This article develops the concept of food sovereignty while it critically reflects on its present status and future trajectories. The
concept of food sovereignty provides an alternative framework for solutions to the human and ecological consequences of
industrial food systems. While the concept of food sovereignty gains traction at international levels, including at the United
Nations, its lack of conceptual clarity contributes to a variety of often diverging interpretations. This frequently constrains
practical implementation and weakens its potential as an alternative paradigm to food governance. At the same time, food
sovereignty thought is shifting beyond its initial agrarian focus to embrace whole food systems, which includes the role of
consumers and urban areas.
