Prevailing political and ethical approaches that have been used to both critique and propose alternatives to the existing food system are lacking. Although food security, food sovereignty, food justice, and food democracy all offer something important to our reflection on the global food system, none is adequate as an alternative to the status quo. This article analyses each in order to identify the prerequisites for such an alternative approach to food governance. These include a focus on goods like nutrition and health, equitable distribution, supporting livelihoods, environmental sustainability, and social justice. However, other goods, like the interests of non-human animals, are not presently represented. Moreover, incorporating all of these goods is incredibly demanding, and some are in tension. This raises the question of how each can be appropriately accommodated and balanced. The article proposes that this ought to be done through deliberative democratic processes that incorporate the interests of all relevant parties at the local, national, regional, and global levels. In other words, the article calls for adeliberativeapproach to thedemocratisationof food. It also proposes that one promising potential for incorporating the interests of all affected parties and addressing power imbalances lies in organising the scope and remit of deliberation aroundfood type.

食品民主化:审议方法的案例

缺乏用于批评和提出替代现有粮食系统的现行政治和道德方法。尽管粮食安全、粮食主权、粮食正义和粮食民主都为我们反思全球粮食系统提供了一些重要的东西,但没有什么可以替代现状。本文分析每一个,以确定这种替代食品治理方法的先决条件。其中包括关注营养和健康、公平分配、支持生计、环境可持续性和社会正义等商品。然而,其他商品,如非人类动物的利益,目前没有代表。此外,整合所有这些商品的要求非常高,有些还很紧张。这就提出了如何适当地容纳和平衡每个人的问题。文章建议,这应该通过考虑到地方、国家、区域和全球各级所有相关各方利益的协商民主进程来完成。换句话说,这篇文章呼吁深思熟虑的接近民主化的食物。它还提出,整合所有受影响方的利益和解决权力失衡的一个有希望的潜力在于组织审议的范围和职权范围食物类型。
