FOOD SOVEREIGNTY

Food Sovereignty is a basic human right to healthy and culturally appropriate foods created through ecology and other sustainable methods that will allow humanity to maintain our dignity and respect through our daily bread.

HHP II continues to work towards Food Justice and food equality through partnerships to provide support and access to nutritious food for all. Food Sovereignty, First Foods, and Waste FREE food security continues to ignite a sense of urgency for HHP II, to elevate the consciousness of our community and the general public, to enhance the overall quality of lives through nutritional education.

Food Sovereignty is about empowering people, from farmers to eaters, in making the most important decisions about food and agriculture. It is the condition where people define their own food and agriculture systems to produce healthy and culturally appropriate food for people through ecologically sound and sustainable methods.
