Who should provide food, and through what relationships? Whose
livelihoods should be protected? For over 20 years the peasant
farmers of La Via Campesina have been engaged in the fight against
injustice, hunger and poverty under the banner of food sovereignty,
'the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food
produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and
their right to define their own food and agriculture systems'. They
campaign for healthy, sustainable alternatives to an industrial
food system controlled by agribusiness companies and the architects
of unfair trade agreements. This book draws on grounded case
studies of agrarian movements in the Americas and Europe as
exemplars of a 'power shift,' as local opposition scales up to
global action in an effort to wrest control of our food away from
transnational corporations and back to communities.
