Towards Just Food Futures: Divergent approaches and possibilities for collaboration across difference
The call for Just Food Futures reflects a desire to address social inequities, health disparities, and environmental disasters created by overlapping systems of oppression including capitalism, white supremacy, and heteropatriarchy. While many food movement actors share a desire to meaningfully tackle these issues, the richness and broadness of the food movement does not come without problems. The challenge of engaging with the intersectional nat…
Thresholds of resistance: Agroecology, Resilience and the Agrarian Question
A growing body of literature supports agroecology as a pathway to climate resilience - a claim steadily being adopted by development institutions. However, agroecology's agrarian limitations are often overlooked. Politically contested understandings of resilience introduce further confusion. Agroecological claims of superior climate resiliency cannot be understood in isolation from the socially unsustainable conditions of many smallholders, espec…
The reproach of hunger: Food, justice, and money in the twenty-first century, by David Rieff
I once sat with farmers at a long winter table in Bizkaia, warming up with a flaming carajillo, trying to keep my wits in the steep, unforgiving drizzle of the Basque Country. A grizzled sheepherde
Food sovereignty: Convergence and contradictions, conditions and challenges
This article introduces this special collection on food sovereignty. It frames the collection in relation to a broader political and intellectual initiative that aims to deepen academic discussions on food sovereignty. Building upon previous and parallel initiatives in ‘engaged academic research’ and following the tradition of ‘critical dialogue’ among activists and academics, we have identified four key themes – all focusing on the contradiction…

Linking farmers' movements for advocacy and practice
Eric Holt-Gimenez Over the last few decades two, often distinct, movements have emerged which focus on advocacy for smallholder farmers. First there are peasant organisations and federations focusi
The Agrofuels Transition: Restructuring Places and Spaces in the Global Food System
Despite recent critiques of agrofuels, the industry is booming, signaling transformations in the world's food and fuels systems. International financial institutions, biotechnology firms, governments, and agribusiness are restructuring control over land, genetic resources, economic space, and market power. These moves prefer transnational capital at the expense of farmers in the North and extensive areas vital to the livelihoods of small producer…
From Food Crisis to Food Sovereignty: The Challenge of Social Movements
The current global food crisis — decades in the making — is a crushing indictment against capitalist agriculture and the corporate monopolies that dominate the world's food systems. The role of the industrial agrifood complex in creating the crisis (through the monopolization of input industries, industrial farming, processing, and retailing) and the self-serving neoliberal solutions proposed by the world's multilateral institutions and leading i…
