Friends of the Earth International denounces the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) as a mechanism for large corporations, philanthropic capitalists, and Northern countries to dominate food governance. The organization argues that the UNFSS promotes failed patented technologies and 'nature-positive' narratives to protect corporate interests while excluding small-scale producers. In response, it advocates for a transformation based on agroecology, food sovereignty, and binding regulations on corporate power.

  • The UNFSS is characterized as a tool for large companies, philanthropic capitalists such as the Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum, and Global North countries to position themselves at the center of food governance and offer false solutions to problems they created.
  • The UNFSS is accused of promoting corporate-patented technologies—including biotechnology, gene editing, and a 'digital cornucopia'—instead of implementing policy changes and regulations that would ensure social and environmental justice.
  • The document claims the UNFSS uses 'nature-positive food' narratives to replace agroecology, allowing corporations to continue destructive activities by investing in 'nature-based solutions' that lead to the financialization and seizure of local community territories.
  • The UNFSS is described as lacking democracy and transparency, specifically excluding the meaningful participation and knowledge of small-scale food producers and communities most affected by malnutrition, food insecurity, and human rights violations.
  • A true transformation of food systems requires confronting corporate power through binding standards, eliminating agrotochemicals and risky technologies, redirecting public funds toward agroecology, and ensuring governments protect the right to food.
