DINNER PLATE VOCABULARIES: A COLLABORATIVE SOIL & SEED-BASED LEXICON on food systems and justice movements

researched/written/compiled/begun by Melina Roise

COMMON GROUND focuses on our planetary co-habitants of plants, seeds, soil, and the interwoven ways we develop culture and sustenance. By exploring food injustice and justices, our diverse experiences of relating to land and our dinner plates, and celebrations of bodies and cultures, we work to remember ways of being in community with the human and more-than-human..

This dictionary is intended to be an ongoing project drawing from global and local leaders in food and land advocacy. We hope it guides you into deeper engagement with broader topics presented within the projects of the biennial.

This project is acknowledged to be definitively incomplete and inadequate. For more resources, reference the footnotes, and see also the Common Ground Collaborative Syllabus and Common Ground network projects.
