Food Security
Episode 22 | 3m 25s
Food: deserts, security, sovereignty — terms, culture and politics for feeding the world.
The politics and culture of food are often expressed in terms of food security and food sovereignty. These terms are often used interchangeably, even though they mean different things. Erika Allen of Chicago’s Grower Power explains that food security considers whether a person knows where their next meal is coming from, while food sovereignty defends a community’s right to decide how they are fed.
