Livestreaming of the 2015 U.S. Food Sovereignty Prize

2015 U.S. Food Sovereignty Prize, which will be presented in Des Moines on October 14, 2015 at 7:00 PM CST. The Food Sovereignty Prize is awarded by the US Food Sovereignty Alliance, which IATP is a member organization. View the awards ceremony on a livestream. The US Food Sovereignty Alliance works to end poverty, rebuild local food economies, and assert democratic control over the food system. We believe all people have the right to healthy, culturally appropriate food, produced in an ecologically sound manner. As a US-based alliance of food justice, anti-hunger, labor, environmental, faith-based and food producer groups, we uphold the right to food as a basic human necessity and public good and work to connect our local and national struggles to the international movement for food sovereignty.
