Food sovereignty asserts the right of people to define their own food systems. That right extends beyond seeds and land — it includes the technologies, knowledge systems, and innovation processes that shape how food is grown, shared, and governed. Yet the infrastructure built to support agricultural innovation today is largely designed for extraction: data flows out, value flows up, and communities are enrolled as contributors to processes they don't govern and outputs they don't own.

Around the world, farmer networks, technologists, funders, and civil society organizers are already building alternatives — open-source tools, commons-based knowledge sharing, participatory design, new models of governance and finance. But these efforts often run in parallel, connected by shared values yet separated by geography, sector, and language.

Through a series of roundtables, community activations, an interactive web experience, and a state of the field paper, this project surfaces the patterns and enabling relational, structural, and technical systems that could help these efforts find each other, strengthen each other, and last.
