Food

Global South farming communities are leading a movement to put power over agriculture back in the hands of people.

This is the movement for food sovereignty: for local farmers to control how food is distributed and traded, and to grow food appropriate for their lands and culture – and for the planet. There is enough fertile land in the world to feed everyone, yet millions go hungry because industrialised farming feeds corporate profits instead of people. We stand with our partners in peasants’ movements around the world in their campaigning for a better global food system – to farm and live sustainably, free from exploitation and poverty.

Explainers

When food, land, and water — our basic human rights — are treated as profit-making ‘assets’, what happens to people and the planet, and how can we win these essentials back for everyone?
Deadly toxic pesticides and fertilisers derived from fossil fuels are destroying the health of people and planet.
With ecosystems collapsing as the climate crisis intensifies, corporations are pushing 'solutions' like carbon offsetting, in reality a way to keep polluting and profiting.
