    https://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2013/06/10-5

    From Colombia to Lebanon, to India and across the US, a rising movement of farmers, workers, fishers, and agrarian communities is creating innovative solutions to hunger and poverty—and over 40 such initiatives have been nominated for the Food Sovereignty Prize, to be awarded this October in New York City.

    The nominees, part of a growing food sovereignty movement that’s rebuilding rural and urban food systems and economies across the globe, come from 21 countries and every continent, representing millions of people.

    Now in its 5th year, the Food Sovereignty Prize spotlights grassroots activists working for a more democratic and sustainable food system. In honoring communities that are reclaiming their food systems, the prize shows how democratic access to land, water, and fair wages are central to ending world hunger.

    The Food Sovereignty Prize is awarded by the US Food Sovereignty Alliance. The US Food Sovereignty Alliance works to end poverty, rebuild local food economies, and assert democratic control over the food system. We believe all people have the right to healthy, culturally appropriate food, produced in an ecologically sound manner. As a US-based alliance of food justice, anti-hunger, labor, environmental, faith-based and food producer groups, we uphold the right to food as a basic human necessity and public good and work to connect our local and national struggles to the international movement for food sovereignty.
