000007709 520__ $$aThis paper investigates decision-making power and democracy within the food system, emphasizing the benefits of participatory democratic action as a model for decision-making power of ordinary people. With less agency of an industrialized global food system, people are asking what we can do more for the health of our food and our planet, collectively, as a way to countervail the structures of power within the food system. Food movements call for democratic processes to be implemented in the creation of alternatives to the corporate food regime. However, what's clear is that what it means to do democracy varies, and there is no standard set of criteria for determining what participatory democracy should look like in practice. My main research question asks, how we can better address decision-making power in the food system?
