Haiti: The struggle for Food Sovereignty amid political and systemic

reforms that undermined domestic food production and increased reliance
on US food imports.
Parity Pricing, Supply Management and Fair Income for Family Farms: A
note from the United States [6]
-------------------------
The U.S. experience makes it abundantly clear that "supply management"
is unworkable without a guaranteed minimum price adjusted for inflation.
The first essential element is the price support. A price support is a
minimum price that the buyer must pay to obtain the commodity.

selling their produce, with major processing and trading agents
threatening not to buy their grapes for the 2024 harvest, and extremely
high production costs.

FEATURED VIDEO
[14]
_Depth of Field_ is a series of 40 short documentaries produced and
presented by the National Farmers Union (Canada) and March Forth
Creative. These films highlight Canadian farmers and farm workers,
focusing on their sustainable farming practices both on and off the
land. Featuring topics such as rotational grazing, seed saving, soil
health, and social justice, each farmer shares their unique priorities.
Together, these unscripted films tell the story of farming practices
that can help create the food system we all desire.To access the
