Food sovereignty is the right of people to define their own food and agriculture systems to ensure self-determination, food security, and cultural and environmental sustainability. It puts people in control of their food supply, its production, distribution, and consumption – rejecting corporate control of the global food supply chain and returning decision-making authority to the people. Food sovereignty refutes the “one-size-fits-all” neoliberal model of agri-business, which values profit over common good and places the interests of corporations and elites ahead of those of the world’s small farmers and workers.
