本文探讨了粮食主权的概念和框架如何纳入加拿大社会不同部门的粮食政策议程，特别是在全国农民联盟、魁北克省农民联盟、加拿大粮食安全和土著粮食主权运动的工作和讨论中。该分析强调了粮食主权概念化所面临的挑战，以及制定以不同且经常重叠的规模涉及粮食主权的包容性政策时的紧张局势。我们批判性地评估粮食主权的“多样性统一”原则如何在加拿大背景下发挥作用，特别关注有关粮食主权含义的辩论的政策影响。在加拿大使用粮食主权语言审查广泛行动者的需求时，最明显的是在塑造粮食系统方面重新获得公众声音的共同目标，以及围绕社会正义、环境可持续性和多样性理想的日益趋同。但是，如果粮食主权意味着粮食系统的根本转变，那么它在这个国家还处于初级阶段。
This paper examines how the concept and framework of food sovereignty has been incorporated in food policy agendas across diverse sectors of Canadian society, particularly in the work and discourse of the National Farmers Union, Quebec's Union Paysanne, Food Secure Canada and movements for Indigenous food sovereignty. This analysis highlights both the challenges to conceptualizing food sovereignty and the tensions in defining inclusive policies that engage with food sovereignty at distinct, and often overlapping, scales. We critically assess how the 'unity in diversity' principle of food sovereignty functions in the Canadian context, paying particular attention to the policy implications of debates about the meaning of food sovereignty. What is most evident in examining the demands of a wide range of actors using food sovereignty language in Canada is a shared aim to reclaim a public voice in shaping the food system and a growing convergence around ideals of social justice, environmental sustainability and diversity. But, if food sovereignty is about fundamental transformation of the food system, it is yet in initial stages in this country.
