For me, food sovereignty is sovereignty over your life, livelihood and health. We are interconnected, therefore food sovereignty is an ecological process of co-creation with other lifeforms. It begins with seed sovereignty: saving and using living seeds. It involves care for the land and soil. We cannot have food sovereignty if we do not feed the soil organisms. Food sovereignty is based on organic farming and avoiding chemicals and poisons. Food sovereignty includes knowledge sovereignty, economic sovereignty and political sovereignty.
I found this on the net without a reference to a book or interview etc.
We have to shift the organic movement into a movement of the people.
Vandana Shiva in an interview for Real Organic Project
You are not Atlas carrying the world on your shoulder. It is good to remember, that the planet is carrying you.
