ABSTRACT

A central contribution of this collection is to tackle head-on questions that food sovereignty activists and scholars had often heretofore ignored or been reluctant to examine, with some notable exceptions including Beuchelt and Virchow (2012), Buisson (2013) and Hospes (2014). What, for example, will be required to administer food sovereignty and who or what will do it? Who is the sovereign in food sovereignty? And what kinds of limitations on particular kinds of production or trade does food sovereignty imply?
