Abstract:

Food deserts are low-income areas lacking access to nutritious and affordable food. Such limited access has various implications for public health, particularly diet-related diseases such as diabetes. Among American Indian communities, diabetes is particularly rampant at nearly twice the rate of white populations in the U.S. On the Navajo Nation, diabetes incidence has been estimated to be as high as 1 in 3. According to the USDA, the majority of the Navajo Nation is considered a food desert. This paper utilizes food sovereignty as a lens for decolonization to identify the underlying causes of

Abstract:

This thesis examines the enduring problem of food insecurity in Africa, with a particular focus on Ethiopia and Kenya. It considers food insecurity both in acute terms - the occurrence of famine and chronic terms - famine vulnerability. More specifically it provides a new interpre~tion of the causes of food insecurity in East Africa, with respect to some of the causal factors and viable solutions. It does so by locating the occurrence of famine, and countries vulnerability to it, in the context of the global food system. The global food system is, as yet, an under-examined factor in contempora

Abstract:

This thesis explores the emerging political concept of Indigenous Food Sovereignty. In brief, the concept of Indigenous Food Sovereignty (IFS) makes the claim that Indigenous communities have the right to preserve and practice their cultural traditions surrounding the production of food. Communities should have access to enough land in order to practice their traditions to the point of self-sufficiency. This goal involves limiting the actions of Indigenous individuals through promoting traditional values within Indigenous communities. IFS also seeks to limit the actions of non-Indigenous perso

Abstract:

In order to reverse the decline of small-scale farming in Latin America, many social movements on the political left are advocating “agroecology” and “food sovereignty”. Agroecology is an approach that places biological and cultural diversity at the foundation of agricultural systems. The concept of food sovereignty relates to the orientation to international trade. Proponents of food sovereignty argue that the priority of food systems should focus on local producers and consumers, who should also decide how the system functions. In Uruguay, the creation of a citizens’ proposal called “Sus

Abstract:

Ohio is one of the largest agricultural producers in the United States and yet Ohioans experience food insecurity at a rate two percent higher than the national average. An analysis of Ohio's agricultural sector in relation to the current global food system suggests that the neoliberal imaginary orders social and ecological relations at both the international and domestic levels. This ordering perpetuates and justifies the continued exploitation of both labor and land and is based on ontological separation of human and ecological systems. This imaginary has given rise to the framework of food

Abstract:

Seeds have become one of the most contested resources in our society. Control over seeds has intensified under neoliberalism, and today four large multinational corporations control approximately 70 percent of the global seed market. In response to this concentration of corporate power, an international social movement has emerged around the concept of seed sovereignty, which reclaims seeds and biodiversity as commons and public goods. This study examines the relationship between the global dynamics of commodification and enclosure of seeds, and the seed sovereignty countermovement for decommo

Vermont prides itself on being a national role model in developing innovative models for community-supported, ecologically responsible agricultural practices. However, Vermont's largest sector of agriculture, the dairy industry, has increasingly relied on Latinx* migrant farm laborers who face significant challenges. Due to a lack of a year-round agricultural visa program, most farmworkers on Vermont's dairy farms are unable to receive proper documentation. This circumstance has a significant impact on migrant workers, particularly those living and working closer to the border, as those areas

Background: Ecuador shows high and increasing rates of diet-related non-communicable diseases, attributed in part to a nutrition transition toward more animal-based and processed foods.

However, this has not yet translated to evidence of improved nutrition at the community level.

Abstract:

L’objet de cette thèse est l’activisme environnemental navajo. L’activisme environnemental est souvent perçu dans les sociétés occidentales comme une tendance politique naturelle des peuples autochtones. Cette thèse démontre que ces raisonnements sont infondés et que cet activisme environnemental en territoire navajo ne fait pas consensus au sein de la Nation. Il est en partie le fruit d’une histoire de résistance aux forces coloniales. Les activistes avec lesquels je travaille représentent la troisième génération de militants luttant depuis la fin des années 1960 pour leur souveraineté politi

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar as políticas públicas de desenvolvimento rural no Brasil e na Argentina sob o prisma da nova concepção de ruralidade e de desenvolvimento rural, e, ainda, discuti-las a partir do conceito de soberania alimentar. Para tanto foram analisadas as políticas públicas em vigência no ano de 2010. Observa-se a partir dos anos 1990 a emergência de uma nova concepção de rural e de ruralidade, que deixam de ser compreendidos como setor produtivo ou como área de pobreza para serem encarados como um ambiente com amplas e diversificadas possibilidades de desenvolvi

Este trabalho trata da narrativa de resistência que o Movimento de Pequenos Agricultores-MPA constituiu para resistir aos processos de expropriação das sementes dos camponeses, no estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil. O objetivo é analisar como o projeto de sementes do movimento influenciou a construção da soberania alimentar por meio de suas ações junto às instituições. Como instrumentos metodológicos fontes primárias e secundárias foram utilizadas, levando em consideração o referencial teórico da ecologia política, focado em conceitos de conflitos socioambientais, justiça ambiental e soberania a

Abstract:

O conceito de soberania alimentar surgiu após outros conceitos acerca das questões alimentares. Um deles é o conceito de segurança alimentar que após a II Guerra Mundial já trazia à tona critérios ditos como essenciais para uma alimentação digna e correta. No entanto, ainda não se falava tanto da influência da liberdade e dos modelos de produção da agricultura, que vieram a fazer parte da pauta de discussões mundiais sobre alimentação, principalmente a partir da década de 1990, período em que a partir de inúmeras discussões e propostas de movimentos sociais, foi criado o conceito de soberania

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to describe the harvesting and dietary practices of two rural and remote Indigenous communities. The ethnographic methods of participant observations and semi-structured interviews availed an abundance of rich and detailed data that allowed for a clear understanding of the barriers these two communities face when accessing food. This is an articled-based thesis containing three parts. Part one is composed of a literature review that describes the barriers that have contributed to food insecurity problems in Indigenous communities. It finishes with a chapter dedica

Abstract:

Meeting current and future demands for food is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Despite the positive correlation that exists between food production and urban food demand, food systems remain separate and excluded from cities. Vertical farming has been proposed as a solution projected to address these issues in a sustainable way. This study aims to determine the sustainability of a vertical farm operation and its perceived value to food security and urban systems. This study implements a qualitative approach and case study research design useful for small, applied research s
