Resolver la crisis alimentaria mundial mediante el cambio de sistema

The document asserts that the global food crisis is driven by an industrial food system that prioritizes profit over human rights and the environment. It highlights how neoliberal policies, corporate concentration in agribusiness, and climate change have created fragility and hunger. The author calls for a radical transformation toward food sovereignty and agroecology to ensure the right to food and protect biodiversity.

• The global food system is characterized by extreme fragility and dependence, exemplified by at least 20 countries relying on Russia and Ukraine for half of their wheat imports, with East Africa importing 84% of its wheat primarily from these two nations.
• The industrial food model contributes to the climate, environmental, and public health crises due to its heavy reliance on fossil fuels and chemical inputs, while being controlled by a small number of large corporations.
• Neoliberal policies, including structural adjustments and free trade agreements, have forced previously self-sufficient countries to depend on food imports, with debt burdens in the Global South, such as in Sri Lanka, hindering the ability to address food price increases and climate impacts.
• Agribusiness is dominated by a few firms; specifically, the 'big four' grain traders—Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus—reported record profits in 2021, while the overall wealth of large food companies and billionaires grew by 45% in 2021/22 to $382 billion.
• The 'Peasant Food Web' provides food for over 70% of the global population while utilizing less than 25% of the world's land, water, and fuel resources.
