SUMMARY:2015 - U.S. Food Sovereignty Alliance’s - Prize Winners
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, the U.S. Food Sovereignty Alliance’s two prize winners are the Federation of Southern Cooperatives in the U.S.\, and the Black Fraternal Organization of Honduras. The prizes will be presented on Tuesday\, October 14 at the Trinity United Methodist Church\, 1548 8th Street in Des Moines\, IA at 7:00 p.m. \nThe Food Sovereignty Prize challenges the view that simply producing more through industrial agriculture and aquaculture will end hunger or reduce suffering. The world currently produces more than enough food\, but imbalanced access to wealth means inadequate access to food. Real solutions protect the rights to land\, seeds and water of family farmers and indigenous communities worldwide and promote sustainable agriculture through agroecology. Please check out U.S. Food Sovereignty Alliance and Food Sovereignty Prize online.  \nContact:\nLisa Griffith\, National Family Farm Coalition\nUS Food Sovereignty Alliance\n(773)319-5838\nlisa@nffc.net
