Abstract

In recent years, the word sovereignism/sovereignty has entered both the political and common lexicon with meanings linked to a particular rightwing nationalism. Meloni (far right) inaugurates the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty, and Forestry, appropriating (and deforming) an expression that originated in a very different context. It emerged in South America as a result of local struggles against the excessive power of multinational agri-food corporations. As such, it is connected to the defence of civil rights, particularly the right to produce one's own food and seeds and escape blackmail and dependence on large corporations.
