WEEK OF ACTION between the 10th and the 16th of October

++++Callout for a week of actions - Globalize struggle - globalize hope!++++

The 16th of October is the World Food Day. As we decided in Krems, the European Food Sovereignty Movement will engage in Europe-wide actions to make the World Food Day the World Food Sovereignty Day.
Therefore we call for A WEEK OF ACTION between the 10th and the 16th of October.

On the 12th October for example the Commission will present its legislative plans to reform the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Actions and/or reactions on this day are more than appropriate. Let's make it a visible and strong pan-european event!

Please announce your actions/activities on our webpage under "Actions" (first you have to register to the page here and then add your action here) and/or on our facebook site (facebook.com/Nyeleni2011). World Food day: http://www.fao.org/getinvolved/worldfoodday/en/

Declaration of Nyeleni Europe

FOOD SOVEREIGNTY IN EUROPE NOW!

Nyeleni Europe 2011: European Forum for Food Sovereignty

Krems, August 21^st

Europe’s people are now experiencing the first structural adjustment policies which governments are imposing on their populations that until now have been imposed on peoples in other regions in particular the Global South; this with the sole interest of saving capitalism and those who benefit from it (private banks, investment groups and transnational corporations). All signs are that in the near future these antisocial policies will become more severe and extensive. The first general mobilizations to denounce the economic and governance systems which have brought us to this point have begun and we offer - creatively and energetically – the response of European social movements to confront the model of global agriculture which is the exact reflection of the capitalist system that created it.
