Food Sovereignty

Food sovereignty is defined as meaningful control over how food is produced, procured, processed, and consumed. Small-scale local food production is portrayed as resilience-building but not a full replacement for the national food system for most consumers. People without land, capital, flexible schedules, or nearby regenerative farms remain an unresolved access challenge for food sovereignty. Food sovereignty can include home food production, small livestock, hunting, local food communities, nearby farms, and regenerative producer networks.
