Rooted in a rights-based approach, food as a commons offers an important and robust economic alternative to food as a commodity.

This paper responds to this question by adapting two user research tools to support a community to create the building blocks of a food commons with nonhuman nature as equal actants. These user research tools are tested in a workshop with commons scholars to assess how well they support more-than-human thinking against recognized commons analytical frameworks.",
