SUMMARY:International Day of Action Against the WTO and Free Trade Agreements
DESCRIPTION:The Agreement on Agriculture (AoA)\, which forms the core of the WTO’s food and agriculture trade policies\, continues to wreak havoc on people’s lives. Over the past 30 years\, La Via Campesina has consistently highlighted the negative and devastating effects of WTO policies on both people and the planet. Whenever the WTO convened its ministerial meetings to advance these harmful policies\, La Via Campesina’s organized peasant groups took to the streets to expose its falsehoods and deceit. As the World Trade Organization subsequently entered a state of limbo\, numerous regional and bilateral free trade agreements began to proliferate\, with many of them resembling the highly detrimental Agreement on Agriculture. Thus\, whether with or without the WTO\, global trade remains entangled in these opaque agreements\, frequently negotiated behind closed doors without public consultation or debates. \nDuring the last Ministerial meeting in Geneva in 2022\, La Via Campesina declared that the time had come to dismantle the WTO\, discard the Agreement on Agriculture\, put an end to harmful free trade agreements and establish a new trade framework for global agricultural trade based on principles of food sovereignty\, solidarity\, and internationalism. A new framework that respects and upholds the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (UNDROP)! \nIt called on World Trade Organization member states\, particularly those from the Global South\, to lead the charge in creating this framework and establishing it as the bedrock of global trade. The global food crisis\, resulting in increasing global hunger\, exacerbated by speculative commodity trading practices\, pandemics\, conflicts and wars\, is glaring evidence of a flawed global food system that primarily benefits transnational agribusiness. Numerous reports have highlighted how\, even in the face of growing global hunger\, a handful of large agribusiness corporations continued to accumulate profits through speculative practices. The Agreement on Agriculture serves as a pact to secure perpetual profits for agribusinesses\, disregarding the suffering of peasants\, individuals\, and the environment. \nFor this reason\, as we commemorate the International Day of Action against the WTO and Free Trade Agreements on September 10th\, La Via Campesina will intensify this struggle for an alternative. We will lead the effort to construct this new framework through direct involvement of peasants and numerous other small-scale food producers. We will collaborate with our governments and civil society partners to generate political pressure in support of this new paradigm.

SUMMARY:RIPESS Europe GA 2023
DESCRIPTION:The 12th Congress and General Assembly (GA) of RIPESS Europe – Solidarity Economy Europe will be held from the 19th to 21th September 2023 at La Bergerie de Villarceaux (Paris\, France)\, with the support of the FPH (Foundation for human progress). This GA is the opportunity to meet again and celebrate the 12th Anniversary of the network in a convivial atmosphere and to continue planning together following the Strategic orientations approved in September 2022. \nAs climate and ecological issues are becoming more and more central to our choice of destination\, we thought of holding the GA every two years in Villarceaux : because of its location – easy to reach from most European countries – relatively central as well as the possibility of arriving in PARIS by train / bus / plane (if necessary) from most European cities. \nThe meeting focuses on the development of the European network 12 years from its foundation. New members are expected from different European countries and guests from other networks and organisations.  Since it is a residential meeting\, participants are expected to stay the whole time.  Places are limited.
