      Yes, that question seems kind of abtruse as stated. I think we should simply look at Food Sovereignty principles one at a time and ask,  "how do we get there from here?”
       
      Food Sovereignty Principles
      1. Food is a basic human right.
      2. Agrarian reform is necessary to make land available to people.
      3. People have the right to practice sustainable management of natural resources.
      4. Reorganize food trade to ensure import of food does not depress local production or increase prices.
      5 End globalization of hunger by enforcing a code of conduct for transnational corporations.
      6. Food must not be used as a weapon.
      7. Small farmers must have direct input into formation of agricultural policy at all levels.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

    I as an American tend to think America is the best country and the most dominate. I think that contributes to me eating meat, even though I know when i reduce the amount i eat, I feel better, and look better.

    I think the more celebrities that publicly  eat less meat, the more Americans will do it.

    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
