Abstract
The article illustrates how people are capable of mobilizing to advance particular interests, including the diversity and dynamism of food practices. Examples of inspiring citizen-led innovation in Latin America are the re-adoption of underutilized, traditional food sources, such as Andean roots and tubers, grains and leafy vegetables; the rise of heirloom seed production and exchange networks; neighbourhood wholesale purchasing groups, and the culinary activity of food preparation and tasting in kitchens across the region.
