The food sovereignty movement challenges the economic polarization within the food system and tries to address the causes of disempowerment that lead to hunger from a feminist perspective.

För att biståndet ska bli effektivt krävs det att givarna väljer och prioriterar vad de vill satsa på. Både Sverige och Norge har under det senaste decenniet försökt minska antalet länder som får deras bistånd. Nu verkar det dock gå åt andra hållet. Snabba politiska förändringar riskerar att göra biståndet urvattnat, skriver forskaren Rune Jansen Hagen.

Instead, as research has confirmed over and over again, increasing greenhouse gas emissions raise the average temperature on earth over time. Therefore, in this edition we share some perspectives on issues related to climate change which may change our planet as we know it. Meanwhile, Senator Inhofe’s hunt for snowball and cheap points continues, although chances are it will be increasingly difficult for him to find one. We will, however, offer some thoughts on why Inhofe is in denial, on the consumerist culture, climate refugees, biofuels and the North-South divide in this issue.
