Plurinational and Intercultural Conference on Food Sovereignty (COPISA)
The Plurinational and Intercultural Conference on Food Sovereignty (Span. COPISA) is a national council of citizen participation, established by the Law of Food Sovereignty in May 2009. It is composed of eight civil society representatives, selected by merit through a contest organized by the Council of Citizen Participation and Social Control. In addition, its internal structure is organized from thematic subgroups responsible for a specific theme. This body has the task of promoting a process of dialogue with civil society, to promote research on the issue of food sovereignty and propose policies and approaches for the State in this area.
