Food sovereignty – a term I have not heard before. I like this idea.
Yes Helen, it is a beautiful term and concept. I am in India right now studying Permaculture and one of the top international voices on food sovereignty from India, Vandana Shiva has a nice definition/explanation of food sovereignty on her organization’s site (Navdanya) – check it out - http://www.navdanya.org/component/k2/item/16-food-sovereignty
