Content type:
Web Link

The concept of food sovereignty was developed by Via Campesina and brought to the public debate during the World Food Summit in 1996 and represents an alternative to neoliberal policies.

It was the main theme of the NGO forum held in parallel to the FAO World Food Summit of June 2002.
