Molly Anderson’s 2020 Presidential Address for the Agriculture and Human Values Society, is a bold call to action that considers the scope and depth of the challenges facing global food systems. This call has particular relevance to scholars who are closely aligned with struggles for food justice and food sovereignty. In this discussion piece, I suggest additional nuance that builds and expands on Anderson’s three opportunities for “pushing beyond the boundaries”. First, collaborations for social and ecological change must be willing to expand predominant ideas to the varied ways that people engage with food systems (e.g., consider the role of harvesting non-domesticated foods and migrant/undocumented workers across the food chain). Second, interactions with global social movements demands grounding our work in the hearts and minds of individuals and communities while also addressing structural concerns at the levels of governance that enable and constrain food system functions. Third, food systems thinking and action must begin with our relationships to the land and its original inhabitants. The settler colonial project is integrally connected to the dominant food system that is premised on exploitation and control of land, water and people. As scholar allies, “pushing the boundaries” demands acknowledging ways that we are complicit in unjust systems and ways that we benefit from them; doing the personal work required for unlearning and relearning; being prepared to take actions that move towards more equitable and sustainable food systems; and, accepting the potential risks and material consequences that equity demands.

莫莉·安德森 2020 年农业与人类价值社会总统讲话是一项大胆的行动呼吁，考虑了全球粮食系统面临的挑战的范围和深度。这一呼吁与与食品正义和食品主权斗争密切相关的学者特别相关。在这篇讨论文章中，我建议在安德森的三个“超越界限”机会的基础上建立和扩展更多的细微差别。首先，社会和生态变革的合作必须愿意将主导思想扩展到人们参与食品系统的各种方式（例如，考虑收获非驯化食品和整个食品链中的移民/无证工人的作用）。第二，与全球社会运动的互动要求我们的工作立足于个人和社区的心灵和思想，同时还要解决能够实现和限制粮食系统功能的治理层面的结构性问题。第三，粮食系统的思考和行动必须从我们与土地及其原始居民的关系开始。定居者殖民项目与以开发和控制土地、水和人为前提的占主导地位的粮食系统密不可分。作为学者盟友，“突破界限”要求承认我们在不公正的系统中同谋的方式以及我们从中受益的方式；完成忘却和重新学习所需的个人工作；准备采取行动，朝着更加公平和可持续的粮食系统迈进；和，
