Some are pressuring to institutionalize food sovereignty principles and practices through laws, policies, and programmes. While the literature on food sovereignty continues to grow in volume and complexity, there are a number of key questions that, in our view, need to be examined more deeply. These relate specifically to the processes and consequences of seeking to institutionalize food sovereignty. The contributors to this book analyse diverse institutional processes related to food sovereignty, ranging from community-supported agriculture to food policy councils, direct democracy initiatives to constitutional amendments, the drafting of new food sovereignty laws to public procurement programmes, as well as Indi- genous and youth perspectives, in a variety of contexts including Brazil, Ecuador, Spain, Switzerland, UK, Canada, USA, and Africa. Together, the contributors to this book discuss the political implications of integrating food sovereignty into existing liberal political structures, and analyse the emergence of new political spaces and dynamics in response to interactions between state governance systems and social movements voicing the radical demands of food sovereignty.
