“Food sovereignty means the right of peoples to produce their own food in sustainable and culturally appropriate ways, while maintaining control over agricultural and food policies away from the dominance of global markets.”

The Impact of Global Crises on Food Systems

•         Supply Chain Disruptions: Conflicts and geopolitical crises close ports and delay shipments.

•         Rising Prices: Economic and climate crises drive up global food and energy prices.

•         Reduced Production: Droughts, floods, and wars diminish local agricultural output.

•         Increased Food Insecurity: Millions more face acute hunger each year due to the accumulation of crises.

Conclusion: Global crises make food systems more fragile, leading to price volatility, supply shortages, and higher levels of hunger worldwide..
