DIG IN! Paul Nicolson Food Sovereignty

Paul Nicolson on La Via Campesina.

What do we mean by food sovereignty?: Basically, putting control of food back in the hands and bellies of people.

Dig In! is a youth-led project. We are using Food Sovereignty as a tool to help us understand the world around us, how food is produced, and how we can make positive change together. Were working to make a difference about food and farming, both in Canada and around the world.

How? Together, well build a participatory workshop on food sovereignty with and for people in communities across the country, from young farmers to urban youth to members of the general public. Well ask: what does food sovereignty mean to different communities? How can we use it to build stronger connections between people and food, and create more just food and agriculture policies?

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Whats going on with food and farming in your community? Do you want to participate in or facilitate a workshop on food sovereignty?

Yes, I want to participate in Food Sovereignty. This has a strong resonance with me.. I have been studying permacultural Food Forest Design principles and establishing in my mind its application to my local community. Rather than escaping from the society that seems so degraded and vulnerable because of its lack of "FOOD Sovereignty" -i.e the ability to find food outside your door, and the value of unpaid familial support provided by women. I am a home DAd.! Learning and supporting my kids.
