Guest Editorial [Cultivating Community-based Food Security: Local Practices, Regional choices and Global perspectives]

Abstract

"Indigenous food sovereignty has recently registered its presence in support of food as a metaphor for Indigenous self-determination and reclamation of cultural identify for Indigenous communities from Canada.... The food sovereignty and Indigenous food sovereignty initiatives have been recently analyzed to reinforce their position as social justice and peasants movements ... which counteracts the so-called top-down supply-driven approaches promoted by the donor-driven and Government supported programs of food security."
