This work grapples with a fundamental question: is access to food a human right, not just a postcode lottery? It champions ‘food sovereignty’ —communities controlling their own sustenance, free from corporate grip. The author argues this grassroots control offers a more promising route to ending hunger than top-down international efforts. It’s a call for nations to ethically shoulder the responsibility of feeding their people, not just the privileged few. Ultimately, it challenges our own consumption habits and proposes tangible solutions to a deeply flawed global food system.
