The movement has been growing and gaining momentum, advocating at all levels for collective rights, human rights and food sovereignty. However, much remains to be done. The world is in unprecedented turmoil, and we are all facing deep-rooted overlapping crises. We need a paradigm shift to reclaim the right to shape our own food systems for the well-being of people and the planet. That is why we are calling for a new mobilization within and beyond the food sovereignty movement, to build our response at both global and local levels, and tighten alliances with climate justice, antiracism, health, labour, feminist, and social and solidarity economy movements and organisations. Systemic transformation is now or never. [...]The Nyéléni Global Forum, to be held in 2025 in India, will be the space for strategy and organization, and to kick off this new phase of the food sovereignty movement. *IPC for food Sovereignty* *Click here to download the English edition (pdf)* <https://nyeleni.org/DOWNLOADS/newsletters/Nyeleni_Newsletter_Num_58_EN.pdf> or read it directly in the website <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…>!

A new framework for trade, new edition of Nyéléni

The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is online! *A new framework for trade based on food sovereignty* <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…> <https://us5.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnyeleni.org%2Fen%2F…> *The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is online! * *Illustration: *Marcia Miranda 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. *La Via Campesina, ETC Group, Transnational Institute* *Click here to download the English edition (pdf)* <https://nyeleni.org/DOWNLOADS/newsletters/Nyeleni_Newsletter_Num_57_EN.pdf> or read it directly on the website - here <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…>!

The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is online! *|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* *Challenging the financing behind green and blue grabbing* <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…> <https://us5.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnyeleni.org%2Fen%2F…> *The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is online! * *Illustration: *Luisa Rivera, www.luisarivera.cl Mobilising large quantities of private finance to replace the lack of public finance is fast becoming a new goal in discussions on climate and biodiversity financing. But this push means that the commodification and financialization of nature is reaching alarming levels, causing a new territorial grab and undermining environmental justice. "Green economy” mechanisms like carbon credits, biodiversity offset markets, and debt-for-nature swaps are not only misguided but perilous. This edition explores some of the varied and bewildering array of new schemes that financialise oceans, soils, seaweed, and forests. A fundamental flaw lies in the approach that prioritizes profit over genuine environmental stewardship and returns for investors, often at the expense of local communities. These mechanisms frequently lead to the dispossession of Indigenous Peoples and small-scale producers, who are forced off their lands and seas to make way for lucrative conservation projects. The promised benefits of these financial schemes rarely reach those who bear the brunt of their impacts. The testimonies here clearly show that the movements of Indigenous Peoples, fishers and peasants are fighting back across the different UN platforms and in their own territories. Our movements are demanding public funding for climate and biodiversity, debt cancellation, reparations, respect for the rights and knowledge of Indigenous Peoples and other communities, and genuine accountability and regulation of the corporations that have long profited from environmental exploitation. We know the curtain has been pulled back on the fantasy of neoliberal ideology, its failures exposed. So, we collectively fight its proliferation into nature and our territories. *Friends of the Earth International, ETC Group, Transnational Institute* *Click here to download the English edition (pdf)* <https://nyeleni.org/DOWNLOADS/newsletters/Nyeleni_Newsletter_Num_56_EN.pdf> or read it directly on the website <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…>!

New edition of the Nyéléni newsletter *** *|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* *Ultra-processed food, a "corporate diet"* <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…> <https://us5.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnyeleni.org%2Fen%2F…> *The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is online! * *Illustration: *Nikau Hindin, Obesity and Junk Food, 2009, @nikaugabrielle <https://www.instagram.com/nikaugabrielle/?hl=en> The past 60 years have seen an exponential rise in the production and consumption of ultra-processed ‘food’–or rather, edible–products (UPP), such as packaged crisps, biscuits, sweetened beverages, and ready-to-eat meals. Driven by an expansion of the industrial food system, including global sourcing and retail structures, and corporate concentration and power within this system, UPP are replacing fresh and minimally processed foods and home-cooked meals in our diets. Dietary patterns are becoming increasingly homogenized and culinary traditions are disappearing. This shift started in high income countries and has now reached all countries, in some making up over 50 percent of what people eat. This edition of the Nyéléni newsletter explores how the ‘corporate diet’ based on UPP is being imposed in different regions of the world and what this means for people’s health and food sovereignty. It further provides examples of resistance, from the recovery of traditional crops to the struggle for effective regulatory measures. What is clear is that to reclaim sovereignty over our plates we must look beyond our plates and reshape the food system as a whole. *FIAN International *and* AFSA* *Click here to download the English edition (pdf)* <https://nyeleni.org/DOWNLOADS/newsletters/Nyeleni_Newsletter_Num_55_EN.pdf> or read it directly on the website <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…>!

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* *How multilateral and other international platforms affect food sovereignty* <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…> <https://us5.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnyeleni.org%2Fen%2F…> *The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is online! * *Illustration: Andrea Medina for ETC Group facebook.com/andreammedinagraphic/ <http://facebook.com/andreammedinagraphic/>* For many governments and policy makers, food has come to be viewed as a commodity rather than a right. Global food governance increasingly serves corporate interests through market- and business-friendly agreements which are normalised in a wide range of multilateral institutions. People's livelihoods and nature are being traded away via economic and financial deals that benefit corporations and elites in different sectors and countries, but threaten the conditions necessary for peoples’ food sovereignty. This threat is now being compounded by corporate techno-fix approaches to climate change and biodiversity crises. In this issue of the Nyéléni newsletter*,* we describe how trends in multilateral and other international platforms are impacting food sovereignty in ways that will be decisive for the future of food and peoples' self-determination. We unpack the different processes in which unfair exchanges are being perpetuated and opaque concepts promoted. As trade and investment fora continue to advance industrial food systems and global supply chains, the proliferation of so-called ‘Nature-based Solutions’ (NBS) is masking new ways of commodifying nature, territories and livelihoods. By assigning land, soil, water, forests and biodiversity the impossible task of making up for the pollution caused by industries elsewhere in exchange for monetary remuneration, a new front of commons enclosure is opening up, which is being enabled, measured and monitored through new technologies. Corporate capture of political and economic agendas is a common factor in all these scenarios; spreading out and embedding in multilateral institutions through multistakeholderism. A glaring example of this is the 2021 Food Systems Summit and the subsequent establishment of a UN Food Systems Coordination Hub, which seeks to hijack the ongoing food governance conversation. A further example is the discussion on Data for Food Security and Nutrition in the Committee on World Food Security (CFS), driven by none other than the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It is clear that we need to collectively mobilise and resist on an even larger and more coordinated scale than ever before to challenge and reverse these trends across a range of multilateral and other ‘negotiating’ arenas. *ETC Group, FIAN International, Focus on the Global South* *Click here to download the English edition (pdf)* <https://nyeleni.org/DOWNLOADS/newsletters/Nyeleni_Newsletter_Num_54_EN.pdf> or read it directly on the website <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…>!

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* *Emerging diseases and factory farming * <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…> *The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is online! * *Illustration: * Rini Templeton www.riniart.com *What makes food safe?* Within the industrial food system, “safety” is all about managing the high risks created by this model of food production. Food is produced on monoculture fields or factory farms, with uniform breeds of plants and animals that are highly vulnerable to pests and diseases. In this context, diseases can grow or mutate into more lethal forms, and, in the case of animals, transfer to humans and spread through corporate supply chains. To deal with their vulnerabilities, crops are genetically modified or doused with toxic pesticides, and animals are fed antibiotics and drugs, creating more health dangers. Then much of the food gets highly processed and sold through supermarkets, causing harms like diabetes and cancer. More and more regulations and standards are imposed by governments and corporations to deal with these risks. But they typically only curtail the most serious excesses, without threatening corporate profits, and are alien to food systems based on traditional animal husbandry, markets and agroecology, where risks are low because of diversity, local knowledge, trust and small scale circuits. Those regulations have become a tool to expand corporate control and undermine the healthy food systems that continue to feed the majority of the world's people and that are the only real solution to the harms of the industrial food system. *GRAIN* *Click here to download the English edition (pdf)* <https://nyeleni.org/DOWNLOADS/newsletters/Nyeleni_Newsletter_Num_53_EN.pdf> or read it directly in the website <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…>!

Nyéléni process: Recognizing the power of people's movements

*Nyéléni process: Recognizing the power of people's movements* <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…> *The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is online! * *Illustration: * Andrés Mateo Ayala Luna @calma_88 <https://www.instagram.com/calma_88/?hl=en> In 2007 the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC) played a vital role in uniting small-scale food producers and their allies to establish a shared vision of food sovereignty and implement strategies to make it a reality. Over time, a robust global movement for food sovereignty emerged, gaining significant political recognition. Together, we have achieved the democratization of global food and agricultural arenas, including the reform of the Committee on World Food Security. Our struggles also influenced food sovereignty policies in various national contexts and successfully secured political acknowledgment of peasants as rights holders through the ratification of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas. However, our achievements are now under threat due to an extended period of systemic crises. Right-wing forces, authoritarian regimes, and the corporate capture of democratic governance spaces are on the rise globally, accompanied by the dismantling of the United Nations multilateral system. Human rights violations against peasant and Indigenous communities, along with climate change, biodiversity loss, armed conflicts, and hunger, are escalating rapidly. Furthermore, renewed threats to food sovereignty come from new business configurations, in which hedge fund speculation firms and digital technology titans join forces to oil the wheels of the failing agro-industrial production system. In this context, the IPC advocates for a new global Nyéléni process, leading up to the next Nyéléni Global Forum in India in 2025. Recognizing the power of people's movements, we aim to strengthen solidarity and unity by bridging local and global struggles. We are striving to adopt an intersectional perspective to address the multi-dimensional global crisis effectively. By collaborating with climate justice, workers' rights, feminist, solidarity economy, anti-war, youth, and other movements, we seek to resist the corporate takeover of governance spaces, safeguard human and collective rights worldwide, protect ecosystems, and secure a dignified life on Earth for present and future generations. *IPC for food sovereignty, Friends of the Earth International, La Via Campesina, Transnational Institute* *Click here to download the English edition (pdf)* <https://nyeleni.org/DOWNLOADS/newsletters/Nyeleni_Newsletter_Num_52_EN.pdf> or read it directly in the website <https://nyeleni.org/en/category/newsletters-nyeleni-in-english/newsletter-n…>!

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* *Youth and the democratization of food systems* <https://us5.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnyeleni.org%2FDOWNL…> *The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is online! * *Illustration: *Sophie Holin for La Via Campesina, Instagram: @soph.ieholin <https://us5.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2…> It's December. Yet another year in our cycle of life is drawing to a close as we search for hope and solidarity in the face of daunting adversities. The world is marred by rising temperatures, erratic weather events, extreme poverty, hunger, wars, conflicts and violence. A systemic model that placed the interests and profits of the few over those of the many has created this catastrophe. The global industrial food system is a case in point—it is among the largest polluters on the planet. It uses nearly two-thirds of the world’s resources but can only feed a quarter of the world's population, leaving behind a trail of destructive and polluting practices along its supply chain. In contrast, peasant agriculture, which still feeds 70% of the global population, sustains harmonious and healthy cycles of food production, distribution and consumption. It's high time we reminded global food governance institutions and governments that the real solutions to the global food crisis lie in giving peasant communities, Indigenous Peoples, migrant workers, landworkers, small-scale fishers and pastoralists the power and the autonomy to build food sovereignty in our territories. We must rally behind food systems built by and for the people in an agroecological way that respects the cycle of life in all its forms. A vital element in protecting and multiplying these diverse, decentralized and resilient food systems are the conditions available to the young and future small-scale food producers to engage in the production process. This edition of the Nyéléni newsletter delves into the democratization of people’s food systems and the critical need to keep the role and future of the peasant youth in this process. *La Via Campesina Youth Articulation* *Click here to download the English edition* <https://us5.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnyeleni.org%2FDOWNL…> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org <https://us5.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnyeleni.org%2F&xid=…> !

National Council for Education Development (CONAFE), Mexico, 1979 At a time when the media is sounding the alarm on high prices and shortages due to the war in Europe, even if there is not always an exact correlation, we are once again questioning the information that places large corporations as the suppliers of most of our food. Anchored to this fabricated image, the industrial agri-food system pushes a new assault on agriculture with the digitalisation of its processes, promotes “carbon sequestration” based on so-called “nature-based solutions”, continues its drive to control and regulate supply chains to benefit its interests, and even seeks to supplant the attempts of peasants in many parts of the world by sponsoring an “agroecology” that is now promoted by the same corporations and investment funds that for centuries have stripped peasants of the possibilities of an independent agriculture. We are therefore committed to defending our Food Sovereignty: the possibility of being able to reproduce our seeds on our terms and in our spaces, i.e., in full freedom, and to maintain our total independence in producing our own food. For this, it will remain crucial to challenge land grabbing and to insist on autonomy and on the defence of peasant and Indigenous territories and even urban spaces of popular self-management within neighbourhoods. *IPC for Food Sovereignty, FoEI and GRAIN* *Click here to download the English edition* <https://nyeleni.org/DOWNLOADS/newsletters/Nyeleni_Newsletter_Num_49_EN.pdf> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org <https://nyeleni.org/> !

*|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/>
