Nyéléni, towards a Global Forum on Food Sovereignty

Building the Global response

IPC members are not sitting by idly, waiting for the catastrophe. We are fighting back and will continue to do so. That is why we are calling for a new mobilization within and beyond the food sovereignty movement, to build our response at both the global and local levels and tighten alliances with climate justice, antiracism, black movements, labor and feminist groups, and social and solidarity economy. It’s now or never.

Twenty-seven years after the pronouncement of Food Sovereignty, the IPC is calling for a new and broader edition of the Nyeleni process, inviting global social movements, organizations, and networks to articulate an intersectional convergence towards joint proposals for a system change.

Through this multi-year process, we expect to bring together thousands of grassroots organizations and other allies to discuss and put forward a strong food sovereignty and climate, social, racial, and gender justice political agenda for the years to come. This is a critical and huge undertaking that will involve processes to create alliances and common political agendas in regions and territories in which the IPC is organized.

The outcomes of this global process will culminate in a Global Nyéléni Forum, to be held in 2025 in India, in which hundreds of delegates from all over the world will discuss strategies and solutions for more just and agroecological food systems and will relaunch a global alliance capable of counteracting the forces that are pushing the world into a deeper, multi-dimensional crisis.
