Our global food system, which relies heavily on factory farming, is wreaking havoc on our soil and our environment. In this week's episode, Philip Lymbery joins Evanna and Melanie to chat about his book "Sixty Harvests Left," in which he points out that if we don't change our ways, factory farming will cause catastrophic climate change—and we could face a future without soil and, consequently, without food. In this enlightening conversation, Philip, Evanna, and Melanie discuss how we can change course, emphasizing the role of individual choices, collective action, and the enduring power of hope for a brighter future for animals, people, and our planet. Philip Lymbery is Global Chief Executive of the international farmed animal welfare organisation Compassion in World Farming. He is Visiting Professor at the University of Winchester in the UK; a Leadership Fellow of St George's House, Windsor Castle; Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics; and President of Eurogroup for Animals, a Brussels-based umbrella body of 80 leading animal welfare societies in Europe. He was appointed a UN ambassadorial “Champion” for the 2021 Food Systems Summit in New York. Lymbery is an animal advocate, naturalist, photographer, and author. He regularly writes and speaks internationally on animal ethics and the global effects of factory farming, including its impact on animal welfare, wildlife, soil and natural resources, biodiversity, and climate change. His most recent books include "Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat." "Dead Zone: Where the Wild Things Were," and "Sixty Harvests Left: How to Reach a Nature-Friendly Future."

Out team attended the Regenerative Agriculture and Food Systems Summit, organised by Kiasko Research in order to catalyse a regenerative transition in the food industry. The event was attended by large corporations such as Nestle, Unilever and Yara, as well as numerous companies and organisation that work actively with Regen Ag on the ground. We attended the conference as media partners, producing mini-interviews with a diversity of summit attendees. The objective of this episode is try and understand the value of the strategies being implemented by large corporations, as well as the way in which technical and specialised companies are working to scale Regen Ag. Whilst many of our listeners may not feel aligned with some of the companies we have interviewed, we believe in the value of having open and objective conversations with all players in the field, in order for each of us to form our own opinion. We also believe that the food corporations are hugely influential in the food system today, and must be considered if we are rapidly scale regenerative agriculture. We hope you enjoy this rather different episode!

Die Agenda 2030 für nachhaltige Entwicklung der Vereinten Nationen ist die Grundlage für die Politik der Regierungen, die Landwirtschaft einzuschränken und die Lebensmittelsysteme in verschiedenen Teilen der Welt umzugestalten. So erklärt es Alex Newman, ein preisgekrönter internationaler Journalist, der seit über einem Jahrzehnt über dieses Thema berichtet. Die Agenda ist ein von den Vereinten Nationen (UN) ausgearbeiteter Aktionsplan zur Erreichung von 17 Zielen für nachhaltige Entwicklung (SDG). Diese Ziele wurden 2015 von allen UN-Mitgliedstaaten angenommen. Der damalige Generalsekretär der Vereinten Nationen, Ban Ki-moon, bezeichnete die Agenda 2030 als „die globale Erklärung der gegenseitigen Abhängigkeit“, so Newman kürzlich in einem Interview in der Epoch-TV-Sendung „Crossroads“. „Meiner Meinung nach war das ein direkter Angriff auf unsere Unabhängigkeitserklärung (...). Anstatt unabhängige Nationen zu sein, werden wir jetzt alle voneinander abhängig sein.“Ein Standpunkt von Ella Kietlinska und Joshua Philipp.Hinweis zum Beitrag: Der vorliegende Text erschien zuerst im „Rubikon – Magazin für die kritische Masse“, in dessen Beirat unter anderem Daniele Ganser und Hans-Joachim Maaz aktiv sind.

Wir brauchen viele alternative Medien!Die Agenda 2030 „deckt jedes Element des menschlichen Lebens, jedes Element der Wirtschaft ab“, einschließlich der globalen Umverteilung des Reichtums nicht nur innerhalb der Nationen, sondern auch zwischen den Nationen, kommentierte Newman. „In der Agenda heißt es ausdrücklich, dass wir die Art und Weise, wie wir konsumieren und Güter produzieren, ändern müssen“, fügte er hinzu. Ziel Nummer zwei der 2030-Agenda befasst sich speziell mit der Ernährung, so Newman.Im September 2021 veranstalteten die Vereinten Nationen den Food Systems Summit, auf dem die Notwendigkeit betont wurde, die Kraft der Lebensmittelsysteme zu nutzen, um alle 17 Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung bis 2030 zu erreichen, heißt es in einer Erklärung der Vereinten Nationen.„Jeder, überall, muss handeln und zusammenarbeiten, um die Art und Weise, wie die Welt Lebensmittel produziert, konsumiert und darüber denkt, zu verändern“, heißt es in der Erklärung.Die Übernahme von AckerlandDie Agenda für nachhaltige Entwicklung entstand in den 1970er-Jahren, als die Vereinten Nationen 1976 auf einer Konferenz in Vancouver/Kanada versuchten, sie zu definieren. sagte Newman....weiterlesen hier: https://apolut.net/die-abhaengigkeitserklaerung-von-ella-kietlinska-und-joshua-philipp/+++Dieser Beitrag erschien am 13.8.2022 bei Rubikon - Magazin für die kritische Masse.+++Bildquelle: shutterstock / Zoran Zeremski+++Apolut ist auch als kostenlose App für Android- und iOS-Geräte verfügbar!

Der Hunger schien als direkte Bedrohung für das Leben von Millionen von Menschen bis vor kurzem fast überwunden, auch wenn die mittel- bis langfristigen Auswirkungen des Klimawandels bereits in Form von Dürren, Überschwemmungen und Missernten spürbar wurden. Der Angriffskrieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine, zwei der wichtigsten Getreideproduzenten und -Exporteure weltweit, führt jedoch derzeit zu einem massiven Preisanstieg vor allem beim Grundnahrungsmittel Getreide. Hunderte von Millionen von Menschen auf der ganzen Welt sind davon direkt betroffen, es drohen nach Einschätzung von internationalen Expert*innen massive Auswirkungen auf die Lebensmittelversorgung in vielen Regionen der Erde. Der fortschreitende Klimawandel verschärft diese Krise. Mit Dr. Martin Frick sprechen Luca und Stefan darüber, wie sich die momentane Ernährungssituation darstellt, welche Auswirkungen der Krieg und Klimawandel heute schon haben. Vor allem aber spricht das Panel darüber, welche mittel- bis langfristigen Maßnahmen getroffen werden müssen, um die Ernährungsversorgung der Weltbevölkerung dauerhaft sicherzustellen – in Form von Anpassung von landwirtschaftlichen Produktionssystemen, aber auch durch die direkte Bekämpfung des Klimawandels. Martin Frick leitet das Büro des World Food Programme für Deutschland, Österreich und Liechtenstein in Berlin. Zuvor war er Sondergesandter des UN-Generalsekretärs für den „Food Systems Summit 2021“ und hatte leitende Funktionen beim UNFCCC-Sekretariats, bei der UN-Welternährungsorganisation (FAO), beim Auswärtigen Amt und auch bei Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen inne.

With the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) having just occurred, Aaron Zober welcomes Seth Itzkan of Soil4Climate (https://www.facebook.com/groups/Soil4Climate) to The Appropriate Omnivore podcast. Seth is an environmental futurist advocating for holistic land management in order to reverse climate change. He makes a visit to the show having just been to the U.N. Food Systems Summit where he and his team presented a paper on regenerative agriculture. After the Food Systems Summit he also attended COP26 and was able to address people there about holistic management. As he's on a program called The Appropriate Omnivore, Aaron has him address the meaty issue of why animals are needed for regenerative agriculture and reducing carbon emissions. Seth then gets into what foods we need to eat less of and what he'd like to see as the theme for next year's Climate Change Conference.

Achieving something known as net zero – in other words, balancing the amount of greenhouse gas produced by an activity and the amount removed from the atmosphere – is a key focus of leaders in the global livestock industry and among food manufacturers and retailers. What will it take to achieve net zero, and how will the effort affect food production and consumption around the globe?Pathways to Dairy Net Zero, a ground-breaking new climate initiative, has launched with some 40 leading organizations, including 11 of the 20 largest dairy companies in the world, declaring their support for the effort. Collectively, these supporters represent approximately 30% of total milk production worldwide.The new climate initiative demonstrates the global dairy sector's commitment to reducing GHG emissions while continuing to produce nutritious foods for six billion people and provide for the livelihoods of one billion people.In a recent edition of Feedstuffs 365, our Sarah Muirhead sat down Donald Moore of the Global Dairy Platform to find out more about achieving net zero. Moore also provided an update on the recent U.N. Food Systems Summit.This podcast was sponsored by Arm & Hammer Animal and Food Production and their #ScienceHearted podcast, “Food Chain Chats.

“Too much is not a good thing” Every time we go to the grocery store, we are surrounded by a seemingly infinite bounty of food. We may choose a yogurt thinking it is a healthy option only to realize it has as much sugar as a doughnut. Surrounded by choice, children in America and around the world are not getting the nutrition they need to grow healthy and strong. In the second episode of Better Food. Better World., we talk about who is at the ‘top' of the food chain and uncover the growing nutrition crisis raging from food deserts in the US to parts of Africa living on the edge of food security. Host Elizabeth Nyamayaro is in New York for this episode surrounded by an abundance of food choices. But this episode's guests, Dr. Agnes Kalibata, UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy to the 2021 Food Systems Summit; Stephen Grimaldi, Executive Director of New York Common Pantry; and Lauren Bush Lauren, Founder and CEO of FEED, reveal the truth about all of the choice: much of the food we eat lacks nutritional value. What's worse, children and our climate are paying the price. Finally, David Beasley, Executive Director of the World Food Programme challenges audience members at the UN Food Systems Summit with the question, “If we're so rich, how come hunger still exists?” From the top of the food chain to the bottom, hunger is an ‘all of us' issue. Key Moments 3:35 - Elizabeth shares how an abundance of food choices shaped her childhood and her life in New York City. 6:57 - Dr. Agnes Kalibata alerts listeners to the growing nutritional crisis and food deserts. 10:55 - Elizabeth visits a leading New York food pantry and speaks with Stephen Grimaldi. 17:50 - Lauren Bush Lauren shares why she wanted to make a difference by giving children healthy food. 29:20 - Exec. Director David Beasley's urgent call to action at the UN Food Systems Summit. Selected Links: https://www.wfp.org/ Listeners can support New York Common Pantry by donating or volunteering.

Following the success of UN Food Systems Summit, or as it's also known- “The People's Summit” we get a chance to speak to the driving force behind it, UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Food Systems Summit, Agnes Kalibata. Formerly Rwanda's Minister of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) from 2008 to 2014, she drove programs that moved her country to food security helping to lift more than a million Rwandans out of poverty. Now as Special Envoy, her efforts toward progress of the delivery of the SDGs, and to prioritise Food Systems in the global conversation around climate change are coming to a 2 year culmination. Besides this summit being the first time the UN has called a summit dedicated to food systems, it is engaging more than 100,000 people from 147 countries through 900 independent multi-stakeholder dialogues on food system transformation. UN Summits are often mostly prepared statements by member states. This move to put people and dialogue at the center was a radical return to destroying our siloed thinking when it comes to global issues. The Food Revolution begins with a Thought Revolution, and people are at the heart of systemic change. — Christiana + Tom's book ‘The Future We Choose' is available now!

Essen ist lebenswichtig und macht Spass. Doch gesundes Essen für Milliarden von Menschen zu produzieren, ohne die Umwelt zu zerstören, ist eine riesige Herausforderung. Mit Lösungsansätzen für die Probleme der Welternährung befasst sich die UNO am bevorstehenden Food Systems Summit 2021 in New York. Im «Trend» fragen wir: Was können junge, innovative Nahrungsmittel-Firmen in der Schweiz beitragen zur Bewältigung der Probleme. Und was brauchen solche Startups, um durchstarten zu können? Dazu kommt: Technologie allein genüge nicht, um die Nahrungsmittelproduktion nachhaltig zu verändern, warnen die Hilfswerke. Sie vertreten die Bäuerinnen und Bauern aus dem globalen Süden.

This episode was recorded live in front of a virtual audience in advance of a key meeting at the United Nations known as the Food Systems Summit. This episode is produced in partnership with CGIAR, the world's largest agricultural innovation network and features a panel discussion examining the links between food systems and action needed to confront climate change.
Idag är var tionde människa i världen undernärd, samtidigt som var fjärde är överviktig. Det är långt kvar till att nå de globala Agenda 2030-målen som "ingen hunger" och "ingen fattigdom" - men tiden är knapp. Den 23 september 2021 samlas världens ledare till det digitala FN-toppmötet Food Systems Summit. Vad kan ett sådant toppmöte åstadkomma? Möt Lisa Sennerby Forsse, Sveriges enda representant i toppmötets vetenskapliga expertgrupp, kanslirådet Peter af Wetterstedt på Näringsdepartementet som inte ser toppmötet som ett slut utan som en början - och Carolina Rodriguez Gonzalez, en av de forskare i världen som väljer att bojkotta Food Systems Summit.
In this month's edition we continue to focus on the first ever UN Food Systems Summit and we'll be hearing from IFAD's President Gilbert Houngbo and hearing the messages for the Summit from farmers living in developing countries. We talk to Ertharin Cousin, one of the official Champions of the Summit, CEO and President of Food Systems for the Future, and ex-head of the World Food Programme. Also we'll have Jonathan Davies, lead on agriculture at the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Both of them will talk about how we can make food systems work better for people and nature. Coming up there's news on aquaponics – how it can be combined with vertical farming. And the latest on technological innovation in pig farming from China. We talk to one of our newest Recipes for Change chefs Roy Caceres from Colombia and what inspires him. Plus the fine people at Too Good To Go tell us how we can all use their app to cut down on food waste. And there's the final part of our Rural Voices series. This is Farms. Food.

The UN Special Envoy for the 2021 Food Systems Summit has invited all sectors of society to share their perspectives and solutions. Independent Food Systems Summit Dialogues are being convened around the world both before and after the Summit, effectively crowdsourcing sustainable solutions to strengthen local and global food system. This summit dialogue will explore the role of agricultural biotechnology in transforming food systems for the better by increasing the yields, efficiency or resilience of staple crops. The line up of global speakers includes: Graham Brookes, PG Economics – UK; Motlatsi Musi, farmer, South Africa; Aileen Garcia, International Rice Research Institute – Philippines; Arif Hossain, CEO of Farming Future Bangladesh; Vitumbiko Chinoko, Open Forum on Agricultural Biotechnology, Kenya; André Tomas Vilela Hermann, Synthetic Biology Club – Brazil; John Komen, Komen Bioscience Consultancy, Netherlands; Navneet Kaur, Indian post-doctoral researcher, Rothamsted Research – UK; Daniel Norero, Neocrop Technologies, Chile; Joseph Opoku Gakpo, Ghana Agricultural and Rural Development Journalists Association; and convenor Pablo Orozco, Alliance for Science, Berlin.
The Covid-19 crisis has exacerbated the already existing deep structural problems of corporate and increasingly globalized food systems. A radical, human rights-based and agroecological transformation of food systems is more urgent than ever. As the United Nations gears itself to hold the 2021 version of the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS), activists and analysts are sounding the alarm that this year's event is not building on the legacy of past World Food Summits, which resulted in the creation of innovative, inclusive and participatory global food governance mechanisms anchored in human rights, such as the reformed UN Committee on World Food Security (the CFS). This year's Food Systems Summit follows a strong multi-stakeholder approach, which puts on equal footing governments, corporations, other private sector actors, philanthropies, scientists, and NGOs. Critics argue that, while the FSS organizers aim to create an illusion of inclusiveness, it remains unclear who is in control of taking decisions and by what procedures those decisions are made. Our guest on the podcast, Paula Gioia, is a peasant farmer, a beekeeper based in Germany. She works on a community farm, and is part of the European Coordination of La Via Campesina. La Via Campesina is an international movement bringing together millions of peasants, small and medium size farmers, landless people, rural women and youth, indigenous people, migrants and agricultural workers from around the world. Built on a strong sense of unity, and solidarity between these groups, it defends peasant agriculture and strongly opposes corporate driven agriculture that destroys social relations and nature. La Via Campesina believes that this year's summit is opening up UN processes to the private sector. It is privileging the corporate elites, and the process behind it has been opaque, exclusive and has ignored the autonomy of People's Movements. Paula explains what kind of 'food regime' or 'food system' is needed today, right now, and how we can bring it about. What are the main obstacles today to making fully real and accessible for everyone a genuine and meaningful 'human right to food'?

EPISODE EIGHT: Join the Conversation Host: Aaron Niederhelman, Sourcing Matters podcast Guest: Dr. Agnes Kalibata, UN Special Envoy for Food System Summit _______ 'Laying Down Tracks' ep.8: What better way to finish off the UN FSS Pre-Summit than to listen to the last episode of the Laying Down Tracks series with guest and UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy to the 2021 Food Systems Summit, Dr. Agnes Kalibata. This episode touches on a lot of ground but focuses on the importance of the summit being a “people's summit” and on the significance of having all voices be part of the Summit process to achieve true food systems transformation and meet all 17 SDG's. Whatever problem a country or community is struggling with there is a solution to match. “The fact that too many people are going hungry does not mean that we aren't producing enough. The challenge is in the inequities that live in our food systems. Through the solution clusters we have been able to mobilize and identify game changing ideas that have been consolidated into 52 solutions,” says Dr. Kalibata as she describes how these innovative solutions can help solve specific challenges in Food Systems. Don't miss this last episode on the importance of all actors coming together for true food system transformation and learn more about Dr. Kalibata's journey on how she came to be so passionate about helping bring this change. https://www.un.org/en/food-systems-summit/laying-down-tracks www.SourcingMatters.show

Den storskaliga matproduktionen världen över har länge varit ohållbar. Både vad det gäller vår påverkan på jorden och på människorna som lever i dom mest utsatta områdena, som oftast är dom som producerar vår mat. Ungefär en tredjedel av all mat i världen slängs, vilket belastar jordens resurser och ekonomin. Hur och vad ska vi äta i framtiden för att dels kunna föda alla, men även göra det i samklang med naturen omkring oss? Är framtidens mat redan här i form av nygamla bönor och food tech som bara väntar på att rullas ut internationellt? Och kan FN-mötet Food Systems Summit hjälpa världens nationer att hitta en hållbar väg framåt?Det här ska vi utforska i det här avsnittet av Schysst Mat.Till vår hjälp i dag har vi Johanna Öhlén Meschke, marknadschef på Urban Oasis som odlar grönsaker i ett bergrum nära Stockholm, och så Per Olsson Fridh, Sverige biståndsminister om det kommande FN-mötet.
LA BUNDESBANK AUSPICA IL RITORNO AL RIGORE FINANZIARIOIl Programma di emergenza della Banca centrale europea per l'acquisto di titoli di Stato dei Paesi membri dell' Eurozona, volto a far fronte alla crisi sanitaria ( il cosiddetto Pepp), deve terminare con la fine della pandemia. Ad affermarlo è il presidente della Bundesbank, Jens Weidmann, nel corso di un'intervista rilasciata al quotidiano “Handelsblatt”. In particolare, secondo Weidmann, il Pepp dovrà chiudersi quando l'emergenza per cui è stato creato sarò terminata : infatti, per il presidente della Banca centrale tedesca, i presupposti per la normalizzazione della politica monetaria della Bce sono “una solida ripresa economica e la scadenza delle misure per il contenimento della pandemia”. Al riguardo, Weidmann ha osservato di aspettarsi che entrambe le condizioni si verifichino nel 2022. Avviato a marzo del 2020, il Pepp ha attualmente una dotazione di 1.850 miliardi di euro e una durata prevista fino ad almeno la fine di marzo del 2022SENZA MICROCHIP CHIUDONO AUDI E VOLVO IN BELGIOLa carenza di semiconduttori nel comparto automobilistico porta a nuovi stop produttivi per il settore. Questa volta ad annunciare interruzioni sono Audi e Volvo negli stabilimenti che hanno in Belgio. In particolare, la linea produttiva di Audi nello stabilimento di Bruxelles resterà chiusa da martedì a venerdì prossimi, mentre il sito di Volvo a Ghent interromperà la sua produzione per l'intera settimanaIL 24 GIUGNO INIZIA IMPORTANTE EVENTO SUL CIBODue giorni di dirette e collegamenti in live streaming da tutta Italia, oltre 50 appuntamenti, più di 100 ospiti di livello internazionale, 14 panel tematici. E' questo il programma di “Buono! Storie italiane di agricoltura, territori e cibo sostenibili”, l'evento che racconta l'importanza del cibo per il nostro futuro e che punta ad affermare il valore della sostenibilità come dimensione imprescindibile per il benessere sociale, culturale, ambientale ed economico ed a cui hanno già assicurato la loro partecipazione il Ministro degli Affari Esteri Luigi Di Maio il Ministro delle Politiche Agricole, Stefano Patuanelli e il Ministro per le Politiche Giovanili, Fabiana Dadone.La manifestazione che si svolgerà il 24 e 25 giugno è un'occasione importante per valorizzare i protagonisti del mondo delle imprese, della produzione, dell'alimentazione, del consumo di cibo e la cultura che gli si muove intorno. Un evento di avvicinamento al pre-vertice delle Nazioni Unite sui Sistemi Alimentari del 2021 che si terrà a Roma (19-21 luglio) e al Food Systems Summit (in programma a settembre a New York) e che pone particolare attenzione al contributo che le imprese possono fornire per promuovere sistemi agroalimentari più giusti, sani e attenti all'ambientePROMETEIA : CRESCITA DEL CREDITO ALLE FAMIGLIE PER TRE ANNIPresentate, per il 2021, le previsioni dell'ultima edizione dell'Osservatorio Assofin-Crif-Prometeia, che confermano come il ritorno alla crescita dell'attività economica ipotizzato per i prossimi trimestri, si rifletterà sulle condizioni finanziarie e sul clima di fiducia delle famiglie favorendo il ricorso al credito. La domanda di credito sarà sostenuta anche dalla ripresa dei consumi e dai bassi tassi di interesse per tutto il periodo di previsione. Nell'insieme gli stock di credito alle famiglie rafforzeranno i trend di crescita nel 2021, i quali proseguiranno anche nel biennio 2022-2023 a ritmi del 3 % medio annuo. Con l'avvio della ripresa economica, i flussi di credito al consumo torneranno, quindi, a crescere dopo la brusca frenata registrata nel 2020. Anche i flussi di prestiti per acquisto di abitazione saliranno ancora grazie al contributo dei nuovi prestiti, sostenuti dalla ripresa degli investimenti in costruzioni, da tassi di mercato favorevoli e dalle nuove necessità abitative create dalle diverse abitudini imposte dalla pandemia. Buone opportunità di crescita arriveranno anche dagli incentivi sulla riqualificazione energetica e dal bonus giovani contenuto nel decreto Sostegni bis
In collaboration with the UN FOOD SYSTEMS SUMMIT, Sourcing Matters has launched the 2021 miniseries 'Laying Down Tracks'. Joined by the Summit’s five Action Track leaders as cohosts of episodes, host Aaron Niederhelman curates an 8-part series featuring conversations with influencers and champions who are set on making this once in a decade gathering have impact. “Food is our most intimate connection to nature and our best chance to save a shrinking planet,” explains Sourcing Matters host Aaron Niederhelman. “It’s the food we eat that is the elixir to instigate conversations and evolve mindsets which can stave off existential threats. It’s food and its production that acts as the primary course of action for improving the human condition and advancing climate action,” Niederhelman continues. To amplify an appreciation for the role of well sourced food in addressing hunger, malnutrition, social welfare and climate change – Sourcing Matters show is collaborating with the UN Food Systems Summit to capture leading voices defining solutions of change. The goal of the miniseries is to crawl into the ears of more folks through diverse discussions about how we can all be part of this historical movement. Episodes take a deep dive into the Summit’s Action Tracks and frame these chats around real world experiences in rolling out the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to stimulate new perspectives. We believe that engaging in fun, informal and informative conversations gives us all a better chance to get to know a bit more about the mettle of the people who are leading the fight for a more just and stable tomorrow. You see, In all corners the process of producing and sourcing food in a modern world has evolved with consequence on our health and that of the planet. “Three times daily we can vote for the planet and each other in what we decide to eat,” concludes Niederhelman.

The United Nations global Food Systems Summit set for October 2021 will ultimately have a profound influence on our farms, our food, and the overall well being of our planet. As it stands now, multinational corporations are in the driver's seat. The farmers, food workers, and consumers of the world--civil society--are out of the circuit of true power. They fear corporate domination and greenwashing in a time when extreme global circumstances call for true, healthy, and just agroecology. Consequently, civil society organizations are boycotting the summit, and pursuing their own vision for farms and food--the vision of agroecology. This podcast is available in written form on my DeepAgroecology.net blog. Follow this link: https://deepagroecology.org/2021/02/17/global-food-systems-summit/
