“…The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child recommended that Australia improve its social services (for education, health, income support, disability services and employment to strengthen their responsiveness for those at risk) [ 1 ]. Liberal state welfare models increase reliance on markets, individual responsibility and charitable responses rather than the state acting to universally respect, protect and fulfil the needs of vulnerable citizens [ 2 ]. As a consequence of the liberal model of welfare capitalism [ 3 ], more Australians are experiencing poverty, leading to food inequality [ 4 ] and a reliance on food assistance.…”

South Australian (SA) food charity recipients’ perspectives were sought on existing services and ideas for improvement of food assistance models to address food insecurity. Seven focus groups were conducted between October and November 2017 with 54 adults. Thematically analysed data revealed five themes: (1) Emotional cost and consequences of seeking food relief; (2) Dissatisfaction with inaccessible services and inappropriate food; (3) Returning the favour—a desire for reciprocity; (4) Desiring help beyond food; and, (5) “It’s a social thing”, the desire for social interaction and connection. Findings revealed that some aspects of the SA food assistance services were disempowering for recipients. Recipients desired more empowering forms of food assistance that humanise their experience and shift the locus of control and place power back into their hands. Some traditional models, such as provision of supermarket vouchers, empower individuals by fostering autonomy and enabling food choice in socially acceptable ways. Improvement in the quality of existing food assistance models, should focus on recipient informed models which re-dress existing power relations. Services which are more strongly aligned with typical features of social enterprise models were generally favoured over traditional models. Services which are recipient-centred, strive to empower recipients and provide opportunities for active involvement, social connection and broader support were preferred.

“…Devido ao fato de que o Direito Humano à Alimentação não tem sido garantido a milhares de pessoas, em diversas partes do mundo (CLAEYS, 2015;MCMICHAEL, 2015), a proposta alternativa de soberania alimentar tem despontado como uma possibilidade de amenizar alguns dos efeitos negativos que estão relacionados a isso. Em sua "segunda geração", a soberania alimentar tem destacado não só as péssimas condições a que estão submetidos milhares de pequenos produtores em países pobres, como também a necessidade de se remodelar as políticas de acesso ao alimento nos centros urbanos.…”

“…Atualmente, como parte da influência que a economia de mercado tem exercido sobre diversas esferas da vida social, um seleto grupo de grandes corporações tem controlado todas as etapas do sistema alimentar global (McMICHAEL, 2003). Tal fato tem criado dificuldades tanto para que milhões de camponeses acessem os mercados como também para que a população de baixa renda do campo e da cidade possa consumir alimentos saudáveis (CLAEYS, 2015;McMICHAEL, 2015;STUCKLER;NESTLE, 2012). Como uma alternativa a isso, desde meados da década de 1990, grupos contra-hegemônicos capitaneados pela coalização internacional de movimentos camponeses La Via Campesina têm defendido a proposta de soberania alimentar (DESMARAIS, 2015;WITTMAN;DESMARAIS;WIEBE, 2010).…”

ResumoNum processo mais visível no Hemisfério Norte, porém, também presente no Hemisfério Sul, nos últimos anos tem emergido uma série de ações com o intuito de fazer dos espaços urbanos protagonistas dos sistemas alimentares locais, fato que demarca a “segunda geração” da proposta alternativa de soberania alimentar. São exemplos disso, conselhos de políticas alimentares, mercados de produtos locais, hortas e pomares urbanos e outros. Com base em tal referência, nesse texto é feita uma análise da implementação de hortas escolares em Vancouver, no Canadá, utilizando o método qualitativo. Destaca-se que, apesar de serem efetivadas em escolas públicas, os maiores responsáveis por tais inciativas são Organizações Não-governamentais (ONGs) que desenvolvem projetos de promoção da agricultura local e de educação alimentar.Palavras-chave: Soberania alimentar; Vancouver School Board; Farm to School BC; agricultura urbana; hortas escolares. AbstractIn recent years a series of actions in order to turn urban spaces into protagonists of local food systems has emerged, as part of a process that is more visible in the Northern Hemisphere – but also present in the Southern Hemisphere – a fact that marks the "second generation" of the alternative proposal of food sovereignty. Examples include food policy councils, farm markets, urban gardens, orchards and others. Based on these references, this paper offers an analysis of the implementation of school gardens in Vancouver, Canada, by using the qualitative method. It is noteworthy that, despite taking place in public schools, those most responsible for such initiatives are Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that develop projects promoting local agriculture and food literacy.Keywords: Food sovereignty; Vancouver School Board; Farm to School BC; urban agriculture; school gardens.

The Urban Politics of Human Rights Practice

Social movement organizations are increasingly developing human rights strategies at the municipal level, particularly in European urban contexts. Yet critical scholarly work on human rights has overlooked two related realities: non-state-centric, social movement use of the tools and discourses of rights, and the strategic participation of citizen groups in municipal urban policy spaces. This article builds on critical human rights theory through the experiences of three grassroots organizations claiming and exercising social rights in urban policy spaces of Barcelona, Valladolid, and London. It engages with a number of scholarly critiques of the state and human rights, particularly focusing on those critiques that question their compatibility with autonomy, democracy, and self-government at the local level. While the value of such critical literature is undeniable, we show how urban grassroots practices and experiences with social rights-based strategies in the context of housing, water, and participation can circumvent some of these critiques on the ground, pointing at new avenues for critical legal research when infused with other critical discourses, including urban politics.
