Some are pressuring to institutionalize food sovereignty principles and practices through laws, policies, and programs. While the literature on food sovereignty continues to grow in volume and complexity, there are a number of key questions that need to be examined more deeply. These relate specifically to the processes and consequences of seeking to institutionalize food sovereignty: What dimensions of food sovereignty are addressed in public policies and which are left out? What are the tensions, losses and gains for social movements engaging with sub-national and national governments? How can local governments be leveraged to build autonomous spaces against state and corporate power?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors to this book analyze diverse institutional processes related to food sovereignty, ranging from community-supported agriculture to food policy councils, direct democracy initiatives to constitutional amendments, the drafting of new food sovereignty laws to public procurement programmes, as well as Indigenous and youth perspectives, in a variety of contexts including Brazil, Ecuador, Spain, Switzerland, UK, Canada, USA, and Africa. Together, the contributors to this book discuss the political implications of integrating food sovereignty into existing liberal political structures, and analyze the emergence of new political spaces and dynamics in response to interactions between state governance systems and social movements voicing the radical demands of food sovereignty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnnette Aurelie Desmarais\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Human Rights, Social Justice and Food Sovereignty, University of Manitoba, Canada. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePriscilla Claeys\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience (CAWR), Coventry University, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmy Trauger\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Geography, University of Georgia, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 06, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52478838604083,"sku":"9781138240964","price":113.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/SDBwVm9Ib0I5aFdoNXpJS29wS1Rmdz09.webp?v=1759661972","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/public-policies-for-food-sovereignty-social-movements-and-the-state-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
