*The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online! *
The crisis in the industrial food system is impossible to ignore. For over
a decade, study after study has validated the assertion of the Food
Sovereignty movement in 2007 - that the corporate food system destroys life.
Now Governments are anxious to find ‘innovations’ in agriculture that can
overcome this. They are hoping to be saved by a new Green Revolution(…).
On the other hand Agroecology within the framework of Food Sovereignty is
also gaining widespread recognition and is increasingly being promoted as an
approach to transform agriculture and food systems and address the
challenges we face. The Food Sovereignty movement is exposing how the
discourse on innovation is actually a way to depoliticise the debate on what
a new food system should look like – by not setting any criteria on what
innovation must deliver on. In this way Agroecology is put together with
GMOs, new gene breeding technologies, ‘climate-smart agriculture’ and
‘sustainable intensification’. (…)
In this edition, we look at the elements of Agroecology as defined by small
scale food producers that make it the only real innovation to transform our
food and farming.
