Farming Matters | 33.1 | April 2017
This issue of Farming Matters is about food sovereignty: a self-organised, grassroots response to today’s problematic food and farming system. Diverse people, such as producers, consumers, peasants, migrant farm workers and urban citizens are uniting around initiatives to regain control over their food and natural resources.
The experiences presented in this issue address interwoven issues related to production, processing, trade and consumption of food. Together they highlight the value of tackling policy at multiple levels while taking practice into one's own hands.
