Anarchism, degrowth, and food sovereignty: exploring overlaps and tensions

This paper explores how anarchist ideas and practices might be useful for goals of societal transitions to food sovereignty and degrowth-and the limits to that usefulness.It discusses how various anarchisms resonate with either concept and their associated movements, ideas, and practices, and practical implications thereof.It concludes by raising three questions for those interested in libertarian socialist approaches to degrowth and food sovereignty, asking us to consider the relative marginality of such radical frames, and the importance of robust (economic and political) theories to effective action.
