In 2007 the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC)
played a vital role in uniting small-scale food producers and their allies
to establish a shared vision of food sovereignty and implement strategies
to make it a reality. Over time, a robust global movement for food
sovereignty emerged, gaining significant political recognition. Together,
we have achieved the democratization of global food and agricultural
arenas, including the reform of the Committee on World Food Security. Our
struggles also influenced food sovereignty policies in various national
contexts and successfully secured political acknowledgment of peasants as
rights holders through the ratification of the UN Declaration on the Rights
of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas.
However, our achievements are now under threat due to an extended period of
systemic crises. Right-wing forces, authoritarian regimes, and the
corporate capture of democratic governance spaces are on the rise globally,
accompanied by the dismantling of the United Nations multilateral system.
Human rights violations against peasant and Indigenous communities, along
with climate change, biodiversity loss, armed conflicts, and hunger, are
escalating rapidly. Furthermore, renewed threats to food sovereignty come
from new business configurations, in which hedge fund speculation firms and
digital technology titans join forces to oil the wheels of the failing
agro-industrial production system.
In this context, the IPC advocates for a new global Nyéléni process,
leading up to the next Nyéléni Global Forum in India in 2025. Recognizing
the power of people's movements, we aim to strengthen solidarity and unity
by bridging local and global struggles. We are striving to adopt an
intersectional perspective to address the multi-dimensional global crisis
effectively.
By collaborating with climate justice, workers' rights, feminist,
solidarity economy, anti-war, youth, and other movements, we seek to resist
the corporate takeover of governance spaces, safeguard human and collective
rights worldwide, protect ecosystems, and secure a dignified life on Earth
for present and future generations.
