Food Sovereignty“Food Sovereignty is the right of individuals, communities, peoples and countries to define their own agricultural, labour, fishing, food and land policies, which are ecologically, socially, economically and culturally appropriate to their unique circumstances. It includes the true right to food and to produce food, which means that all people have the right to safe, nutritious and cultural appropriate food and to food-producing resources and the ability to sustain themselves and their societies.”
International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty, 2002/2004

Food Sovereignty in the IAASTD
“Food Sovereignty is defined as the right of peoples and sovereign states to democratically determine their own agricultural and food policies.” (IAASTD, Global Summary for Decision Makers 2008)

The right to food and the right to produce food
• priority of local production to feed people locally => local markets
• access of smallholder farmers, pastoralists, fisherfolk and landless people to land, water, seeds and livestock breeds and credit => true land reforms
• the recognition of the rights of women farmers • the right of consumers to decide what they consume
=> no GMOS (e.g.)• the right of countries to protect themselves from under-priced
food imports => no dumping• the need for agricultural prices to be linked to production costs
=> fair prices• agro-ecology as a way not only to produce food but also to
achieve sustainable livelihoods, living landscapes and environmental integrity => organic and biodiverse production
