Food Voices: The Interviews

Please visit the interviews that create Food Voices. The farmers and fishermen shown on these pages present unique, yet intertwined stories about why they are part of the food sovereignty movement, what their obstacles are and how they overcome those obstacles. Their stories and images strengthen and deepen the understanding of food sovereignty.
