    June 4, 2021 -- An increasing number of countries are facing growing levels of acute food insecurity, reversing years of development gains. Even before COVID-19 reduced incomes and disrupted supply chains, chronic and acute hunger were on the rise due to various factors including conflict, socio-economic conditions, natural hazards, climate change and pests. COVID-19 impacts have led to severe and widespread increases in global food insecurity, affecting vulnerable households in almost every country, with impacts expected to continue through 2021 and into 2022.

    La terre a toujours été un bien très contesté. Le contrôle des terres et des ressources liées reflète les relations de pouvoir d’une région, d’un pays et constitue un indicateur des injustices sociales existantes. En même temps, ces ressources sont centrales dans la question des droits, des moyens d’existence et de l’identité de petits producteurs alimentaires. Depuis le début, elles ont été au cœur du mouvement pour la souveraineté alimentaire. Ce numéro de la Nyéléni Newsletter est la seconde édition de cette année consacrée au thème de la terre.

    LES PRATIQUES AGRO-ÉCOLOGIQUES RENFORCENT LES SYSTÈMES AGRICOLES ET ALIMENTAIRES


    La crise du Covid-19 révèle une fois de plus la vulnérabilité des systèmes alimentaires et leur manque de résilience : vulnérabilité de la production lorsqu’elle est dépendante de ressources importées (intrants, énergie…), vulnérabilité des consommateurs lorsque les marchés sont approvisionnés depuis des bassins de production éloignés, inégalité d’accès à une alimentation saine…

    In a world of food abundance, millions of people suffer from poor nutrition. In some parts of the world, the poor have inadequate access to energy from food to meet their energy requirements.

Elsewhere, there is a stable supply of energy but the poor have monotonous diets lacking in essential micronutrients.

    Le système actuel de « gouvernance alimentaire mondiale » n'offre pas de sécurité adéquate contre les crises alimentaires futures et n'offre pas de garantie de succès dans l'éradication de la faim chronique. En dépit d'un énorme accroissement de la production alimentaire, le nombre des personnes souffrant de la faim ne cesse d'augmenter. Pour inverser cette tendance, l'autorité et les pouvoirs du Comité de la sécurité alimentaire mondiale devraient être considérablement renforcés.
