Food Sovereignty - Paperback

by Cathy Smith (Author)

In the midst of a global pandemic and a world on lockdown, Akweks Pine, a Haudenosaunee Seedkeeper from Earth, finds himself stranded in imperial space after traveling to dispute the illegal extraction of his family's heirloom seeds by the powerful Agristar corporation. Stranded far from home, he uses his knowledge of traditional practices and the newfound wealth from a Freetrader windfall to revive ancient ceremonies and create innovative solutions, like biofuel from craft beer and sustainable food systems that bridge cultures. As he shares his seeds and wisdom with First Nations communities across the stars, alliances form, and a quiet revolution of food sovereignty begins. Amidst corporate sabotage and political intrigue, Akweks's journey becomes a story of resilience, unity, and the enduring power of cultural heritage in uncertain times.
