Food sovereignty

Michael Fakhri

Chapter 34 in Research Handbook on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), 2025, pp 399-409 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: What is common to both TWAIL and the food sovereignty movement is that people in both spaces share an understanding that the debate over when international law can be a radical tool as opposed to a reformist one is a contextual and tactical debate. For the food sovereignty movement, the right to food is a central topic in these types of legal debates. As such, the intersecting space between the right to food and food sovereignty is a potentially productive political space for TWAILers to engage in. Drawing from my experience as a Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, this chapter is intended to provide TWAILers a guide as to how they can establish their own relationships of solidarity with food sovereignty movements and other local and transnational food movements.
