Food Sovereignty Convergence 2023

The Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance (AFSA) is taking its annual Food Sovereignty Convergence to New South Wales in 2023, on 21-23 October at SAGE (Brinja-Yuin Country, Moruya NSW).

Convergence is a space where Australia’s food sovereignty movement comes together in-person to debate, collaborate, share and strategise ways to advance food sovereignty in Australia, as well as set a supportive foundation for local movement building. From farmers to First Nations people, food rights activists to chefs, from researchers to community organisers: we encourage everyone working on food sovereignty and food system change to join us to help shape the agenda for the coming year!

This year’s Convergence is particularly special, as we kick off with the launch of AFSA’s next book, Eating Democracy: The True Cost of the Food We Eat, hosted by Costa Georgiadis. From now until 19 September, we’re raising funds to help us publish the book and put on a spectacular launch event to galvanise a movement of eaters embracing food sovereignty in different ways.

Food sovereignty asserts the right of peoples to nourishing and culturally appropriate food produced and distributed in ecologically sound and ethical ways, and their right to collectively determine their own food and agriculture systems. In the style of an un-conference, we aim to make Convergence an open and democratic space to discuss pathways to achieve food sovereignty for all.
