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

The report argues that 'nature-based solutions' and carbon offsetting used by corporations to achieve 'net zero' goals lead to land grabbing and the dispossession of indigenous and rural peoples. It highlights that the massive land requirements for these schemes—such as those proposed by Nestlé and Shell—threaten food sovereignty and risk co-opting agroecology, which the report presents as the only truly transformative way to produce food while cooling the planet.

• Corporate 'net zero' commitments often involve public proclamations of intent to cancel future emissions without implementing actual emission reductions.
• Nature-based solutions create significant risks of land grabbing and dispossession for indigenous peoples, peasants, and rural communities due to the immense amount of arable land required for corporate offsetting.
• The scale of land needed for specific corporate offsets is immense: Nestlé's plans could require planting trees on at least 4.4 million hectares annually, and Shell's large-scale natural solutions would require an area close to the size of Brazil.
• Carbon farming and the creation of monetary offset credits through soil carbon sequestration risk locking small-scale and peasant producers into intensive agricultural practices for decades.
• Agroecology is presented as the only transformative method for food production that simultaneously cools the planet and boosts biodiversity, but it is currently at risk of being co-opted by false climate solutions.
