A true definition of "Food sovereignty"

"The right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and culturally appropriate methods, and their right to define their own food and agricultural systems."
Food Security
Food Justice
Having a strong definition of "Food Sovereignty" in urban areas
Creates a foot in the ground for growth
As you expand policy or deal with local government
Having a definition for what you want, which is widely accepted will be a necessity
