In total we gathered 6763 signatures so far! To keep you updated
on the last figures, regarding our Petition on Peasants Rights :
Austria 1460, Belgium 1201, Bulgaria 43, Czech Rep 4, Denmark 5,
France 552, Germany 506, Greece 41, Hungary 58, Ireland 25, Italy
219, Netherlands 128, Norway 12, Poland 37, Portugal 126, Romania
1125, Slovakia 16, Slovenia 3, Spain 145, Sweden 159, Switzerland
178, UK 160, Others 560<br>
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...<br>

<b><font size="+2">2) Report - Nyéléni Pan-European Forum 2016</font><br>

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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>

<font size="+2"><b>3) Farming Matters issue with Food Sovereignty
stories from Europe<br>

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.<br>
