*1) Update Peasants Rights Declaration: Petition needs your help!

As you can see, there is still a scope for further progress, if we want
to reach 30 000 signatures ... We chose to translate the petition in 13
different languages, it means that all these different countries need to
get on board! It makes a lot of sense to promote a collective European
petition. Let's make it a joint effort! Unfortunatley a petition doesn't
do the job on its own, it needs to be sent and sent again by e-mail with
a call to action to your members and partners. Only 10% of the people
who gets the e-mail will end up signing the petition...
You can use some of the material available here :

We also have examples for e-mails to be sent :

your precious help!

*2) Report - Nyéléni Pan-European Forum 2016
*
The 2nd Nyéléni Europe Forum for food sovereignty took place in
Cluj-Napoca, Romania between 26 - 30 October 2016. The Forum gathered
over 500 delegates from 43 countries,  from the Urals and Caucasus, and
from the Arctic to the Mediterranean, representing 290 civil society
organizations of peasants, fishers, pastoralists, indigenous people,
consumers, trade unions, environmental justice, solidarity, human rights
organizations, community-based food movements, journalists, and
researchers working for food sovereignty in Europe at different levels.
Also, representatives from countries outside Europe were present,
including Sierra Leone, Cambodia, Jordan, China, Zambia, Mali, Honduras,
Zimbabwe, Thailand, Canada, Brazil, Uruguay, Mongolia, Indonesia, and
Myanmar.

The aim of the forum was to share experiences, develop a common
understanding of food sovereignty, share ideas for powerful joint
actions, discuss strategies to relocalize Europe’s food systems, and
explore how to influence key policies in Europe. The gathering was an
important stepping stone for building a strong food sovereignty movement
in Europe, especially in Eastern Europe, as well as in several other
European countries where no food sovereignty platforms previously
existed. The forum was also a first step towards structuring the
European movement and giving it visibility through the planning of
shared actions. After the closure of the Forum from Romania, at the time
of writing this report, many Food Sovereignty platforms are emerging in
Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

*3) Farming Matters issue with Food Sovereignty stories from Europe
*

The latest issue of Farming Matters was produced in collaboration with
the Nyéléni Europe movement. There is a special section with Food
sovereignty stories from Europe. This issue of Farming Matters is about
food sovereignty. Food sovereignty is a self-organised, grassroots
response to today’s problematic food and farming system. Diverse people,
such as producers, consumers, peasants, migrant farm workers and urban
citizens, to name a few, are uniting around initiatives to regain
control over their food and natural resources. The experiences presented
here address interwoven issues related to production, processing, trade
and consumption of food. Together they highlight the value of tackling
policy at multiple levels while at the same time taking practice into
your own hands.
