In 2021, while marking the 25th anniversary of bringing food sovereignty principles to the debate around global food and agriculture policies, La Via Campesina launched a series of postcards* that define our collective construction and envisioning of Food Sovereignty. The series, prepared with the help or artist Rosanna Morris, illustrates the key pillars of the Food Sovereignty Declaration developed and shared during the 1996 UN Food Summit held in Rome.
THE FILM
ON FOOD SOVEREIGNTY
The same year, with help from Freehand Studios, La Via Campesina also produced an animation film, that succinctly explains the Food Sovereignty principles. It explains how Food Sovereignty places us – the peasants and all other small-scale food producers- at the heart of food systems, instead of powerful corporations, by building on the principles of solidarity, collectivism and social justice. Food Sovereignty defends our past, present and future generations, and is an alternative to a destructive and harmful industrial food system.
