Workshop encompassed in the 36^th Summer University of Gandia

Overview:

The course defends the right to have enough food to keep our sovereignty. If we allow that the interests of food industries and large corporations establishes the socio-environmental conditions and the prices of the food we eat and produce, our present and our future will worsen. The right to food sovereignty allows responsible consumption and production. The 5-hour workshop allows exploring the tensions and synergies among the rights of the people that work in agroecology, extensive livestock farming and sustainable fishing in our local environment and poor countries, as well as the right of the consumers. The right to a sustainable future for all the people needs a sustainable production and consumption in terms of environmental, labour and economic issues.
