Our collective analysis has led to some important conclusions and recommendations regarding the achievement of food sovereignty in Africa. The AU-EU Partnership needs to give central importance to a shared vision and binding commitments to sustainable, diverse, and rights-based systemic approaches to African and European food systems. These must be rooted in democratic, human-rights based policy frameworks. They must respect the rights of small-scale producers and indigenous peoples, enshrined in the UNDROP (Peasant Rights Declaration) and UNDRIP (Indigenous Peoples Rights Declaration).

“Free range” and other higher welfare label claims are increasingly visible on Australian egg, pork and chicken meat products. This paper critically examines the way in which these claims have shifted animal welfare concerns from the “margins” of the animal advocacy movement to the “mainstream” of everyday consumer choice. It asks what has been lost and what gained as mainstream producers and retailers have adopted these label claims. The chapter argues that the growing market share of higher welfare labelled foods and the increasing public discussion and contestation of the meaning of terms such as “free range”, “free to roam” and “bred free range” does represent the success of animal advocacy campaigns aimed at activating mainstream consumers to express their concern about animal welfare. At the same time label claims also exhibit the creativity of industry and retailers in appropriating and accommodating civil society critiques of dominant production and distribution systems by narrowing down the range of contested issues, and sentimentalising, simplifying and de-radicalising potential solutions. This indicates a governance gap - a chasm between what can be achieved via voluntary certification and labelling and the need for a more inclusive, sustainable and official government regulation of animal welfare.

This chapter examines how the discourses surrounding veganism, and the public perceptions of those who follow vegan diets, are changing. It will argue that entertainment has played a central role in the growth of this dietary and culinary culture, has catalysed a significant shift in in the public perceptions of veganism, and fostered a heightened awareness of the broader implications of those dietary choices. Popular documentaries such as Cowspiracy, Forks Over Knives, and What the Health have catalysed attention to both the environmental and health benefits of vegan diets, and moved the focus away from the more traditional animal cruelty arguments, on which those aforementioned negative connotations were largely formed. Meanwhile, media producers and personalities like Rich Roll have also helped popularise plant-based diets in recent years, and helped to re-define the links between meat and masculinity. This chapter argues that this ‘vegan sphere’ requires further analysis to understand how it might be expanded and further popularised to facilitate continued bottom-up cultural change for positive environmental and public health outcomes.
