New Nyeleni newsletter on Migration
by Nyéleni newsletter 08 Sep '18

<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
by Nyéleni newsletter 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

*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 !

New edition of Nyeleni on Oceans and water

*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 !

*EN FTAs and agriculture* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=109> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online!* FTAs aren’t just about ‘trade’. They’re comprehensive agreements to lock in free market capitalism, strengthen the power of global corporations, finance, and powerful governments, and advance their geopolitical objectives. There are direct links between FTAs, climate change, ecological devastation, and violations of Indigenous Peoples’, workers’ and farmers’ rights. *We must struggle for **real systemic change**,* saying “no to FTAs and global free market capitalism”, combatting racist politics and defending mother earth. *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=109> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !

Agroecology at a crossroads, Nyeleni newsletter.

13 Dec '16

*EN Agroecology at a crossroads* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=106> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online!* Agroecology has become a territory in dispute. While mainstream institutions and corporations for years have marginalized and ridiculed agroecology, today they are trying to capture it. They want to take what is useful to them – the technical part – and use it to fine tune industrial agriculture, while conforming to the monoculture model and to the dominance of capital and corporations in structures of power. Social movements, on the other hand, use agroecology to challenge existing power structures, to resist the multiple attacks on our Mother Earth, and as a tool for the social, economic, cultural, political and ecological transformation of communities and territories. *Their agroecology is merely technical, our agroecology is political.* *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=106> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !

Nyeleni newsletter: Smallholders' markets

04 Oct '16

*EN Smallholders' markets* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=100> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online!* Bulk of the food consumed in the world is produced by smallholders and workers, and channeled through *“territorial markets”*, which reflect the huge diversity of contexts that characterise small-scale food production and distribution. Territorial markets are an important source of employment and critical in battling hunger and poverty. These markets increasingly face threats from corporate led super/hyper-markets, procurement, storage, certification and food safety systems. Corporations use neoliberal trade and investment agreements, and sophisticated marketing systems to control how food is produced, priced, distributed and consumed. *Protecting and strengthening the markets of smallholders are crucial aspects of food sovereignty and restoring societal control over the economy.* *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=100> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !

Land reform and FS: new Nyeleni online!

14 Jun '16

*EN Land Reform and food sovereignty* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=97> *The new edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter is now online!* Capital is appropriating our territories. Hence, we must respond by turning the struggle for land into a *struggle for territor.* This will require forging unions between –on one side– peasant farmers, day laborers, indigenous peoples, nomad shepherds, artisan fishermen, forest peoples and other rural communities, and –on another– city dwellers, especially those in suburban communities and consumers. It will require producing healthy food using agroecology and know-how handed down from our ancestors and steeped in popular traditions. We must show that land in community hands is better for society and Mother Earth than land which is at the mercy of capital. *Click here to download the English edition* <http://www.nyeleni.org/ccount/click.php?id=97> or read it directly in the website at www.nyeleni.org !
