Schanbacer, William D: The Politics of Food: The Global Conflict Between Food Security and Food Sovereignty (original) (raw)

Schanbacer argues that food security encapsulates a neo-liberal approach that promotes dependence on global markets, while food sovereignty represents movements advocating liberation and local control over food systems. The book critiques the dominant food security paradigm, highlighting its role in exacerbating poverty, hunger, and inequality, and advocates for food sovereignty as a human right rooted in community, sustainability, and social justice. Schanbacer calls for a re-evaluation of institutions governing food access to support a more equitable and humane food system.
