*EN Peasant seeds, the heart of the struggle for Food Sovereignty* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=140> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online! * In 2018 the United Nations (UN) adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Peasants, recognising at the highest level of international governance the strategic role played by the peasants of the world.(...) The Declaration highlights the role of peasant seeds in achieving Food Sovereignty, and in developing agrarian policies which favour peasant farmers. (...) It is vital to guarantee the right of peoples to "*Maintain, control, protect and develop their own seeds and traditional knowledge”. *(...) In this edition of the newsletter we are inviting you to return to the debate on *Peasant seeds, the heart of the struggle for Food Sovereignty*, which guarantee full Peasant Rights. We are sharing a series of articles which seek to raise awareness and improve organisation for Peasant Seeds in all territories, and providing information about how to join the "Adopt a Seed" action. You will also find testimonies of the actions of resistance people are engaged in to keep peasant seeds in the hands of those who feed populations in a fair and healthy way. *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=140> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !

Digitalization: New edition Nyeleni online!

*EN The digitalization of the food system* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=136> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online! * Today, more than 820 million people suffer from hunger while obesity also continues to increase across the world. Biodiversity in food and agriculture is being eroded at an alarming rate by the destruction of eco-systems. Climate change is accelerating (...). Meanwhile a new “silver bullet” is being presented by corporations, governments and international institutions to tackle hunger, malnutrition and climate change: digitalization. (...) Digital technologies have the potential to be beneficial or harmful depending on the context. Small-scale food producers have their own technologies, innovations and knowledge. However, so do corporations, who seek monopoly controls on technology. Also, digitalization is happening in an era of increasing inequalities, authoritarianism and oppression.(...) *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=136> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !

Agroecology, real innovation - Nyeleni online!
by Nyéleni newsletter 03 May '19

03 May '19

*EN Agroecology: real innovation from and for the people* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=133> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online! * The crisis in the industrial food system is impossible to ignore. For over a decade, study after study has validated the assertion of the Food Sovereignty movement in 2007 - that the corporate food system destroys life. Now Governments are anxious to find ‘innovations’ in agriculture that can overcome this. They are hoping to be saved by a new Green Revolution(…). On the other hand Agroecology within the framework of Food Sovereignty is also gaining widespread recognition and is increasingly being promoted as an approach to transform agriculture and food systems and address the challenges we face. The Food Sovereignty movement is exposing how the discourse on innovation is actually a way to depoliticise the debate on what a new food system should look like – by not setting any criteria on what innovation must deliver on. In this way Agroecology is put together with GMOs, new gene breeding technologies, ‘climate-smart agriculture’ and ‘sustainable intensification’. (…) In this edition, we look at the elements of Agroecology as defined by small scale food producers that make it the only real innovation to transform our food and farming. *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=133> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !

*EN Food Sovereignty at the rural - urban interface* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=130> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online! * The rural-urban interface is a complex social* space* where politics and culture are in constant flux. It can also be a physical *place*, where the wealth and resources of villages, towns, peri-urban suburbs, and suburbanized rural areas are in dispute. Taken globally, it is a vast territory with potential to grow food sovereignty. This issue of the Nyéléni Newsletter addresses the challenges and opportunities of building food sovereignty in peri-urban areas, and the ways that the producers and consumers of urban and rural communities form alliances to transform the food system. *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=130> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !

New Nyeleni newsletter on Migration

<http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=129> *EN Migration and Food Sovereignty* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=127> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online!* The so-called migration crisis has taken a highly tragic turn. Many escape due to the violence of the wars of occupation, others do so because of the disasters of the climate crisis and many more because of the inequities of this voracious and savage capitalism system. For our part, the Collective on Migrations of La Vía Campesina proposes to understand migration as an act of resistance by the dispossessed. When human beings leave their families, their communities and their lands, they are challenging the system that has condemned them to disappear as peasants, as indigenous people, as women, as people of color, as youth, as another culture, as a community and as a people. By understanding migration in this way, we recognize in the struggle of La Vía Campesina the key role of migrants and their potential as actors of change. *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=127> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !

[Nyéléni]New Nyéléni newsletter: Kids and Food Sovereignty

*EN Kids and Food Sovereignty* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=124> *The new edition of the Nyéléni newsletter is now online!* We are aware that to achieving a world where peoples’ food sovereignty is a reality demands crucial discussions about food systems, access to and control over natural resources, political and legal debates on gender and on seeds, as well as social struggles and mobilization. But one essential element among these – and progressively gaining more attention – is* the role of children. * The future of the struggles for the realization of food sovereignty and the right to food depends on how our children are aware of the challenges regarding how we produce our food, by whom and for whom it is produced. Instead of perceiving children as a market niche, as big food companies have been,* we see the youngest generations as the foundation for transforming our food systems.* *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=124> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !

*Sorry for resending this email to the list, but it seems that the first email was not sent properly.* *All the best.* *EN Oceans and water* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=117> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online! * Water is an essential element for life and a crucial component of the human environment. It is also an indispensable natural resource needed for the production of our food and the maintenance of our planet’s basic functions.* For these reasons, water has increasingly become a central political element in peoples’ struggles for food sovereignty. * The current edition of the Nyéléni newsletter exposes the growing global threat of privatization and commodification of water – especially those of the oceans and of inland waters, which are the source of life for thousands of millions of fisher folks the world over. Fisher communities from different regions and countries, organized in global movements - the World Forum of Fish Harvesters and Fish Workers (WFF) and the World Forum of Fisher Peoples (WFFP) - are resisting “ocean/water grabbing”, which follows similar logic to land grabbing. *The time has come to reemphasize the importance of fish workers themselves – both women and men – and for communities to exercise their sovereignty and make states meet their human rights obligations – especially with regard to the protection of our oceans and inland waters. * *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=117> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !

Advancing Food Sovereignty, new edition Nyeleni online
by Nyéleni newsletter 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

*EN Advancing Food Sovereignty* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=113> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online!* This year marks the tenth anniversary of the historic International Forum on Food Sovereignty that was held Mali in 2007. Nyéléni has since become a space of praxis, to convene, synergise and build forces to strengthen the different conditions for food sovereignty. As the paradigm of food sovereignty has expanded, so too have threats against it. These threats are being confronted at multiple fronts and levels by the growing global movement for food sovereignty. The recurring crises the world is facing are inherent to capitalism which is adept at re-inventing itself to maintain structural power. Tinkering with the wiring of the capitalist model will do little good. *What is needed is deep systemic change, a complete paradigm shift from competitiveness to solidarity, from extractivism to respect and from exploitation to dignity. This is the paradigm of food sovereignty, which the global movement is advancing through diverse knowledge, capacities, resources and social bases.* *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=113> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !
