“…Direct investment in agricultural land has encouraged debate on the impacts of these investments on the environment, rights of the host nation's citizens to have access to the food grown for export, rural livelihoods, infrastructure development, internal conflict for competing resources of food production, and food sovereignty (Cotula & Vermeulen, 2009;Cotula et al, 2011;Golay & Biglino, 2013).…”

Much has been written about food security, nutrition security and the ability of people to access their food needs. Food sovereignty and the associated ability of people to participate in the production, distribution and consumption decisions of their food have been at the fringe of this discussion. Linked with this is the debate on the question of pursuing policies of food self-sufficiency or policies of self-reliance where food imports are considered a natural extension of food security. Examining the elements of food security through the food system participation framework of food sovereignty is an opportunity worthy of further exploration. This paper seeks to add a dimension to the understanding of food security by considering the value that a food sovereignty perspective has on the right to access food that is nutritious and safe for consumption. Current themes are cited and reviewed, and the implications of both food security and food sovereignty perspectives for the food system are argued. Agricultural trade liberalisation has benefited some societies and harmed others. To this end, the Global Strategic Framework (the Framework) on Food Security and Nutrition has recently incorporated the philosophy of the food sovereignty movement into its guidelines. The Framework provides an opportunity to view food security through a lens of food sovereignty providing guidance for all societies on how to safeguard their food security.

“…Similarly, in her assessment of the global land grab, Narula (2013) describes the two approaches as a "market plus" frame and a "human rights" frame. Her analysis, written before the completion RAI, argues that neither framing adequately addressed the power dynamics inherent in land transactions (See alsoGolay and Biglino 2013).…”

Disputing the Global Land Grab: Claiming Rights and Making Markets Through Collaborative Governance

As transnational movements contest economic inequalities and demand inclusion into global decision‐making processes, new models of collaborative governance have proliferated. Promoters of this new mode of governance suggest that it can produce “win‐win” solutions through inclusive, consensus‐based processes, if these arenas of governance account for power asymmetries within their rules and processes. Yet, by focusing on procedural aspects of collaboration, these accounts overlook how power operates through the wider landscape of transnational legal pluralism. This article adapts the sociolegal disputing approach to the context of global governance through an extended case analysis of the “global land grab.” In doing so, it demonstrates how power operates through the competition to frame disputes across transnational arenas. I argue that the frame through which collaboration is ultimately deployed serves to reconstitute conflicts, thereby subordinating competing claims to the values of the dominant frame. This analysis ultimately suggests participation in collaborative governance comes with risks. By engaging in collaborative processes, activists face the possibility of constituting the very markets they seek to contest.

“…Previous studies underlined the role of land, its tenure system, management and distribution in the concept of food security and food sovereignty, as well as their utmost relevance for MDGs and SDGs (Garnett, T. et al 2013;UNECA 2005). Moreover, the authors of the book do not properly address the problem of land grabbing (although the term is mentioned), that is the focal point of many debates among scholars (Tscharntke, T. et al 2012;Cotula, L. 2013;Endelman, M. et al 2013;Franco, J. et al 2013;Golay, C. and Biglino, I. 2013).…”
