Food Sovereignty Tops Food First's Agenda
This year Food First dug in its heels for Food Sovereignty defined as people's right to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through equitable, ecologically sound and sustainable methods. Food sovereignty is our right to determine our own food systems. It puts people - not international markets or corporate megaprofits - at the heart of food and development policies.
