Summary:

The publication depicts how civil society initiatives play an increasing role in shaping local food systems and how they are drawing up food policy. Various cases from Kenya, Burkina Faso, Vietnam, Nepal, Germany, France, Switzerland, Columbia, and Brazil are presented.

Agroecology provides alternatives to the capital-intensive, industrial and export-oriented agriculture, which is guided by corporate interests. Farmers in the global South and North are recognized as central actors in the food system, local markets are strengthened and the independence from mineral oil, chemicals and genetic engineering is promoted.

The publication portrays alternatives that have already been successfully implemented and analyzes which political instruments are necessary to support and further spread Agroecology. The readers are invited to advocate for a socially just and environmentally sustainable reorientation in the agricultural sector.
