*EN Ten years of Nyéléni - Much to Celebrate!*
<http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=152>
*The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online! *
A decade ago, the movements of peasants, fisherfolk, shepherds, women,
migrants, workers, young people, and indigenous peoples sowed a crucial
seed in the defence of Food Sovereignty and the right to food - the *Nyéléni
Newsletter*. During this ten year germination period, we have shared
challenges, experiences, reflections, and acts of unity. In recent times,
the COVID-19 pandemic has reaffirmed the fundamental role of those who feed
communities in a healthy, fair, and sustainable manner.
Alarmingly, we have also witnessed how extractive capitalism,
authoritarianism and agribusinesses have taken over land and territories
with total impunity, causing lives to be put at risk while governments
continue to enact policies, regulations, and laws that favour corporations
and industrial food systems.
*Despite this, there is still plenty to celebrate.* *This newsletter is a**
unique instrument of solidarity, exchange, training, and communication for
the organisations that are advocating for urgent reforms of the Industrial
Food System in favour of Food Sovereignty.(...)*

Sovereignty movement (in alphabetic order) :*
