Very timely given that Nicole Foss is currently back in Australia. The rebuilding of community through reconnections to food goes, in my view, to the essence of what constitutes food sovereignty. In my thesis I juxtapose what I term food sovereignty’s ‘ontology of connectedness’ with the ‘ontology of separation’ that characterises the globalising capitalist food system.

Thanks for re-posting my op-ed Nick. I agree there certainly is an ontological realignment necessary to achieve the goal of true sustainability and food security.
Thank you Ben – enjoyed your post a lot, loved the reference to guanxi. In terms of an ontological realignment, I can certainly recommend this 1-hour doco: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n1p9P5ee3c – ‘Crossroads: Labor Pains of a New Worldview’. The question is whether the realignment will come in time.
