This article draws on La Via Campesina's definition of food sovereignty and its potential for reconceptualising food as a basic human right within the dominant Australian food discourse. We argue that the educative value that emerges from urban food production in Australia stems from the action of growing food and its capacity to transform individuals' social and environmental concerns over food systems. Community participation in urban food production can promote a learning process that generates political understanding and concerns over food systems. We use the education theories of transformative learning and critical consciousness to discuss how Australian urban food production systems can create this social and environmental support for alternative food systems. By having control over food production practices and building collective understandings of how food choices impact global food systems, elements of food sovereignty can develop in an Australian urban context.

International audience ; In The Politics of Food Sovereignty: Concept, Practice and Social Movements, editors Annie Shattuck, Christina Schiavoni, and Zoe VanGelder bring together some of the seminal contributions of the Yale McMillan Center Agrarian Studies Program's 2013 conference focused on food sovereignty ("Food Sovereignty: A Critical Dialogue"). These proceedings were originally published in a special issue of the journal Globalizations (volume 12, issue 4, 2015). This book is valuable in general as it dis­cusses the upcoming challenges and contradictions of food sovereignty, a rising concept and political movement in the Global South and North. Con­trasting with the food sovereignty literature to date, which has mainly focused on the Global South (from which food sovereignty movements have emerged), this book shows how the original idea has expanded to encompass the Global North and urban communities. This book includes cases studies from the U.S., Canada, Russia, Peru, and Venezuela, demonstrating that many types of sovereignties may exist and coexist at different scales, which is a big challenge.

In terms of the grain self-sufficiency policy, the South Korean government is attempting to establish a method to develop an overseas grain production base and secure a stable channel to import grains, with no intention of increasing domestic agricultural production by protecting small farmers. The government has accelerated the incorporation of South Korea's agriculture into the global agri-food system by signing the U.S.-South Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the EU-South Korea FTA. These agricultural policies, which lead to the collapse of agriculture and sacrifice farmers' interests, have spurred independent action by farmers. From this perspective, South Korea's current circumstances are similar to that faced by small farmers around the globe. Adapted from the source document.
