This dissertation aims to analyze how
colonial narratives have influenced
contemporary understandings of
sustainability and food security in the
Philippines and to explore pathways
towards decolonization. Drawing on
theories of discourse analysis,
colonialism, and food systems, the study
seeks to address the following key
research questions: (1) How have
colonial narratives shaped discourse
surrounding sustainability and food
security in the Philippines? (2) What are
the contemporary implications of colonial
narratives on the sustainability and food
security of the Philippines? (3) How can
decolonizing policies and strategies
challenge and transform colonial
narratives to promote more equitable
and sustainable food systems in the
Philippines? The dissertation will employ
discourse analysis to examine texts,
speeches, policies, media representations,
and other discursive artifacts related to
sustainability and food security in the
Philippines. By critically analyzing the
language, narratives, and power
dynamics embedded within these
discourses, the study aims to uncover the
ways in which colonialism continues to
influence contemporary understandings
of sustainability and food security, and to
2
identify pathways towards
decolonization and transformative
change in Philippine food systems.
