Double risque : la souveraineté alimentaire et l’agroécologie sous la menace croissante des fausses solutions climatiques

This report by Friends of the Earth International critiques 'net zero' packages, specifically 'nature-based solutions' and carbon offsets, arguing that they threaten food sovereignty, agroecology, and the land rights of indigenous and rural communities.

• The report argues that 'net zero' commitments made by over 1,500 companies, including oil, gas, and agri-food giants, often involve public proclamations to cancel future emissions without implementing actual emission reductions.
• Nature-based solutions and carbon offsets pose significant risks of land grabbing and dispossession for indigenous peoples, peasants, and rural communities due to the massive land requirements of corporate net-zero plans. For instance, Nestlé's offset plans could require planting trees on at least 4.4 million hectares annually, an area of arable land larger than Switzerland, while Shell's large-scale natural solutions would require a land area close to that of Brazil.
• The report warns that the use of soil carbon sequestration to create marketable offset credits allows agri-food, fossil fuel, and tech companies to engage in massive land and data grabs, potentially locking small-scale and peasant producers into intensive farming practices for decades.
• The document asserts that agroecology—based on resource efficiency, resilience, social equity, and environmental responsibility—is the only transformative way to produce food while cooling the planet and boosting biodiversity, and that it is fundamentally incompatible with 'nature-based solutions'.
