#UNFSS2021 takes place under the direct corporate control. They decide what “sustainable” & “healthy” food means, convincing us that their solutions will be ecological enough to keep the current agrifood system intact. bit.ly/SameOldFailures#FoodSystems4People@CSM4CFS
The capital-intensive proprietary technologies & products proposed by #UNFSS2021 as “game changing solutions” are ecologically destructive, deepen extractivism colonialism patriarchy & inequality & open up more areas for corporate expansion and control. csm4cfs.org/no-to-corporat…
The urgent need to transition to biodiversity intensive ecological #FoodSystems includes a transition away from multistakeholderism & technofixes proposed by #UNFSS2021, which is actively choosing to ignore real root solutions bit.ly/EcoFoodSyst#foodsystems4people
An ever-increasing number of voices from outside & inside #UNFSS2021 share the view that the self-proclaimed “People’s Summit” is destined for failure, given its complex, corporate-friendly set-up. #foodsystems4peoplecsm4cfs.org/people-who-pro…
Hidden behind “multistakeholder initiatives” within the #UNFSS2021, powerful transnational corporations are directing policy making, financing, narratives and governance while promoting corporate-friendly, false solutions to food systems in crisis. We need #FoodSystems4People ✊🏾
Agribusiness, fossil fuel corporations, chemical companies & tech giants are using the @FoodSystems Summit for profit via carbon markets, intellectual property rights, a digital takeover of farming & other false solutions. We need a radical transformation & #FoodSystems4People✊🏾

#FakeFood products based on synthetic biology, artificial intelligence & biotechnology market themselves as eco-friendly, but they do not address the root problems of industrial agriculture & its environmental & health consequences bit.ly/SyntFoodNI22@drvandanashiva
The ‘plant-based’ label means very little if it is based on industrial models, monocultures, GMOs & other chemically intensive agricultural practices that lead to biodiversity loss, health problems and ecological degradation bit.ly/SyntFoodNI22@drvandanashiva#FakeFood
Synthetic Foods represent the next generation of ultra-processed junk foods, and a new means to consolidate even more power and profit into the hands of a few food giants bit.ly/SyntFoodNI22 #FakeFood@drvandanashiva
New publication by @NavdanyaInt: Bill Gates & his Fake solutions to #ClimateChange" - Technofixes, Industrial Ag, Billionaires Ventures, & Fake Food will not save our Planet - Biodiversity & Agroecology are True Solutions to Climate Change bit.ly/BGFakeSolut@drvandanashiva
Behind a humanitarian veil, Bill Gates favours the interests of corporations, promoting failed technological solutions that harm ecosystems & divert attention from the deep systemic changes needed to address the crises we are facing today bit.ly/BGFakeSolut@drvandanashiva
The common thread that runs through all Bill Gates' programs is the idea that innovation and the market will always save us, that any problem can (and should only) be solved through technology bit.ly/BGFakeSolut@drvandanashiva#Gates2GlobalEmpire
3/13 The perpetrators of the industrialized & now digitized predatory economic model that has led to worldwide ecological devastation are trying to sell us their solutions as the only path forward @drvandanashiva@NnimmoB#FalseSolutionsToClimateChange
The pattern usually goes something like this: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, through their funded media partners, raise an issue of their interest to the global agenda with a proposed technology solution. 2/10
Once that issue has gained enough traction, they begin to provide seed funding in the form of grants to start-up companies, research institutions and research departments of private companies in order to develop the technology that is intended to solve the problem raised. 3/10
