  Agroecology : real innovation from and for the people
  The crisis in the industrial food system is impossible to ignore. For over a decade, study after study has validated the assertion of the Food Sovereignty movement in 2007 - that the corporate food system destroys life. Now Governments are anxious to find ‘innovations’ in agriculture that can overcome this. They are hoping to be saved by a new Green Revolution – innovations in science and technology that can increase production without (...)

  Editorial - Food sovereignty at the rural-urban interface Illustration : Lucy Everitt for the Australian City Farms and Community Gardens Network - communitygarden.org.au
  The rural-urban interface is a complex social space where politics and culture are in constant flux. It can also be a physical place, where the wealth and resources of villages, towns, peri-urban suburbs, and suburbanized rural areas are in dispute. Taken globally, it is a vast territory with potential to grow food (...)

  Editorial : Beyond Land – Territory and Food Sovereignty Illustration by Luisa Rivera / www.luisarivera.cl
  Land has always been a highly contested good. Control over land and related resources reflect the power relations in a country/region, and are an indicator of existing social injustices. At the same time, these resources are central to the rights, livelihoods and identity of small-scale food producers, and they have been at the heart of the food sovereignty movement from its (...)

  Editorial
  Water is an essential element for life and a crucial component of the human environment. It is also an indispensable natural resource needed for the production of our food and the maintenance of our planet’s basic functions. For these reasons, water has increasingly become a central political element in peoples’ struggles for food sovereignty.
  The current edition of the Nyéléni newsletter exposes the growing global threat of privatization and commodification of water – especially (...)

  A new food price crisis : the time has come to put people at the centre of the food system !
  Chronic, persistent and increasing hunger levels. Rising demand on top of a collapsing resource base. Unsustainable consumption patterns and waste. Feedstocks diverted from food to fuel. Extreme vulnerability. Climate chaos. Political unrest and food riots. Markets rigged against the many in favour of the few. Spiralling food prices... The dominant food system is not delivering.

Variously called fascist, authoritarian populist, dictatorships and even democracies, these forces are identifiable by (...)

  Editorial : Land grabs and land justice Illustration by Boy Dominguez, the Journal of Peasant Studies special issue on Green Grabbing, 2012
  Land is the basis for social life. It is a foundation not only for agricultural production, but also shapes and is shaped by societies’ political, economic, and cultural dynamics : power affects land access, and land access grants power.
  Given land’s central role to human society, it is unsurprising that it has also been central to profit accumulation (...)
