The current international trade order was established to support the
expansion of transnational companies and to keep colonial powers in control
of the world’s natural resources.
The World Trade Organization, the IMF, the World Bank, and free-trade
agreements have been used to dismantle national policies that ensured
people’s sovereignty over national resources and local markets. For this
reason, this edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter analyzes the impact of the
current global trade system on national policies, particularly those that
ensure fair prices for food producers and consumers.
We are striving to rebuild food sovereignty, which means changing the
global trade system and allowing countries to develop policies that ensure
a decent livelihood for all people, particularly small-scale food
producers. Minimum support prices, public stock-holdings, supply
management, public food procurement, and so forth: there are plenty of
inspiring examples of public policies that ensure a fair income for rural
people, guaranteeing that how our food systems are organized is a
democratic discussion and not left to the ‘markets’.
This edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter calls for an end to the exploitative
model of capital expansion through free trade agreements. We explore the
urgent need to break the hegemony of free trade and build an alternative
that upholds solidarity and internationalism, and respects the diversity,
autonomy, and food sovereignty of nations and communities.
