ABSTRACT
This chapter analyses the ways in which justice-related themes such as democratic participation, freedom, equity, diversity, transparency, and choice play out through different forms of digital technologies, with particular attention to the ways in which individuals engaged in disruption are changing the discourses and practices of food justice. It discusses the role of digital technology in food-oriented social progress initiatives, before moving to a consideration of the ways in which digitally enhanced food projects elicit both advantageous and disadvantageous qualities. The chapter analyses several examples of food disruption and shows the ways in which disruptors' efforts are oriented towards changing the relationships presumed to inhere between problems and solutions. Animals and crops are often tagged with radio frequency identification chips that are then scanned and entered into database systems to track them as they move through the food system. The chapter describes a series of food-themed events focused on experimentation, transgression, and disruption.
