Food for Thought and Action: A Food Sovereignty Curriculum

It's been said that "you are what you eat." In the face of a global food
crisis, it's clear that we've been forced to swallow far more than
what's on our plates. Our global food system is terribly broken, with
nearly a billion hungry people around the world. Millions more are
forced from failed farms as industrial agriculture privatizes and
despoils our water, soil and biodiversity. Policies such as the U.S.
Farm Bill and the North American Free Trade Agreement, have, in large
part, brought us to this place. How can we respond to such a massive
and urgent problem? The answer, according to small farmers,
farmworkers, fishers, consumers, environmentalists and indigenous
peoples throughout the world, is food sovereignty. And to generate an
informed and vibrant movement for food sovereignty, we must first
understand how the food system works, its failures, and the hopeful
alternatives that are blossoming throughout the world. Food for Thought
and Action: A Food Sovereignty Curriculum does just that. This free
curriculum is divided into four modules: one each for consumers, faith
and anti-hunger groups, environmentalists and farmers.
