  1. Background

In the framework of its food sovereignty program, the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation support the North African Network for Food Sovereignty through close cooperation on specific aspects of the network’s activities. Since its creation in 2017, the North African Network for Food Sovereignty has been working on the issues of small-scale food producers in the North African region. The popularization effort around the concept of food sovereignty has since begun with the creation of a website, the publication of theoretical and field studies, the production of documentaries, the organization of regional, physical and remote meetings, targeting small producers, agricultural workers and fishermen. These activities have aroused great interest in the region and have led to the membership of many organizations from North African countries, including Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco and Algeria, and more recently from beyond the region, including Sudan, Mauritania, Palestine and Lebanon. Thus, the Sovereignty Network is on the path of organizational expansion to unify visions and struggles around the project of food sovereignty.
