Basic food income is a universal payment by the state unconditionally to each member of society with an amount sufficient to cover elementary food needs.

The current international system is forcing the adjustment of every society to adapt the global market and to its dominant logic; it is barring all paths to social transformation. The search for alternatives to the transformation of every society requires another international system. |
