这U.N.Food Systems Summit(UNFSS) will take place in New York on September 23. But超过300民间社会组织和土著团体由于担心排除议程制定过程而在抵制该事件。
这U.N. Secretary General announced the convening of the UNFSS on World Food Day 2019 to drive meaningful change in the food system and achieve theSustainable Development Goals（可持续发展目标）到2030年。自成立以来，首脑会议已承诺吸引来自整个食品系统的利益相关者，包括农民和渔民，政府，企业和民间社会。
但是，随着对UNS的计划进行，食品系统领导者开始质疑私营部门在其组织中的影响力。Olivier De Schutter博士和Olivia Yambi，共同主席国际可持续食品系统专家小组(IPES-Food),critiqued“导致粮食系统峰会的不透明过程”。他们写道，峰会“来自联合国和世界经济论坛（WEF）之间的封闭式谈判”，领导职务“向高科技，高成本的支持者表示赞助‘green revolution’approaches.”
Civil society organizations also worry that the technological solutions being proposed by the UNFSS will threaten the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, peasants, and Indigenous peoples, since they have not been meaningfully consulted in these processes.
这ETC组找到全世界70％的人口是由小型生产商和农民组成的多样化网络所供养的，并且该群体使用农业生产中所需的资源的不到25％。相比之下，工业食物链仅饲养全球30％，同时使用了超过75％的资源。
“Farmers’ traditional knowledge of food systems, and of methods likeagroecology, is one of the most valuable resources that we have,” Thea Walmsley, Communications Manager at一种成长的文化（AGC）告诉食品坦克。w88优德老虎机平台作为农民权利组织，AGC正在支持和扩大民间社会团体来应对峰会。
Despite sharing these concerns, some groups are still participating in the UNFSS, hoping to influence its outcomes. For example, youth campaigners of the initiativeAct4Food Act4Change正在努力使年轻人在UNPS上发表声音。
ACT4Food Act4Change的青年领导人将向世界各地100,000多名年轻人共同签署的UNPS，敦促领导人优先考虑食品系统中的个人，社区和行星健康。
“As young people we’re powerful, we can take action,” Lana Weidgenant, youth leader of Act4Food Act4Change,告诉食品坦克w88优德老虎机平台. “But we need the support of the decision-makers in, for instance, governance and business.”
但是一些民间社会团体认为干预还不够，并且完全撤出。IPES食品撤回了its involvement, and international peasants’ movement,La Via Campesina(LVC), recently宣布他们也抵制了峰会。
土地工人联盟（LWA）是LVC的成员，因为人们担心UNPS优先考虑利润而不是人权。LWA的食品司法政策协调员Dee Woods告诉Food Tank：“该过程的多利益相关者无法将受到任何政策影响最大的人集中。”w88优德老虎机平台
Woods believes that “hard-fought for democratic and inclusive processes within the U.N.,” are being bypassed in setting the agenda. This includes theCivil Society and Indigenous Peoples’ Mechanism（CSM），它为联合国食品和农业组织的更多代表提供了小规模生产商的代表世界粮食安全委员会（CFS），引起讨论food sovereigntyand agroecology in food systems debates.
Civil society organizations “have been invited to ‘participate’ in the Summit, but only in the shallow sense, meaning being able to join sessions or ‘give their input,’” says Walmsley.
In response to the lack of democratic decision-making at the Summit, and the erasure of peasants’ rights in talks, several counter-mobilizations to the UNFSS are springing up across the world.
In June, the LWA held its own virtualPeople’s Food Summit对于英国粮食正义运动的组织和个人。他们还计划在2022年举行为期三天的面对面的人民食品峰会。
And theGlobal People’s Summit on Food Systems, organized by the People’s Coalition on Food Sovereignty (PCFS), will bring together rural peoples, peasant organizations, and civil society groups. This Global South-led counter-summit plans to develop a People’s Action Plan to transform the food system.
Walmsley hopes these counter-mobilizations “will raise awareness about the lack of equity that exists in conversations about the future of food systems.”
伍兹告诉《食品坦克》：“我们想建立一个基于多样性，人权，正义和公平的农业生态期货的变化，”伍兹告诉食品坦克，“一个与其他斗争和全球其他人的人团结一致。”w88优德老虎机平台
