A patchwork of food movements attempts to alter the course of this unsustainable and inequitable system but may remain largely unsuccessful without engaging with broader calls to challenge the underlying structures that uphold them. As the radical approach of food sovereignty becomes increasingly common in the United States, it provides a framework for food movements to align their diverse approaches. This thesis examines how scholars and activists in the U.S. are engaging with food sovereignty in order to identify opportunities for progressive food movements to further engage through the movement's key goals and strategies for restoring democratic control of the food system. 000007706 650__ $$aSocial Justice$$026110 000007706 650__ $$aFood$$019167 000007706 650__ $$aFood Security$$013306 000007706 6531_ $$afood policy 000007706 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine 000007706 692__ $$aGraduate Programs in Human Nutrition 000007706 7001_ $$aLanning, Natalie 000007706 8564_ $$92833ef6a-2762-447c-b21c-28251fb0c476$$s339376$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7706/files/Lanning.Natalie.2017.pdf 000007706 905__ $$a/rest/prod/79/40/7x/88/79407x886 000007706 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7706$$pstudent-work 000007706 980__ $$aFood Systems & Society
