The 3F (food-fuel-finance crisis) has highlighted the continuous and renewed process of capitalistic accumulation, by dispossession and creative destruction, as well as the fundamental role of agriculture for social reproduction and ecological balance on the global level. The definition of an agrarian question of food has emerged by the contribution of peasant movements too: control over production resources and peasant agriculture appear to be fundamental for food sovereignty and socio-ecological sustainability.
