To promote justice more broadly, there should be greater emphasis on environmental sustainability as well as procedural and recognitive justice and opportunities for diverse people to participate in food policymaking.įood systems are facing demands for revolutionary changes from the perspective of sustainability (e.g., Clapp et al. The invisibility of the often-invisible groups is also notable in the policy documents. Although these are important for distributive justice and for recognizing vulnerabilities, the current setting reveals risks regarding the possibilities of transitioning to a low-carbon food system. Our results suggest that food security and farmer livelihoods have dominated justice related considerations at the cost of environmental sustainability. Our data consist of Finnish policy strategies relating to the national food system and data from interviews with experts involved in the policy processes. In this article, we take these outcomes as the starting point to study how they relate to the distributive, procedural, and recognitive aspects of food justice in the context of Finnish food policies. From the normative perspective of food justice, a food system should produce three principal outcomes: food security and nutrition, livelihoods and fair income, and environmental sustainability. This knowledge can reveal blind spots and development needs and increase the transparency of potentially conflicting goals, which is essential for designing just transition policies. However, to achieve a just transition and create policies to support the goal of developing sustainable food systems, we need more knowledge of the ways current policies tackle justice. The battle scene depicts the Battle of Syrjäntaka.The need to create more sustainable food systems calls for careful attention to justice in making the transition. The story of the film goes all the way to the end of the Finnish Civil War between the Red Guards (Crofters) and the Whites (Government).

The rural upper class, such as the priestly family, and the poor people, whose socio-economic status is weaker than that of crofters, also play an important role. The central theme is the unstable position of crofters and their goal to improve their living conditions. The third volume was adapted into a film two years later under the title Akseli and Elina.įilm begins the founding of the Koskela croft in the 1880s and tells the story of the life of the people of the imaginary Pentinkulma village until about 1920.

The film is based on the first two volumes of Väinö Linna's novel trilogy Under the North Star. It was entered into the 6th Moscow International Film Festival. Here, Beneath the North Star ( Finnish: Täällä Pohjantähden alla) is a 1968 Finnish drama film directed by Edvin Laine.
