*Under the eye of Nyéléni, an African woman who defied discriminatory
regulations and burned with creativity and agricultural progress, we will
find the energy to transform the right to food sovereignty into a beacon
for the construction of another world.* Women’s declaration on food
sovereignty <https://nyeleni.org/spip.php?article310>

As the world lurches from one crisis to another, Nyéléni symbolizes the
convergence of our struggles and commitments to build a world free of
greed, hunger, exploitation, extractivism, misogyny, racism,
discrimination, and violence. Since 2007, Nyéléni has been a space where we
meet in order to build collective strategies to advance food sovereignty,
rights to land and territories, agroecology, and the rights of all
small-scale food providers. Our *articulations* have given us the strength
to organize against capitalism, neoliberalism, corporate power, patriarchy,
and ecocide.

Through the Nyéléni meetings in 2007, 2011 and 2015, the food sovereignty
movement created the basis for our future position in many global
negotiations. These events and the concepts born therein led to the
Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land,
Fisheries and Forests, the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable
Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty
Eradication, and the implementation of Farmers’ Rights in the context of
the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and
Agriculture.

But in the present global context, the food sovereignty movement cannot
make it alone. To dismantle agribusiness and corporate power, as well as
provide comprehensive responses to persisting systemic crises and the rise
of conservative right-wing forces, we need to converge with peoples'
organisations facing different forms of oppression and threats.
Collectively, we can propose true alternatives for all and advance social,
gender, racial, economic, intergenerational, and environmental justice. The
Nyéléni meetings are thus essential for building principles, concepts and
strategies shared and reinforced by many movements across different
sectors, while defending the most vulnerable at local levels.
