The right to adequate food is a human right. Still, more than 800 million people suffer from hunger, while half a billion suffer from obesity. Small scale farmers feed the majority of the world’s population. Still the current global food system does not support their rights. Instead, policies both on national, regional and international levels support investments in large scale industrial agriculture. Small scale farmers and social movements all over the world resist by developing sustainable alternatives to this dominant paradigm, both on policy and practical levels.
