Agricultural land plays an important role in national food sovereignty. Slovak lawmakers are trying to solve the problem with regard to access to food in the course of current legislative activities. So the concepts of food sovereignty as evaluation terms for land governance in Slovakia are preferred in spite of the fact that food security and right to food are more established. On the one hand, the concept of food security has not focused on access to food; rather, the central issue in international debates only concerns the amount of food that people are able to access. On the other hand, food sovereignty includes also the right of people to define their own food and agricultural systems. Moreover, food sovereignty is being incorporated into many official documents related to the human rights that are relevant despite their nonbinding nature. The current paper provides the analysis of the situation in agricultural land ownership after almost 11 years since Slovakia’s integration into the European Union and analyzes the current national legislation in order to point out the possible impact on the access to land and on food sovereignty of the country as well. The paper also points out the effectiveness of the legislative measures that should protect the land on the national level regarding the compatibility with the European Union law. |
