Cooperative models as a sustainable alternative in the right to food fulfilment

Activity: Talk or presentationTalk or presentation at a conference

Description

Agricultural cooperative models are vital in developing resilient and sustainable food systems. The various advantages of agri-food cooperatives, namely the democratic participation of their members in decision-making, the simplified economic and financial management, the proven positive influence on food security, and the offer of a labour market, allow arguing these models as natural alternatives for the human right to food fulfilment. However, these models face several challenges in competing in the international and regional market against large food monopolies and legal and political obstacles that slow down or limit their development. This research aims to assess the role of agri-food cooperatives as a real, viable and sustainable alternative in the right to food fulfilment. The main result is aimed at obtaining a rationale for the contributions of agri-food cooperatives as a sustainable alternative and material guarantee for the human right to food fulfilment.
