What is Food Sovereignty ?
Food Sovereignty
is the RIGHT of peoples, communities, and
countries to define their own agricultural, labour, fishing,
food and land policies which are ecologically, socially,
economically and culturally appropriate to their unique
circumstances. It includes the true right to food and to
produce food, which means that all people have the right
to safe, nutritious and culturally appropriate food and
to food-producing resources and the ability to sustain themselves
and their societies.
What
is IPC ?
The IPC is a global network of Civil Society Organisations
(CSOs) and Social Movements concerned with food sovereignty
issues and programs. It includes social organizations representing
small-scale farmers, fisher folk, indigenous peoples, pastoralists,
agricultural workers’ trade unions; sub-regional/regional
CSOs which act as regional focal points; CSOs and networks
with particular expertise in lobbying and advocacy which
act as thematic focal points.
The IPC serves
as a facilitation mechanism for the dialogue between Social
movements/CSOs and the UN agencies dealing with food and
agriculture. In particular, the IPC facilitated the participation
of CSOs to the World Food Summit, the World Food Summit:
five years later and the International Conference on Agrarian
Reform and Rural Development. |
