Land Workers of the World Unite! Food Sovereignty for Climate Justice Now! -La Via Campesina Declaration Towards UN Climate COP 26
by La Via Campesina
LAND WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! FOOD SOVEREIGNTY FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE
NOW!
LA VIA CAMPESINA DECLARATION TOWARDS UN CLIMATE COP 26 (GLASGOW)
(Harare: 25 October 2021) It's the most chaotic climate year on record,
since last year, and corporate-controlled governments, transnationals,
philanthropists, mainstream media and most non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) are offering MORE OF THE SAME: MARKET-BASED
SOLUTIONS AND RISKY TECHNO-FIXES. Two years into a global pandemic that
has taken the lives of untold millions, humanity wakes daily to historic
floods, fires and drought-caused famines along with extremely erratic
weather that makes life increasingly difficult to bear. Those in power
blame 'general human activity' for climate chaos, overlooking the
intimate links between fossil fuel extraction, corporate agribusiness
and the military industrial complex, not to mention global power
imbalances and historic responsibilities of countries that have enriched
themselves through colonial plunder. Instead of a truthful and
transformative way forward, we are sold false solutions that never fail
to prioritize corporate elites - "net zero", "nature-based solutions",
"geo-engineering", and the "digitalization of agricuture", just to name
a few. THIS HAS TO STOP, NOW!
HALTING THE CLIMATE CRISIS REQUIRES SYSTEM CHANGE ROOTED IN THE RIGHTS
OF HUMANITY AND MOTHER EARTH. For over 500 years, the colonial turned
corporate patriarchal food system has attempted to dominate all forms of
life for the enrichment of a few. Those who control the accumulated
wealth - produced by people and the planet over centuries - have so far
escaped the wrath of floods, droughts, degraded soils, war and hunger.
They ignore the ample signals of the breakdown of the natural systems
that sustain life and instead propose that we, the most vulnerable of
victims, bear the greatest burden. FOR LA VIA CAMPESINA (LVC) AND OUR
ORGANIZED DIVERSITY OF PEASANTS, MIGRANTS, LAND WORKERS, FISHERFOLK,
FOREST DWELLERS, RURAL WOMEN, YOUTH AND OTHERS, OUR SOLUTION TO THE
CLIMATE CRISIS IS A JUST TRANSITION ROOTED IN STRUGGLE AND SOLIDARITY –
INTERNATIONALIST SOLIDARITY WITH ALL WHO STRUGGLE FOR FOOD SOVEREIGNTY,
CLIMATE JUSTICE, AND THE RIGHTS OF MOTHER EARTH! It's a struggle for the
full realization of all the rights and responsibilities detailed in the
UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in
Rural Areas (UNDROP) [1], especially the Right to a Clean, Safe and
Healthy Environment (Article 18) recently ratified by the UN Human
Rights Council for all of humanity [2]. It's also a struggle against the
corporate capture of UN spaces through the "multi-stakeholderism' better
known as 'stakeholder capitalism', witnessed by all at the so-called UN
Food System Summit of 2021 and ever increasingly at the UN Climate COPs.
As we brace for another painful UN Climate Conference - Glasgow's COP26
- the 200 million land, water and territory defenders of LVC rise again
to DEMAND FOOD SOVEREIGNTY FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE. WE JOIN A LARGE
CONVERGENCE of struggles against fossil fuel capitalism, racism,
colonialism, and the patriarchy that binds them. As we struggle to hold
the corporates responsible for this needless destruction, WE STAND PROUD
WITH THE LANDWORKERS' ALLIANCE (LWA) - our LVC member organization based
in Scotland, England and Wales. LWA is working tirelessly to bring the
voices of agroecological land workers to COP26 by calling for
"recognition of the contribution that agroecological farming,
sustainable forestry and better land use can make towards our
commitments to reduce emissions, sequester carbon and build resilience."
Corporations beware, the land workers of the world have real solutions:
FOOD, [3]FARMING AND FORESTRY SYSTEMS THAT SERVE THE PEOPLE, CLIMATE
AND NATURE [3]! Alongside our LWA and all who struggle for a just
transition, we will again stand united in opposition to any attempts
made to turn the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) into
one giant "market mechanism." CLIMATE CAPITALISM IS A CRIME, NOT THE
SOLUTION!
COP26: MORE MARKET MECHANISMS WON'T SOLVE PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS
An outgrowth of the fossil fuel industry, the transnational food system
is one of the primary culprits of the climate crisis, contributing some
44 - 57 percent of global GHG emissions. This system alienates people
from the land, degrades communities and drives violence and inequality
across territories worldwide. It is especially harmful for women and
youth whose lives and work are undermined by a system that does not
value life.
Long before COP21 in Paris, multinational agribusiness and fossil fuel
corporations were already using their power and influence to promote
policies at national, subnational and global levels. The 2015 Paris
Agreement created a "consensus" of sorts around several very problematic
false solutions. CARBON TRADING AND OFFSETS MECHANISMS CONTAINED IN
ARTICLE 6, FOR EXAMPLE, will put significant power in the hands of
wealthy governments, corporations, bankers and traders whose primary
objective is to maximize profits not to take care of Mother Earth.
Instead of taking decisive actions to adapt to climate change and commit
to an honest transition towards democratic and human rights-based food
systems, POWERFUL ACTORS ARE USING "NET ZERO" PLEDGES TO HIDE THEIR
CLIMATE INACTION.
Net zero allows companies to buy their way out of responsibility for
historic and on-going emissions, prioritizing initiatives that favour
the corporate bottom line. Wherever the corporates promote 'Nature Based
Solutions' (NBS), we caution of nature-based dispossession through
forest and soil carbon offsets schemes premised on the false claim that
paying someone else to deal with carbon emissions instead of taking
direct action to reduce pollution will somehow slow-down the crisis.
Combating the climate crisis requires a just transition away from fossil
fuels, an end to destructive mining and extractive agriculture, and a
focus on recovering damaged territories and ecosystems. Our solutions -
which are truly nature-based, agroecological, and peasant-controlled -
are just solutions. NO 'CARBON UNICORNS' AND MAGICAL THINKING WILL SOLVE
THIS PROBLEM, JUST IMMEDIATE ACTION TOWARD SYSTEM CHANGE.
Also, what they call 'climate smart agriculture' we call 'Corporate
Smart Agriculture' because it provides a framework for integrating GMOs
and agrochemicals into small-scale agriculture relying on the same
racist and sexist paradigm of the Green Revolution. It positions
capitalist science and technology as solutions to the problems faced by
"underdevelopment" and the world's supposedly "uneducated" peasants.
These original problems were created by global capitalism, theft,
colonial pillage, wars and generalized violence.
While many corporate false solutions co-opt the language of Peasant
Agroecology, nowhere are fundamental rights to local and nutritious
food, dignified livelihoods, land and self-determination affirmed or
guaranteed. What is guaranteed are endless cycles of accumulation
benefiting those driving the climate crisis, including major food and
agribusiness corporations like John Deere, Bayer-Monsanto, Syngenta,
Cargill, Nestlé, Wal-Mart and others.
THE TRANSITION IS NOW! FOOD SOVEREIGNTY FEEDS CLIMATE JUSTICE!
LAND WORKERS AND OTHER FOOD PRODUCERS OF THE WORLD DEMAND – AND STAND
READY TO CARRY OUT – A CLIMATE JUST TRANSITION IN AGRICULTURE! For
decades, local food producers have been pushed down the path of
intensification and monocropping by corporate agribusiness and their
allies. The co-opted UN Food System Summit of 2021 was just one more
example. What people and the planet need urgently are governments and
institutions providing publically-funded opportunities to transition
towards more ecologically and socially sound farming systems. FOR FAR
TOO LONG HAVE FARMERS FACED THE BLAME FOR A MODEL FORCED UPON US BY
CAPITAL. THIS ENDS NOW! Society must recognize that our agricultural,
water and land use systems are what they are today because of systemic
pressures. As we transition away from fossil fuel capitalism, we must
not lose farmers, destroy livelihoods, or healthy food production
capacity. Government support for grants and training programmes to
support transition are essential, and this JUST TRANSITION IN
AGRICULTURE MUST BE CENTRED ON PRINCIPLES OF CLIMATE JUSTICE. This means
that all those involved in the food chain - including peasants,
pastoralists, migrant workers, contract workers, landless people, and
indigenous people - must be front and center defining and implementing
the public policies required for this transition.
AS LA VIA CAMPESINA WE CALL FOR AN END TO ALL FALSE SOLUTIONS AND MARKET
MECHANISMS IN ARTICLE 6. We demand a just transition to Real Zero, not
the corporate marketing schemes hidden behind 'net zero'. At the same
time, and of the utmost importance, we call on all former colonial
powers to take on their historic responsibilities and drastically cut
emissions at the source, now, including through an immediate drawdown of
their military presence around the world! LA VIA CAMPESINA STANDS IN
SOLIDARITY WITH THE VICTIMS OF ALL WARS, SANCTIONS AND OCCUPATIONS – be
they the maimed and murdered of Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan or the
poor, working and indigenous people of the United States lacking
hospitals, schools and daily bread. FOR FOOD SOVEREIGNTY, HUMAN RIGHTS
AND MOTHER EARTH – DEFUND THE WAR MACHINE!
The pathways to achieving climate justice must be radically different
from the ones which produced the crisis. PEASANT AGROECOLOGY AND FOOD
SOVEREIGNTY can 'feed the world and cool the planet'! They offer the
very real possibility of reducing emissions and realizing social
justice, the rights of people and the planet. A food system based on
Food Sovereignty and localized food systems, one fed by family farmers
using peasant agroecology, can truly transform society while reducing
carbon emissions dramatically and much sooner than any false solutions
sold by the corporates. All of this can be done without commodifying
carbon, and, at the same time, contribute to strengthening grassroots
democratic solutions to poverty, hunger and violence.
AGROECOLOGICAL LAND, WATER AND TERRITORY DEFENDERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!
With food producers at the forefront of our global convergence for a
Food Sovereignty that feeds Climate Justice, life will prevail over
death!
THE TRANSITION IS NOW!
FOOD SOVEREIGNTY FEEDS CLIMATE JUSTICE!
GLOBALIZE THE STRUGGLE! GLOBALIZE HOPE!

#16Oct: “Our historic task is to ensure that no human being goes hungry”
by La Via Campesina
#16OCT: "OUR HISTORIC TASK IS TO ENSURE THAT NO HUMAN BEING GOES HUNGRY"
PRESS RELEASE | HARARE, OCTOBER 15, 2021
In the context of October 16 - Global Day of Action for Peoples' Food
Sovereignty and Against Multinational Corporations, and in the context
of the commemoration of 25 years for food sovereignty [1] - we continue
to claim food sovereignty as a philosophy of life, and a concrete and
legitimate political proposal in the face of the food, social and
environmental crisis that the world is going through. Our historic task
is to guarantee that no human being suffers from hunger: as we affirmed
as a movement in our recent official declaration [2] of La Via Campesina
"Food Sovereignty, a manifesto for the future of our planet".
The recent report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations (FAO) titled "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the
World in 2021 [3]" states that by 2020, 30% of the world's population,
or about 2.3 billion people, will not have access to adequate food. The
report also mentions that 12% of the world's population, or 928 million
people, were severely food insecure in the year of the pandemic, 148
million more than in 2019.
The fight against hunger in the world is a task that falls as much on
the shoulders of peasants, as it does on the shoulders of States and
Civil Society. Hunger is not only related to the lack of food, but also
to the concentration and unequal distribution of wealth. It is linked to
supply problems and to a system of subsidized prices for industrial food
that has serious social and environmental repercussions. The industrial
food model, agribusiness and neo-liberal policies, which are based on
the exploitation of workers and natural resources, generate severe
social problems such as poverty, hunger, unemployment, criminalization,
migration and violence in many countries. The industrial food model is
clearly inefficient and unsustainable, dominated by a handful of
transnational corporations that see food as a commodity to be speculated
on and as an endless source of profit.
As a peasant movement, we have the responsibility to produce food, but
we know that it is not enough just to have food; we must also guarantee
healthy and poison-free food that guarantees the health and life of
humanity and nature. To generate equitable relations between producers,
consumers and the environment. We need clear public policies and the
enforcement of the rights of those who cultivate and feed the
population, rights that are now recognized by the United Nations
Declaration on the Rights of Peasants [4]. Indeed, it is only possible
to achieve food sovereignty through agrarian reform, without
criminalizing struggles and with land distributed to people living off
the waters, fields and forests.
As we denounced [5] at the United Nations summit on food systems, food
is not a playground, but a stake in many power relationships. Food is
about the possible and sustainable future of humanity. This is why we
must be attentive and ready to mobilize. More than ever, States must
invest so that the rural world is ever more alive, with peasant men and
women who can feed the populations and that they are not at the service
of food globalization, multinationals and the world market. Food
sovereignty fights for life, for the protection of territories and the
people who live in them, through solidarity, social and environmental
justice.
As we have already pointed out, food is a fundamental human right that,
in addition to guaranteeing health, demands adequate nutrition and a
dignified life for people. Building diversified, just and sustainable
food systems based on food sovereignty and agroecological production is
essential for the present and future of humanity. It is impossible to
turn back the clock on such fundamental rights as food, in the midst of
the crises we are currently experiencing.
This October 16, we denounce the networks of private interests that
endanger the sovereignty and food security of people around the world.
Food is not a game and covid-19 has forced more than 120 million people
to be on the chronic hunger lists. Peasantry, in alliance with rural,
forest, water and urban organizations, has real solutions based on food
sovereignty as a fertile ground for social, environmental and political
transformations.
FOOD SOVEREIGNTY MEANS LAND, WATER, SEEDS, BREAD AND SOLIDARITY!
Tomorrow, Saturday 16th of October, join hundreds of decentralized
actions around the world, participate in our Food Sovereignty Festival -
25 years building the future organized by La Via Campesina and allies.

Food Sovereignty, a Manifesto for the Future of Our Planet | La Via Campesina
by La Via Campesina
_OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM LA VIA CAMPESINA [1], AS WE MARK 25 YEARS OF
OUR COLLECTIVE STRUGGLES FOR FOOD SOVEREIGNTY_
-------------------------
Food Sovereignty is a philosophy of life.
It offers a vision for our collective future, and defines the principles
around which we organize our daily living and co-exist with Mother
Earth. It is a celebration of life and all the diversity around us. It
embraces every element of our cosmos; the sky above our heads, the land
beneath our feet, the air we breathe, the forests, the mountains,
valleys, farms, oceans, rivers and ponds. It recognizes and protects the
inter-dependency between eight million species that share this home with
us.
We inherited this collective wisdom from our ancestors, who ploughed the
land and waded the waters for 10,000 years, a period in which we evolved
into an agrarian society. Food Sovereignty promotes justice, equality,
dignity, fraternity and solidarity. Food Sovereignty is also the science
of life - built through lived realities spread across countless
generations, each teaching their progeny something new, inventing new
methods and techniques which sat harmoniously with nature.
As holders of this rich heritage, it is our collective responsibility to
defend it and preserve it.
Recognizing this as our duty - especially in the late '90s when
conflicts, acute hunger, global warming and extreme poverty were too
visible to ignore - La Via Campesina(LVC) brought the paradigm of Food
Sovereignty into international policy-making spaces. LVC reminded the
world that this philosophy of life must guide the principles of our
shared living.
The '80s and the '90s were an era of unbridled capitalist expansion - at
a pace never seen before in human history. Cities were expanding,
growing on the backs of cheap, unpaid and underpaid labour. The
countryside was being pushed into oblivion. Rural communities and rural
ways of living were swept under the carpet by a new ideology that wanted
to turn everybody into a mere consumer of things and an object of
exploitation for profit. Popular culture and consciousness were under
the spell of glittery advertisements goading people to "buy more". In
all this, though, the ones who produced - the working class in the rural
areas, coasts and cities, which included the peasants and other
small-scale food producers - remained invisible, while the ones who
could afford to consume with wander took centre stage. Pushed to the
edges, peasant1 [2] workers and indigenous communities worldwide
recognized the urgent necessity for an organized and internationalist
response to this globalizing, free-market ideology propagated by the
defenders of the capitalist world order. Food Sovereignty became one of
the expressions of this collective response.
At the 1996 World Food Summit, in a debate about how we organize our
global food systems, La Via Campesina coined the term food sovereignty;
to insist upon the centrality of the small-scale food producers, the
accumulated wisdom of generations, the autonomy and diversity of rural
and urban communities and solidarity between peoples, as essential
components for crafting policies around food and agriculture.
In the ensuing decade, social movements and civil society actors worked
together to define it further "_as the right of peoples to healthy and
culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and
sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and
agriculture systems. It puts the aspirations and needs of those who
produce, distribute and consume food at the heart of food systems and
policies rather than the demands of markets and corporations."_
THE INTRODUCTION OF FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AS A COLLECTIVE RIGHT CHANGED HOW
THE WORLD UNDERSTOOD POVERTY AND HUNGER.
Until then, especially in the early years of the 21st century, a narrow
idea of "Food Security" dominated governance and policy-making circles.
Noble in its intent, food security treated those affected by hunger as
objects of compassion, risked reducing them to passive consumers of food
produced elsewhere. While it recognized food as a fundamental human
right, it did not defend the objective conditions for producing food.
Who produces? For Whom? How? Where? And Why? All these questions were
absent, and the focus was decidedly on merely "feeding the people". An
overt emphasis on people's food security ignored the hazardous
consequences of industrial food production and factory farming, built on
the sweat and labour of migrant workers.
Food Sovereignty, on the other hand, presents a radical overhaul. It
recognizes people and local communities as the principal actors in the
fight against poverty and hunger. It calls for strong local communities
and defends their right to produce and consume before trading the
surplus. It demands autonomy and objective conditions to use local
resources, calls for agrarian reform and collective ownership of
territories. It defends the rights of peasant communities to use, save,
exchange seeds. It stands for the rights of people to eat healthy,
nutritious food. It encourages agroecological production cycles,
respecting climatic and cultural diversities in every community. Social
peace, social justice, gender justice and solidarity economies are
essential pre-conditions for realizing food sovereignty. It calls for an
international trade order based on cooperation and compassion as against
competition and coercion. It calls for a society that rejects
discrimination in all forms - caste, class, racial and gender - and
urges people to fight patriarchy and parochialism. A tree is only strong
as its roots. Food Sovereignty, defined by social movements in the '90s
and subsequently at the Nyeleni Forum in Mali in 2007, intends to do
precisely that.
THIS YEAR WE CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF THIS COLLECTIVE CONSTRUCTION.
The world is nowhere near perfect. Capitalism and free-market ideology
continue to dominate policy circles even in the face of unprecedented
inequality, rising hunger and extreme poverty. Worse, new attempts are
also being made to envision a digital future - of farming without
farmers, fishing without fishers- all under the garb of digitalisation
of agriculture and to create new markets for synthetic food.
All these challenges notwithstanding, the Food Sovereignty Movement,
which is now much more extensive than La Via Campesina and comprises
several actors, has made significant advances.
Thanks to our joint struggles, global governance institutions such as
the FAO 2 [3] have come to recognize the centrality of peoples' food
sovereignty in international policy-making. The UN Declaration on Rights
Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas further re-emphasizes
this in Article 15.4, when it states, _" Peasants and other people
working in rural areas have the right to determine their own food and
agriculture systems, recognized by many States and regions as the right
to food sovereignty. This includes the right to participate in
decision-making processes on food and agriculture policy and the right
to healthy and adequate food produced through ecologically sound and
sustainable methods that respect their cultures."_
Some nations have also given constitutional recognition to Food
Sovereignty. The disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the
industrial food chains have further reminded national governments of the
importance of creating robust local economies.
Peasant Agroecology, which is fundamental to ensuring food sovereignty
in our territories, is now recognized at the FAO as central to our fight
against global warming. Current and previous Special Rapporteurs of the
United Nations have endorsed food sovereignty as a simple but powerful
idea that can transform the global food system favouring small-scale
food producers. Sustained campaign by social movements have also
resulted in several legal victories against corporations producing
agro-toxins, other chemical inputs and transgenic seeds.
Yet, what lies ahead of us is a road ridden with many barriers.
The promoters of the capitalist world order realize that food
sovereignty is an idea that impinges on their financial interests. They
prefer a world of monoculture and homogenous tastes, where food can be
mass-produced using cheap labour in faraway factories, disregarding its
ecological, human and social impacts. They prefer economies of scale to
robust local economies. They choose a global-free market (based on
speculation and cut-throat competition) over solidarity economies that
require more robust territorial markets (local peasant markets) and
active participation of local food producers. They prefer to have land
banks where industrial-scale contract farming would replace small-holder
producers. They inject our soil with agro-toxics for better short-term
yields, ignoring the irreversible damage to soil health. Their trawlers
will again crawl the oceans and rivers, netting fishes for a global
market while the coastal communities starve. They will continue to try
to hijack indigenous peasant seeds through patents and seed treaties.
The trade agreements they craft will again aim to bring down tariffs
that protect our local economies.
An exodus of unemployed youth, deserting village farms and choosing wage
work in cities, sits perfectly with their urge to find a regular supply
of cheap labour. Their unrelenting focus on "margins" would mean that
they will find all means to depress farm-gate prices while trading it at
higher prices at retail supermarkets. In the end, the ones who lose are
the people - both the producers and consumers. Those who resist will be
criminalized. A happy co-existence of the global financial elite with
authoritarian governments would mean that even the highest institutions
- nationally and globally - meant to oversee and arrest human rights
violations will look away. Billionaires would use their philanthropic
foundations to fund agencies that churn out "research reports" and
"scientific journals" to justify this corporate vision of our food
systems. Every global governance space, where the social movements and
civil society members campaigned hard to gain a seat at the table, will
make way for Corporate Conglomerates who will enter the scene as
"stakeholders". Every attempt will be made to deride those of us who
defend Food Sovereignty as unscientific, primitive, impractical and
idealistic. All this will happen, as it did over the last two decades.
None of this is new to us. Those condemned to the peripheries of our
societies by a cruel and all-devouring capitalist system have no choice
but to fight back. We must resist and show that we exist. It is not just
about our survival, but also about future generations and a way of life
handed down through generations. It is for the future of humanity that
we defend our food sovereignty.
This is only possible if we insist that any local, national or global
policy proposal on food and agriculture must build from the principles
of food sovereignty. The young peasants and workers of our worldwide
movement must lead this fight. We must remind ourselves that the only
way to make our voice heard is by uniting and building new alliances
within and across every border. Rural and Urban Social Movements, Trade
Unions and civil society actors, progressive governments, academics,
scientists and technology enthusiasts must come together to defend this
vision for our future. Peasant women and other oppressed gender
minorities must find equal space in the leadership of our movement at
all levels. We must sow the seeds of solidarity in our communities and
address all forms of discrimination that keep rural societies divided.
Food Sovereignty offers a manifesto for the future, a feminist vision
that embraces diversity. It is an idea that unites humanity and puts us
at the service of Mother Earth that feeds and nourishes us.
In its defence, we stand united.
GLOBALIZE THE STRUGGLE, GLOBALIZE HOPE!
