A month ago, the US government<\/strong>, led by Donald Trump<\/em>, began to threaten national sovereignty with taxes, colonialist speeches and political impositions that put Brazil’s autonomy at risk. A political discourse that praises violence<\/strong>, discredits democracy<\/strong> and hurts our homeland<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

But the national government, under Lula<\/em>‘s leadership, is willing to negotiate and reaffirms that Brazil is a sovereign country<\/em>. Trump was elected to govern the United States, not the world.<\/em> It’s time to put national sovereignty on the agenda and reaffirm that we are indeed an independent country.<\/p>\n\n

But what does it mean to be sovereign?<\/strong> How can we guarantee national sovereignty? And when we talk about agroecology, hunger, food and food security, can we say that we have food sovereignty? <\/p>\n\n

That’s what we’re talking about on Cantos <\/em>. Sandra Chaves<\/strong> is a nutritionist, PhD in Public Administration and professor at UFBA – Federal University of Bahia<\/strong>. She is part of the executive coordination of the PENSSAN Network – Brazilian Research Network on Food and Nutritional Sovereignty and Security<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n
