APEX Book Launch| Experiences in People Led Development, Promoting Food Sovereignty and Agroecology in Asia
For civil society and development organizations, enabling ownership and sustainability are paramount, which raise several pertinent questions: how can people be at the centre and be the primary actors in determining their own change processes? How can development projects trigger and support local communities’ initiatives in addressing multiple issues, be it their environment, agriculture and economy, and political structures?
The Asian People’s Exchange for Food Sovereignty and Agroecology (APEX), offers insightful ways to approach these questions in development work through its newly launched book titled “Experiences in People Led Development, Promoting Food Sovereignty and Agroecology in Asia”. Officially launched last October 12, 2023, “Experiences in People Led Development, Promoting Food Sovereignty and Agroecology” is an outcome of an elaborate participatory process among APEX partners. Written as a compilation of stories of People Led Development (PLD) approach experienced by no less than the APEX partners and their partner communities in their respective countries, the book also serves as a manual for those who are interested in PLD approach.
Ultimately, “Experiences in People Led Development, Promoting Food Sovereignty and Agroecology” presents the stories and experiences in initiating and developing sovereign and sustainable initiatives in agriculture and food systems – asserting, claiming, and defending for their entitlements and rights as citizens, as caretakers of their land and other resources. People-led Development significantly anchors their work, development processes and action.
