EKMEIRO SALVADOR, Jesús. Food Sovereignty: beyond political discourse. An Venez Nutr [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.2, pp.81-87. ISSN 0798-0752.

Food Sovereignty is proposed as a structural political alternative to the current agroindustrial model, expanding the content of the discourse and the scope of its predecessor term of Food Security to dimensions that surpass the official spheres of governments and NGOs. The epithets of this proposal seek a more honest supply of food for the health and food culture of the consumer, rescuing the fair trade to encourage the peasant to stay in rural areas and commit to be a guarantor of agronomic practices with less environmental impact. Implementing these Food Sovereignty policies is a major challenge, which is possible only if consumers and producers, recognizing themselves as the true protagonists of the agri-food chain, are organized in the search to identify and integrate their objectives and actions to drive changes, From below, in the current forms of production and distribution of food.

Palabras clave : Food sovereignty; responsible consumption; agroecology; peasant markets..
