Sowing feminist presents, agroecology and food sovereignty in the face of violence.

FREE PARTICIPATION

At this moment of chaos and interconnected crises, marked by climate change, biodiversity loss, democratic backsliding and the expansion of armed conflicts we are witnessing a rapid erosion of collective rules. Wars are devastating lives, territories and the climate, while food is being used as a weapon. In this context, the need to advance food sovereignty, agroecology, and feminism is more urgent than ever.

To achieve this, we must come together and learn from our diverse struggles and experiences. International solidarity, grounded in reciprocity, recognition, and respect remains a key force of resistance, mobilization and hope. Building and strengthening alliances across movements, researchers, and civil society is therefore essential.

Despite experiencing multiple intersecting forms of oppression, peasants, workers, migrants, agricultural labourers, Indigenous peoples, and Afro-descendant communities confront systemic injustices and build concrete alternatives to dominant agri-food systems—linking social, gender, and environmental justice through political action and non-extractivist solidarity economies. We are building sustaining food systems through agroecological practices under increasingly adverse conditions, while building networks of solidarity.

Around the world, people are showing us that alternatives exist: they are living proof. At the same time, grass-roots movements are advancing transformative proposals rooted in intersectional feminist ethics of care, non-violence, equality, solidarity, and human rights. They are also defending and revitalizing traditional and Indigenous knowledge linked to land, seeds, and food systems, defending pathways toward futures grounded in peace and justice.

In this context, we are creating spaces for horizontal discussions and creation of alliances among social movements, researchers and civil society to advance feminist agroecology and solidarity across the world.
