    Food sovereignty is one such approach towards this transition from localized to modern global food systems, and at its core, it rests on the rights of local communities to own their food production, distribution, and consumption.

Such is often accompanied by negative repercussions like loss of biodiversity, food insecurity, and environmental degradation.
