Abstract

The presentation advocates for components of national food sovereignty programs that would implement genuine agrarian, fisheries, forestry and pasture land reform. It points out that small food producers are hungry not because there is not enough food produced but because they do not have enough land and access to productive resources to produce their own food, or enough income and money to buy food from the market. Democratic ownership of a national development agenda that includes food and agriculture policies and development must involve the participation of small food producers and of rural women at all levels.
