Feminist Food Sovereignty: The Revolution that We Need

Feminist Food Sovereignty: The Revolution that We Need

Bandar Lampung, Indonesia – Against the backdrop of the generations-old, agricultural lands of the community of Sidodadi, women from different countries in Asia and the Pacific learned more about food sovereignty in the region, the looming threats to our food systems and the important role that women play in producing and protecting our food.

The solidarity visit to Sidodadi village is one of the highlights of the 2nd Regional FPAR Training on Food Sovereignty, conducted from 2-7 March 2024 in Indonesia. The training focused on various Feminist Participatory Action Research (FPAR) methodologies, as the six FPAR partners are gearing to embark in their data collection, research and analysis phases. With the theme, Feminist Food Sovereignty: Women reclaiming control and fighting back against the corporatisation of food, partners from Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines have identified their respective research focus that aim to address food sovereignty issues in their specific contexts. The training served to assist the partners in articulating and strengthening their impact objectives, as well as identifying the data collection methodologies that they will use in their research phase.
