*The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online! *
In 2018 the United Nations (UN) adopted the Declaration on the Rights of
Peasants, recognising at the highest level of international governance the
strategic role played by the peasants of the world.(...) The Declaration
highlights the role of peasant seeds in achieving Food Sovereignty, and in
developing agrarian policies which favour peasant farmers.
(...) It is vital to guarantee the right of peoples to "*Maintain, control,
protect and develop their own seeds and traditional knowledge”. *(...) In
this edition of the newsletter we are inviting you to return to the debate
on *Peasant seeds, the heart of the struggle for Food Sovereignty*, which
guarantee full Peasant Rights. We are sharing a series of articles which
seek to raise awareness and improve organisation for Peasant Seeds in all
territories, and providing information about how to join the "Adopt a Seed"
action. You will also find testimonies of the actions of resistance people
are engaged in to keep peasant seeds in the hands of those who feed
populations in a fair and healthy way.
