When the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a Public
Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020, few
imagined the scale of the devastation that the disease would wreak
across the world, or for how long it would last. As COVID-19 swung from
country to country on its deadly course, it became clear that
governmental actions or inactions, and social-economic-political
contextswere as responsible as the virus for triggering impacts.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is far from abating: infections continue to spike
in numerous countries with the emergence of new, more contagious strains
of the SARS-COV-2 virus. The long awaited vaccines have started to be
rolled out but may well be out of reach for majority of the world for
several months or even years due to “vaccine apartheid.” Despite the
limited availability of vaccines due to the time needed for production
and testing, many wealthy nations have purchased sufficient vaccine
supplies to immunize their own populations at least twice, and are
backing monopolistic control over vaccines by pharmaceutical companies
through legally enforceable intellectual property rights in the World
Trade Organization.

 

This edition of the Nyéléni newsletter presents excerpts from some of
the documentation and research conducted by practitioners and advocates
of food sovereignty, particularly, /Voices from the ground, From
COVID-19 to radical transformation of our food systems/, prepared by the
Civil Society and Indigenous Peoples Mechanism to Committee on World
Food Security. Links to the full reports/papers are provided with each
excerpt.
