Dear All, 

Check out our latest article on RED Web by Michel Pimbert. 

Towards Food Sovereignty 

Food sovereignty is a people-led response to the existential threats and multiple crises facing agri-food systems. Led by peasant farmers and agricultural workers, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, and fishers, as well as citizens, activist scholars, women, and youth, these proliferating social movements and citizen networks are seeking to fundamentally transform agri-food systems in terms of conviviality, equity, ecological sustainability, resilience, and justice. 

Emphasising the need to rebuild food governance from the local to global, Michel Pimbert argues that food sovereignty cannot be achieved without participatory direct democracy, economies of care, gender and intersectional justice, and diverse regenerative agro-ecologies.
