of a food system looks like when it is built rather than described.
