Vortrag
Im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsreihe "Growing Green: Fresh Perspectives in Environmental Ethics II" lädt das FWF Projekt "New Directions in Plant Ethics" zu einem Vortrag von Cristian Timmermann zum Verhältnis zwischen Lebensmittel-Souveränität und KonsumentInnen-Souveränität. Alle interessierten ZuhörerInnen sind herzlich willkommen!
Abstract:
The concept of food sovereignty is becoming an element of everyday parlance in development politics and food justice advocacy. Yet to gain widespread civil society acceptance the idea of food sovereignty and its demands have to be able to coexist with already well-anchored principles of consumer sovereignty. The aim of this article is to examine the different sets of demands that the two ideals of sovereignty bring about, analyse in how far these different demands can be made compatible with each other and explain why consumers have to adjust their demands to harvests variations to promote food sovereignty.
