This year marks 25 years
since the paradigm of
food sovereignty was
launched at the World
Food Summit 1996 in Rome
as a direct challenge to
market-based food
security promoted
through the World Trade
Organisation (WTO).
Food sovereignty asserts
the autonomy and agency
of small-scale food
producers and workers in
the face of increasing
corporate power over the
entire realm of food.
Since its launch, the
food sovereignty
movement has grown,
diversified, and birthed
numerous initiatives to
address historical and
emerging injustices,
inequalities, rights
abuses, and oppressions.
Today, the movement is
at the cutting-edge of
real systemic change,
with millions of people
all over the world
engaged in and
supporting solidarity
economies, agroecology,
territorial markets,
cooperatives, the
defense of land and
territories, and the
rights of small-scale
food producers, workers,
migrants, indigenous
peoples, women and
people living in
protracted crises.<br>
<br>
Ironically, this year,
the United Nations will
convene a Food Systems
Summit (UNFSS) that is
the polar opposite of
food sovereignty. The
structure, content,
governance and outcomes
of the UNFSS are
dominated by actors
affiliated with the
World Economic Forum
(WEF), as well as
government and UN
officials who believe
that successfully
tackling hunger,
unemployment, climate
change and biodiversity
loss requires the
central involvement of
corporations since they
have capital,
technologies and
infrastructure that
surpass most nations and
the entire UN system. <br>
<br>
The coincidence of these
two moments clearly
shows fundamentally
opposing ideas about
food systems. The UNFSS
adopts a lens that
serves the interests of
the industrial,
globalized, corporate
controlled food system.
By deepening dependency
on corporate dominated
global value chains, and
capital-intensive and
market mechanisms, this
approach sidelines human
rights and impedes real
transformation of food
systems. Food
sovereignty, on the
other hand, tackles root
causes of hunger and
malnutrition, emphasizes
democratic control over
food systems, confronts
power asymmetries and
calls for radical
economic, social and
governance changes to
build just, equal,
territorially rooted
food systems that are in
harmony with nature,
revitalize biodiversity,
and ensure the rights of
people and communities. <br>
<br>
Corporations are using
their considerable
resources to co-opt the
conceptualization and
governance of food
systems through
financing, trade,
investment, and
multi-stakeholder
platforms. The UNFSS is
a dangerously perfect
example of corporate
designed
multistakeholderism,
where corporations can
influence public
decision making at the
highest level but make
no public interest
commitments themselves.
The UNFSS process has
been characterized by a
lack of transparency in
decision-making and
strong involvement of
corporations in all
parts of its structure,
posing serious problems
of accountability,
legitimacy, and
democratic control of
the UN.<br>
<br>
Over the past year we
have demonstrated our
ability to mobilize
across multiple
constituencies around
the world against the
corporate capture of
food and for food
sovereignty. We have
succeeded in challenging
the legitimacy of the
Summit and prevented
formal agreement to the
creation of new
institutions, such as a
panel of experts on food
systems. The <i>Counter-Mobilization
to Transform Food
Systems</i> organized
from July 25-28 reached
almost 11,000 people
world-wide.<br>
<br>
Food is a basic need and
a human right: food
systems provide
livelihoods for nearly a
third of humanity and
are intimately connected
to health and
ecosystems. We need,
therefore, to continue
strengthening the
convergence of food,
health, environmental
and climate justice
movements, and continue
to rise up against
corporate food systems
that are destroying our
planet and our
communities.<br>
