Towards Food Sovereignty
An excellent publication has been published by IIED:
Towards Food Sovereignty: Reclaiming Autonomous Food Systems.
This new chapter focuses on the need to transform agricultural research and is released this week to coincide with the CSD discussions on agriculture held in New York. It combines text, video clips, photos, audio recordings and animations in an online publication.
The publication builds and expands on themes addressed in the IAASTD report and more – situating arguments and discussions within the food sovereignty paradigm. It also addresses the politics of knowledge in the governance of food systems as well as notions of cognitive justice and equivalency between indigenous knowledge systems and western science.
You can download the chapter from the IIED website.
