As we con­sider the emergent movement to decolonize our diets and <em>utilize food as medicine</em> alongside veganism and vegetarianism trends, we wonder<em> how</em> and <em>if</em> food, foodways, and agriculture are or will be tools to decolonize and reclaim the Taíno identity. In this paper, we will explore two perspectives on the possible opportunities and challenges of such movements and how they will look in the Caribbean and its diaspora.</p> <p><em>Note:</em> Updated version published December 3, 2019, to correctly cite sources on second page.</p> <p>See the <a title="press release archive " href="http://www.icontact-archive.com/archive?c=488966&f=60033&s=84565&m=986999&t=257c360ddc23fcec50d37942ed548ee4169a6c0d76d51e227fa886af9ecdf0c7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> for this article. </p>}, number={B}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, author={García Polanco, Vanessa and Rodríguez-Cruz, Luis}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={25–30} }
