*FOOD SOVEREIGNTY NEWSLETTER*
Banner-Header.png
*Welcome to the NEW Newsletter!*
/Welcome to the first edition of the Nyéléni Europe newsletter since
2013! The newsletter will serve as a tool to keep you updated on the
process leading up to the 2nd European Forum on Food Sovereignty that
will take place from the 26th to the 30th of October 2016 in Cluj
Napoca, Romania, and inform you about the follow-up activities of the
food sovereignty movement after the Forum./
The coordination committee for the Forum is made up members of Eco
Ruralis Association, ÖBV-Via Campesina Austria, European Coordination
Via Campesina, World Forum of Fisher People, The Resource Center for
Indigenous People, Urgenci Community Supported Agriculture Network, The
Biological Farming Association Elkana, Friends of the Earth Europe, FIAN
European Sections, European Attac Network, Transnational Institute
(TNI), and the European Shepherds’ Network. We are happy to welcome you
to this newsletter and are looking forward to your active involvement in
the process in the run up to the forum as well as in the intense moments
of our meeting in Romania!
The location of the forum will be EXPO Transylvania

Cluj-Napoca.**Cluj-Napoca, home to 340,000 people, is the second-largest
city in Romania after Bucharest, and is located in the heart of the
historical and multicultural province of Transylvania, famous for its
peasant agriculture and landscape.
Since the beginning of the year, local peasant families have been
engaged in producing vegetables, dairy, meat, honey and many more
products based on the rich and diverse traditional food system of
Romania. The participants of the forum will enjoy peasant food that will
be cooked directly at the forum, and which will respect food sovereignty
principles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*How to participate in the Forum in Cluj and how to organize national
processes*
If you want to join the 2nd Nyéléni Europe Forum in Cluj in October
2016, then get engaged in your national preparatory process by getting
in touch with your focal point. Focal points are the contact people per
country (or a region) who are in touch with the Nyéléni Europe Forum
Coordination Committee.
Delegation-building processes in each country will differ depending on
the level of organisation of the food sovereignty movement. We recommend
holding preparatory meetings and discussions locally or nationally.
These will feed into the content of the Forum itself, define the
delegates for the forum and also help to build stronger working links
for the future. Part of the preparatory process is also organising
fundraising at national level – for the travel of delegates, the
delegation fee and the follow up process if possible*. *
*This is the list with focal points per country identified so far
<https://cts.vrmailer1.com/click?sk=aB5YB2JgSjBLX-ANQAO0F5LLICQgyhaV2b72KUsGDbMs=/aHR0cHM6Ly9kcml2ZS5nb29nbGUuY29tL2ZpbGUvZC8wQjdubjZ5ZHVReHJQWjFKMFlYWXdWVkExTkZVL3ZpZXc=/Vx4FBgKPOgsLcxmMm7cJRg==&merge_field_type=%28?x-mi:%28?%3C=href=%29[%5Cs]*[%27%22]%28?%3Curl%3E[%5E%7B%27%22].+?%29[%27%22]%29>.** *
*The size of delegations will vary from country to country.*It will
depend on the population of the country, but also on other criteria like
the involvement of different constituencies, and the number of topics
dealt with in the country. Each country will however be able to bring a
minimum of 10 and a maximum of 30 people to the forum. In order to
ensure that the delegations are representative, a quota system should be
taken into account when defining delegates, so that 1/3 of delegates
represent youth, 1/3 food producers and the delegation is gender balanced.
*More information about participation and the preparatory process on a
country level can be found in the guidelines for focal points*
<https://cts.vrmailer1.com/click?sk=aB5YB2JgSjBLX-ANQAO0F5LLICQgyhaV2b72KUsGDbMs=/aHR0cHM6Ly9kcml2ZS5nb29nbGUuY29tL2ZpbGUvZC8wQjdubjZ5ZHVReHJQVGpKTGFVeFNSVkpYUkVrL3ZpZXc=/0hMzSx4GzV43-BdrItTx9A==&merge_field_type=%28?x-mi:%28?%3C=href=%29[%5Cs]*[%27%22]%28?%3Curl%3E[%5E%7B%27%22].+?%29[%27%22]%29>.
*National processes have already started in some countries. *The Nyéléni
Food Sovereignty Movement in *Austria *held a first discussion about
Cluj in Graz in May and noted down the interest of potential delegates.
A small group was formed to collect and connect all interested
delegates, and which was tasked with putting together a balanced
delegation representing all relevant constituencies and thematic axes.
There will be another public meeting in September to further discuss the
pressing issues and ideas the delegates should take with them on their
way to Cluj.
In the *Netherlands*, the preparatory process for the Nyéléni Forum was
launched at the ‘Voedsel Anders/Food Otherwise’ conference in Wageningen
in February, focusing on the exchange of experiences and strategies for
food sovereignty between small farmers, fisherfolk, and pastoralists.
These discussions were deepened during a meeting convened by the
national focal points in Utrecht in May in which feedback on the Nyéléni
Political Declaration and Plan of Action was solicited, guiding
questions on key food sovereignty issues were discussed, and a
collective mapping exercise was conducted on all the relevant actors to
be contacted in the lead-up to the Forum.
A third event, dedicated to outreach of the Nyéléni movement in the
Netherlands, was organised during an on-farm food sovereignty training
weekend near Leiden in June. Two further events – one before and one
after the summer – are still anticipated to finalise the delegation that
will go to the Forum, keeping in mind the need to find a balance between
the practical organisation of the national delegation for the Forum and
the more organic and longer-term process of building up and giving life
to the food sovereignty movement.
In *Romania*, Eco Ruralis and its partners launched a national
consultation process in April , aiming at building a national strategy
for the future of agriculture and food sovereignty. Three public
consultations already took place in Bucharest (24th of April),
Cluj-Napoca (11th of June) and Lași (25th of June), mobilizing peasants,
urban gardeners, consumers, and members of NGOs and universities from
across the country. The right to land, the right to seeds and the right
to market were discussed, alongside discussions around experience
sharing, common problems that are faced, and opinions about the future
of agriculture. Each event included a distribution of traditional
peasant seeds. In the next months, events will continue in Timișoara
(July), the village of Sâncraiu (August) and the last one in the village
of Hosman in September, when the resulting peasant vision for the future
of agriculture will be presented.

*Help us prepare the forum*
In order to organise the forum, different working groups have been set
up. Those are open to everyone and we invite you to give us a hand and
make sure we make the forum a successful and unique experience for everyone.
The *Communications *Working Group has been busy developing a media
communication plan, creating a new website, setting up internal and
external communication channels, preparing regular newsletters, and
feeding in relevant information leading to the Forum on social media.

The *Methodology *Working Group**is mainly working on the agenda for the
forum and ensuring that it reflects the objectives we want to achieve
collectively. We try to strike a balance between creating an exciting
and inspiring space to share our own experiences and celebrate our
diversity, as well as also having time to reflect on our common
strengths and create long-lasting powerful actions to challenge the
dominant industrial food and agriculture system.
We a preparing a questionnaire for you to reflect on your experiences
over the last five years which will be used to help lead our discussions.
The *Finances *Working Group**is one of the most important groups
preparing the forum. We have been busy contacting several funders to
cover the basic needs for the organisation of the forum. Any ideas of
potential funders we could approach are very welcome!
The *Logistics*Working Group is busy preparing the ground for a
successful meeting. We have booked a the huge Expo Transilvania venue
for the forum, have regular exchanges with the farmers and shops which
will be delivering the food for the forum and work with a team of
interpreters who will make sure that we all understand each other.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Cluj, but just in case you can
help out, please give us a shout!

*Nyéléni Europe participation at FAO consultation with Civil Society and
FAO Regional Conference*
57 organisations, mainly social movements, from all over Europe and
Central Asia came together in Antalya, Turkey for the FAO European and
Central Asian Consultation with civil society at the beginning of May.
All constituencies were represented (farmers, fisherfolk, pastoralists,
indigenous peoples, consumers, workers, NGOs, women and youth, as well
as the three regions of Eastern and Western Europe and Central Asia).
Most of these groups are already members of the Nyéléni process that was
specifically represented by Jyoti Fernandes of the Land Workers
Alliance. We made a considerable collective contribution to the input
for the region and to the Declaration
<https://cts.vrmailer1.com/click?sk=aB5YB2JgSjBLX-ANQAO0F5LLICQgyhaV2b72KUsGDbMs=/aHR0cDovLzIwMTYuY3NvY29uc3VsdGF0aW9uLm9yZy8=/syicDmKpawjTRxRDToBQqQ==&merge_field_type=%28?x-mi:%28?%3C=href=%29[%5Cs]*[%27%22]%28?%3Curl%3E[%5E%7B%27%22].+?%29[%27%22]%29>.
One important new dimension is the creation of a Facilitation Committee
to work with the regional FAO and country offices. This will be a very
important new innovation: it will help us to take the Nyéléni process
down to the country level, as well as ensuring that the FAO regional
office and country offices support the priorities of civil society.
Immediately after the consultation with civil society, the FAO Regional
Conference took place. Several members of civil society as well as the
four designated spokespeople from the consultation participated.
On the final day, we met with the FAO Director General, Graziano da
Silva. He expressed his concern for both the current refugee crisis and
climate change as priorities in terms of food security. We again made
the points contained in the Declaration on an agreed basis. We also
invited him to the Cluj-Napoca Nyéléni meeting in October.
