There are several heroes selected for this year’s competition who are or were tremendous contributors to a more just and sustainable food system, such as Winona LaDuke’s efforts for indigenous food sovereignty, Cesar Chavez’s
work with the United Farm Workers union and labor protections for migrant labor, and Grace Lee Boggs, who contributed to Civil rights work and fostered many youth programs in Detroit that integrated food and environment.
