Food Sovereignty and Alternative Paradigms to Confront Land Grabbing and the Food and Climate Crises

Peter Rosset

Development, 2011, vol. 54, issue 1, 21-30

Abstract: In the contemporary world we face a systemic crisis where multiple dimensions converge, including an economic crisis, a financial crisis, a climate crisis, an energy crisis, a food crisis, and runaway land grabbing. Peter Rosset argues for a paradigm shift toward food sovereignty based on genuine agrarian reform and sustainable peasant agriculture, which he sees as the only way to address the multiple crises.
