Feminist perspectives towards transforming economic power: topic 1 food sovereignty

This article, written by Chilean feminist researcher Pamela Caro presents key elements of the concept of food sovereignty. She unpacks the history of food sovereignty from its origins in the experience of the peasants’ movement, (of which the international and Latin American women’s peasant movement has played a central role) as a response to a specific political and economic context marked by trade liberalisation and the rise in food prices at the global level.
