What is meant by Food Sovereignty
The problem of hunger is aggravating throughout the world
today. The challenges and danger faced by the farmers
incessantly escalating as a result of intensifying economic
crisis, the imposition of globalization and add-on
conditions by WTO, the lack of political will by governments
to implement programs on food production, and many more. In
the face of this crisis, it is apparent that a more
comprehensive resistance against corporate domination in
agriculture and food production is needed.
Part of this struggle is to present a counter policy on food
and agriculture that is pro-people. Food sovereignty is a
state where rights of agricultural workers are respected and
promoted and where access to safe and nutritious food is
made available for all people in the country.
Food Sovereignty is the peoples and communities
fundamental right to determine their food and agricultural
policies. It is the right to access and control of their
means of production. It is the right to safe, culturally
appropriate foods and sustainable food production.
The People's Food Sovereignty is a rights-based approach to
achieving food security and safety and to solving the
problems of hunger and malnutrition..
