TL;DR: The authors argue that productivist farming approaches that are favored by both industry and government are proving incapable of bringing about long-term production outcomes that will guarantee national food security, and argue that expansion in food production in an era of climate change will continue to compromise the environment.

TL;DR: The authors argue that the dualism of productivism and post-productivism as concepts on agricultural policy regimes are too simplistic and discuss whether multifunctional agriculture is a better concept for a comparison of rural primary production at two extreme points of the scale, the marketoriented, liberalistic Australian agriculture and the market-protected small-scale Norwegian agriculture.

TL;DR: This article examined the extent to which food sovereignty has become embedded as a concept, strategy and practice in the US urban food justice movement and found that while many organizations do not use the language of food sovereignty explicitly, the motives behind urban food activism are similar across movements as local actors draw on elements of each in practice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the experience of the membership organisations that make up the international network of Shack or Slum Dwellers International (SDI), and identify some successful strategies with regard to the contribution of membership organisations to poverty reduction in urban areas.
