Friends of the Earth International issued a statement denouncing the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) as a 'farce' and a tool for corporate and Northern power. The organization announced a boycott of the UNFSS and the organization of a counter-event, the 'People's Summit to transform corporate food systems,' involving over 500 organizations to advocate for agroecology and food sovereignty.

  • Friends of the Earth International characterizes the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) as a facade designed to place large corporations, 'philantrocapitalists' such as the Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum, and Northern countries at the center of food governance.
  • The UNFSS is criticized for promoting patented corporate technologies—including biotechnology, gene editing, and a 'digital cornucopia'—rather than implementing policy changes and regulations that would support social and environmental justice.
  • The document alleges that the UNFSS uses 'nature-positive foods' narratives to replace agroecology, allowing corporations to continue destructive activities and use 'nature-based solutions' to financialize and seize territories from local communities.
  • Friends of the Earth International and over 500 organizations of small-scale producers, Indigenous Peoples, and activists organized a 'People's Summit to transform corporate food systems' from July 25 to 27 as an alternative to the UNFSS.
  • The movement for food sovereignty proposes a system transformation based on agroecology, which includes binding norms to limit corporate power, the elimination of agrotóxicos and risky technologies, and the redirection of public funds toward agroecology.
