Food security and food sovereignty: A call to reframe local action

Jennifer interviews Jacques about the global inequities in access to food, and the associated disempowerment of people in relation to food production and distribution (as featuring in the latest edition of New Community, # 67). While half the world is 'stuffed' and obsessed with food, the other half is 'starving'. Jacques talks a bit about some of the root causes, as well as the sort of projects that might offer some solution.Refs:Moore, J. and Patel, R. (2017) A history of the world in seven cheap things.
