Food sovereignty empowers communities to control their food sources from "summary" of Breaking Through Concrete by David Hanson,Edwin Marty

Food sovereignty is the idea that communities have the right to control their own food sources. This means having the power to make decisions about what crops are grown, how they are grown, and who benefits from the harvest. It is about reclaiming the food system from large corporations and governments, and putting it back in the hands of the people who rely on it for sustenance. When communities have food sovereignty, they are able to prioritize the needs of their own members over profit margins. This can mean growing traditional crops that are well-suited to the local environment, or using sustainable farming practices that protect the land for future generations. It can also mean creating systems that ensure fair wages for farmers and affordable prices for consumers. Empowering communities to control their food sources is not just about food security, although that is an important aspect. It is also about reclaiming cultural heritage, building social connections, and fostering a sense of self-reliance. When people have a say in how their food is produced and distributed, they are more likely to feel a sense of ownership and pride in their community.
  1. But it is one that is gaining traction as people become more aware of the environmental and social costs of industrial agriculture. By promoting local food systems and supporting small-scale farmers, communities can ensure that their food is healthy, sustainable, and fair. Ultimately, food sovereignty is about creating a more just and equitable food system that benefits everyone.
