In this study, we examine cases of food insecurity and food justice issues in Vermont's environmentally vulnerable communities. Using a structured door-to-door survey (n = 569), semi-structured interviews (n = 32), and focus groups (n = 5), we demonstrate that: (1) food insecurity in Vermont's environmentally vulnerable communities is prominent and intersects with socioeconomic factors such as race and income, (2) food and social assistance programs need to be more accessible and address vicious cycles of multiple injustices, (3) an intersectional approach beyond distribution is required to address food justice issues in environmentally vulnerable communities, and (4) paying attention to broader contextual and environmental factors may provide a more nuanced approach to understanding food justice.
在本研究中，我们调查了佛蒙特州环境脆弱社区的粮食不安全和粮食公正问题。通过结构化的挨家挨户调查（n = 569）、半结构化访谈（n = 32）和焦点小组（n = 5），我们证明：（1）佛蒙特州环境脆弱社区的粮食不安全问题突出，且与种族和收入等社会经济因素相互交织；（2）粮食和社会援助项目需要更易于获得，并解决多重不公正的恶性循环；（3）需要一种超越分配的交叉性方法来解决环境脆弱社区的粮食公正问题；（4）关注更广泛的背景和环境因素可能会提供一种更细致入微的方法来理解粮食公正。
