*EN Beyond land - Territory and Food Sovereignty*

*The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online! *
Land has always been a highly contested good. Control over land and related
resources reflect the power relations in a country/region, and are an
indicator of existing social injustices. At the same time, these resources
are central to the rights, livelihoods and identity of small-scale food
producers, and they have been at the heart of the food sovereignty movement
from its beginning.
This issue of the Nyéléni Newsletter is the second edition this year
dedicated to the theme of land. In a historical review, we look at how
land-related struggles have evolved over the past decades, starting with
demands for agrarian reform to a more comprehensive framing, which asserts
people’s and communities’ close and multi-faceted relationships to their
territories.
Despite persistent challenges to people’s struggle for land, this issue
celebrates important victories and features the ingeniousness of
communities around the world to assert their rights and manage their
territories. Social organizations are finding ways to include emerging
issues such as the challenges of climate change and digital technologies
into their struggles. In the light of aggressive digitalization,
financialization and authoritarianism, as well as an increasing overlapping
of agrarian and ecological questions, we point out the need for movements
to revive and refocus their strategies.
