REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Watch a Documentary about Food Sovereignty

How does food sovereignty address the complex agrarian transition to modern food systems?

Jennifer Sabbak 10/11/2019 11:38 AM

Food sovereignty addresses the local need for people to be in control of what their food choices are, much related to food security. this is complex because where people live (ecosystems) are vastly different therefore producing and cultivation of foods are different. Poorer communities tend to dwell in urban like settings and are unavailable to the access of fresh fruits and vegetables. Modern food systems must try and fix this scarcity of fresh foods in theses areas. An option maybe something like vertical farming or urbanized farming!
