Food sovereignty offers opportunities to advance women’s rights within the food system, but we must also work to restore gender relations within rural families and within our own movement. Food sovereignty is about to peoples’ right to decide what to produce. From a feminist perspective, we need to ask ourselves who has the power to exercise this right. Peasant movements such as La Via Campesina must step up to the challenge of articulating food sovereignty and feminism.
