*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* *Nyéléni international launches new website!* <http://www.nyeleni.org> 30th June 2022 – Nyéléni, the International Food Sovereignty movement has launched its new website (nyeleni.org <https://nyeleni.org/en/homepage/>) today to ensure easier accessibility and visibility to all the material and documents produced over more than 15 years of struggles and building the movement for Food Sovereignty. *“ We are extremely thrilled about this new website. We are quite certain that it will be a key resource for all the people and organisations already involved in the struggle for Food Sovereignty or for all the ones who are looking for more information on this topic.”* Said Shalmali Guttal, member of the Nyéléni newsletter Editorial Board for Focus on the Global South. The website, accessible in English, Spanish and French, is now more user-friendly, mobile-compatible and it has a better search engine. The content has also been organised in three main sections: - *The International Food Sovereignty movement and newsletter.* This section introduces the movement and the newsletter, as well as all the organisations involved. It also links to a collection of key documents and publications divided by theme (such as Food Sovereignty, Land, Fishery, etc. These compendiums will continue to be updated with new documents and material. - *The Nye**léni **newsletter.* This section includes all the newsletter editions published until now. The newsletter is the only common publication of the organisations and movements implicated in the international struggle for Food Sovereignty, which makes it unique. Over the last 10 years more than forty editions on a variety of topics have been regularly published (such as land and territory, seeds, migration and farm workers, ocean grabbing, digitalization, agroecology, FTAs, corporate governance, nutrition, authoritarianism, climate change, and many more…). The newsletter offers important informative and educational material on complex issues and provides a unique space for grassroots organisations to share their experiences and learn from each other. - *The Nyéléni forums for Food Sovereignty.* On one hand this section includes all the documents produced during the Forum which took place in Mali in 2007: from the material generated during the long preparation process before the event, to the media coverage and the final reports. On the other there is a link to the new Nyéléni process which is taking place at the moment and will finalise with a new Global Forum of Food Sovereignty in the upcoming years. *“We are delighted by this new website. We think that it will improve the visibility of the international Nyéléni movement. We also believe that it will help the Nyéléni newsletter to reach a larger audience while continuing to benefit all the grassroots movements involved worldwide in the struggle for Food Sovereignty. We hope you will join us in this effort to make the voice of the international Food Sovereignty movement heard!”* Said Nadine Nembhard, member of the Nyéléni newsletter Editorial Board for the World Forum of Fisher People. *Website *- The web address hasn't changed, have a look! nyeleni.org <https://nyeleni.org/es/bienvenido-al-sitio-web-del-boletin-de-nyeleni/> [image: Twitter] <http://www.twitter.com/infonyeleni> [image: Facebook] <https://www.facebook.com/NyeleniNewsletter> [image: Website] <https://nyeleni.org/>

[Nyéléni]Nyéléni process: Towards a Global Forum for Food Sovereignty

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* *Nyéléni process* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=177>*: Towards a Global Forum for Food Sovereignty* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=177> *The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is online! * *Illustration: Rosanna Morris <https://rosannamorris.com/>* *Under the eye of Nyéléni, an African woman who defied discriminatory regulations and burned with creativity and agricultural progress, we will find the energy to transform the right to food sovereignty into a beacon for the construction of another world.* Women’s declaration on food sovereignty <https://nyeleni.org/spip.php?article310> As the world lurches from one crisis to another, Nyéléni symbolizes the convergence of our struggles and commitments to build a world free of greed, hunger, exploitation, extractivism, misogyny, racism, discrimination, and violence. Since 2007, Nyéléni has been a space where we meet in order to build collective strategies to advance food sovereignty, rights to land and territories, agroecology, and the rights of all small-scale food providers. Our *articulations* have given us the strength to organize against capitalism, neoliberalism, corporate power, patriarchy, and ecocide. Through the Nyéléni meetings in 2007, 2011 and 2015, the food sovereignty movement created the basis for our future position in many global negotiations. These events and the concepts born therein led to the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests, the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication, and the implementation of Farmers’ Rights in the context of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. But in the present global context, the food sovereignty movement cannot make it alone. To dismantle agribusiness and corporate power, as well as provide comprehensive responses to persisting systemic crises and the rise of conservative right-wing forces, we need to converge with peoples' organisations facing different forms of oppression and threats. Collectively, we can propose true alternatives for all and advance social, gender, racial, economic, intergenerational, and environmental justice. The Nyéléni meetings are thus essential for building principles, concepts and strategies shared and reinforced by many movements across different sectors, while defending the most vulnerable at local levels. *IPC for Food Sovereignty, Focus on the Global South, Friends of the Earth International, Crocevia *and* FIAN* *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=177> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org <https://nyeleni.org/> !
