Planning for Food Justice: Addressing Conflict and Community Farm Governance through Participatory Action Video

This major project addresses a number of the currents of thoughts contained in Ho's Plan of Study; namely the roles of social movements, governance, and power in the case of an evolving community urban farm. In a community-directed collaborative project, Ho has used participatory action video to highlight local experiences with Black Creek Community Farm (BCCF) in Toronto, Ontario. The project intertwined with BCCF’s ongoing transition towards community governance and Ho's analysis investigates the role of communicative and participatory planning in addressing conflict, power, and knowledge production. In the struggle towards food justice in Toronto and worldwide, Ho's imperative is to contribute a nuanced discussion on the role of institutions and community-based governance for socially-just land use outcomes
