The food crises of 2007-2008, the cause of the “hunger riots” in several so-called developing countries, did not reveal a food shortage but problems accessing the food. These problems were the result of the development of an agricultural model, capitalist operation with workers, that does not meet the food-related needs of individuals with no or little money. The growth of this model is hindering the achievement of food sovereignty and security1.

In recent years, acceleration of the land seizing process and the concentration of land and natural resources (water, seeds, fishing resources, forests etc.) threaten their proper use by the majority of families and rural communities. In particular, these processes are endangering the agricultural production of the hundreds of millions of farmers who feed themselves, and already cover over 70% of the world’s food needs despite all the constraints they face.
