Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 2007 Nyeleni Summit identified the pillars of food sovereignty, which include the rights of peasants, fishers, and indigenous peoples to access and control their own land, seeds, and resources, as well as the importance of local food systems and the need to prioritize the needs of small-scale producers and consumers over those of multinational corporations. It did not institutionalize food sovereignty as governmental policy, endorse the WTO free trade regime for agriculture, or shift the focus of La Vía Campesina towards the objective of food security.
