Challenges for Food Sovereignty

In: The Fletcher forum of world affairs, Band 32, Heft 1

Abstract

An import-driven focus on food security that is based on technological packages for industrializing agriculture and food systems severely limits rural development policy options. The challenges this poses to food sovereignty include trade rules balanced against developing countries, cooption and loss of local technologies and resources, and the failure of trade-based models to account appropriately for depletion of natural capital.
