The ECI is a historic step forward in ensuring that every citizen in Europe has the fundamental right to food, aligning with the broader principles of food sovereignty and sustainable agriculture. It builds upon the long-standing work of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants (UNDROP) and the Right to Food Guidelines, which have been instrumental in shaping policies for food security and the protection of the rights of peasants, pastoralists, and Indigenous peoples across the globe. The Mater Fondazione has been at the forefront of advocating for these rights, focusing on the intersection of food, social justice, and environmental sustainability. This event will bring together voices from Africa and Europe to share their experiences, struggles, and successes in implementing these critical guidelines. We invite all stakeholders, civil society organizations, and the public to join this important discussion, led by key figures in the field, including the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Michael Fakhri, and experts from Switzerland, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, and the European Union. Programme Highlights: - Keynote Address by Michael Fakhri, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food. - Panel Discussion with experts on the rights of Indigenous peoples, peasant women, and the broader civil society perspective in Africa and Europe. - Official unveiling of the European Citizens' Initiative on the Right to Food by Christophe Golay from the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights. Date: 22 October 2024   Time: 13:30 - 14:45   Venue: FAO, Rome This is more than an event; it is a milestone in our collective journey towards realizing the right to food for all. Your participation will be invaluable in shaping a future where no one is denied this fundamental right.

The Food Commons Transition. Collective actions to produce, distribute and consume food differently We could design different food systems, whose main goal would be to feed people adequately, enabling food producers and food workers to earn a living. My proposal: to modify the normative valuation of food, from commodity to commons. Food as apubloc good, as we did in Europe for health and education at the beginning of XX century. https://lnkd.in/ekUSdfzZ

Interesting article on our food production and supply.

UK has become food policy “trailblazer” as EU strategy fails to deliver, say campaigners Many thanks to Elisabeth Mahase for covering our session chaired by Samuele Tonello and with fellow panelists eliza markidou, MEP Lena Schilling and Emma Calvert at Gastein last week! The UK has made important progress with the sugar tax but there is much much more to do. The UK's National Food Strategy is really great but it has also faced the same fate as Farm2Fork. We must do better in the UK and put the National Food Strategy into practice and we must do the same for Farm2Fork. This is our goal in FEAST - let's work together to overcome corporate and regulatory capture and get these important policies implemented! https://lnkd.in/gwCqn3MX
