Sommet des Nations unies sur les systèmes alimentaires : imposture !

Friends of the Earth International issued a statement boycotting the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS), characterizing it as a tool for corporate and philanthropic control over food governance. The organization, alongside over 500 other entities, organized an alternative 'People's Summit' to advocate for agroecology and food sovereignty over commercial technological solutions.

• Friends of the Earth International and over 500 organizations, including peasants, fishers, and indigenous peoples, are boycotting the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) and holding a parallel 'People's Summit' from July 25 to 27.
• The UNFSS is criticized as an opaque and undemocratic event that allows corporations, industrialized nations, and philanthropic entities like the World Economic Forum and the Gates Foundation to control food governance while excluding small producers and affected communities.
• The document alleges that the UNFSS promotes ineffective commercial technological solutions—such as biotechnology, genomic modification, and 'digital dairy cows'—and uses 'Nature Positive Food' narratives to replace agroecology and facilitate corporate land grabbing.
• The movement for food sovereignty proposes a transformation of food systems based on agroecology, which requires binding corporate regulation, the cessation of pesticide and dangerous technology use, and the redirection of public funds toward agroecology.
