Outline of the Paper Background on Dewey and gardening How we might secure our food system Presentation of five narratives about gardening/food justice and related problems (esp. with the last three) Conclusion: a tentative pragmatist/Deweyan model of food security – a Pragmatic Pyramid

Dewey on Gardening Pedagogy and Politics Education – Laboratory School at the University of Chicago – Alice Waters’ Edible Schoolyard Project (U.S.) – Alexander Kitchen Garden Program (Australia) Politics – New immigrants/nativism/identity – Community gardening – Guerrilla gardening Community – Communication/common – Publics/“civic turn”/dynamic group pluralism – Hilda Kurtz, Mary Beth Pudup

Securing our Food System What is a food system? What is the food movement? What is food insecurity? What is food justice? The changing food security agenda – Stage 1: Global food security – Stage 2: Community food security – Stage 3: Glocal food security

Five Gardening/Food Justice Narratives Narrative # 1: Fighting the good fight against the Neoliberal establishment Narrative # 2: Keeping the multinational food companies out of our gardens! Narrative #3: Greedy gardeners and a looming ecological crisis Narrative # 4: Class and race-based paternalism in the food movement Narrative # 5: Food movement activism and eating disorders

Conclusion—a Pragmatic Pyramid
