πŸ“°'The 2021 UN #Food Systems Summit Has Started on the Wrong Foot – But it Could Still Be Transformational'

πŸ‘‰ foodtank.com/news/2020/03/2…

Read more by IPES-Food Co-chairs Olivier De Schutter & Olivia Yambi, via our friends @foodtank! #FoodSystems @FAO ImageImageImage
For the 2021 @UN gathering on #foodsystems, three things must happen:

"1. Turn the 'Food Systems Summit' into an inclusive 'World Food Congress';
2. Use the process to re-center food systems governance on the @UN_CFS;
3. Put #agroecology & food sovereignty firmly on the table." Image
"In other words, we must press the reset button. The @FoodSystems Summit must choose democratic debate over back-room deals, substance over showcases, and systemic solutions over silver bullets."
πŸ€” But what do we mean by an "inclusive" World Food Congress?

πŸ’‘ IPES-Food's Pat Mooney has the answers, with a 'Brief History of Food Governance'

#COP27 ends, our quick take:
-Hopeful: agreement on loss & damage
-Bad: we’re on track to 2.7C
-Significant: 1st agreement to include action on agriculture & #foodsecurity
-Disappointing: #agroecology & #foodsystems deleted
-Dismaying: zero #climatefinance for small-scale farmers Image
It is a significant step to see the UN #climate agreement will officially begin to target greater action on the 1/3rd of carbon emissions from industrial #agriculture and make agriculture more resilient to climate change - @ZGoita Image
We cannot ignore that the world’s small-scale farmers have been shut out & drowned out from this #COP27 says @Million_Belay of @Afsafrica.

They demanded recognition for diverse resilient farming #agroecology, and #climatefinance. But they leave with very little Image

Here's the story of our POLITICS OF PROTEIN report out today. A thread 🧡

For decades, governments & corporations expanded factory farming - claiming more protein was needed for #foodsecurity.

Now they're confronted with the consequences... /1
Devastating deforestation, immense land use, pollution, impacts on health, climate & animals from intensive factory farming are clear for all to see.

Thankfully momentum for change is growing. /2 ImageImage
But those same actors (and some new philanthropists & venture capital) are now pushing a number of techno-fix solutions. These are many of the same firms that already dominate sales of conventional (factory-farmed) products. /3 ImageImage

πŸ’‘ How the resetting of corporate control of food systems is already well under way πŸ‘‡πŸΎ

πŸ“° frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

🧡 A thread on #foodsystems & the #UNFSS /1
Few people will dispute that global food systems need transformation, but this #UNFSS is instead an effort by a powerful alliance of multinational corporations, philanthropies, and export-oriented countries to subvert multilateral institutions of food #governance.

/2
Once Guterres appointed a Special Envoy and the structure of the Summit was announced, the drivers behind the Summit became clear.

In the #LongFoodMovement report, we're reminded that the world’s 30 million artisanal #fishers and workers provide nearly half of the #fish we eat (@IPBES, 2019).

But with #climatechange & island/ocean grabbing, small-scale fishers & their communities are in peril.

🧡Thread πŸ‘‡πŸΎ
Island/#ocean grabbing is likely to intensify as countries seek to solidify their influence, their #food supply chains, & their global sourcing and distribution networks. For example, in the #RedSea region, conflicts over fish & other marine resources threaten rich #biodiversity.
Meanwhile, in the South China Sea, said to
have some of the highest marine #biodiversity on earth, #China has been building airstrips, ports & other facilities on disputed islands & reefs, w/ the apparent aim of establishing military bases (cf. Ives,
2016).

πŸ“š This #InternationalWomensDay, a little reading on the West African context πŸ‘‡πŸΎ

Our partners spent 3 years preparing our report on the transition to #agroecology in West Africa. It was (and remains) abundantly clear how critical #women are to this transition 🌿

🧡Thread /1
"#Women produce between 40-80% of food in the region and playing a leading role in local #food distribution and street vending in West Africa." #IWD2021

πŸ“– ipes-food.org/_img/upload/fi…

πŸ”Ž But data measuring the share of food produced, processed & sold by women remains inherently complex & varies across countries. In fact, β€œquantifying the share of food produced by women involves making many arbitrary assumptions about gender roles in the production process.” /3
