At a time when the media is sounding the alarm on high prices and shortages
due to the war in Europe, even if there is not always an exact correlation,
we are once again questioning the information that places large
corporations as the suppliers of most of our food. Anchored to this
fabricated image, the industrial agri-food system pushes a new assault on
agriculture with the digitalisation of its processes, promotes “carbon
sequestration” based on so-called “nature-based solutions”, continues its
drive to control and regulate supply chains to benefit its interests, and
even seeks to supplant the attempts of peasants in many parts of the world
by sponsoring an “agroecology” that is now promoted by the same
corporations and investment funds that for centuries have stripped peasants
of the possibilities of an independent agriculture.

We are therefore committed to defending our Food Sovereignty: the
possibility of being able to reproduce our seeds on our terms and in our
spaces, i.e., in full freedom, and to maintain our total independence in
producing our own food. For this, it will remain crucial to challenge land
grabbing and to insist on autonomy and on the defence of peasant and
Indigenous territories and even urban spaces of popular self-management
within neighbourhoods.
