💥NEW PAPER💥
When the companies that manage essentials like food reap record profits from disasters, there is little hope for resilience. Macro policy cannot fix this. We need a new stabilization paradigm starting from buffer stocks. A 🧶

Leonida Ogondo @HakiNawiri , Kenya, at #CFS51 side-event on Inequalities says “Women produce the food, but it’s men who control productive resources. We need to tackle patriarchy and create systems that allow for equity in ownership and control of land.” #CFSGender #Weexist

[HLPE-FSN @hlpe_cfs]

🔴🧵The HLPE-FSN report highlights the ethical, socioeconomic, legal & practical imperatives for addressing inequalities.

It emphasizes that food is a fundamental human right and that inequalities in #FoodSecurity and #Nutrition undermine this right.

@StopCorpAbuse @GISAMAC2 @FCTCofficial @AshOrg @CLAS_Saludable @IPESfood @futureoffoodorg Hala Barakat: Monitoring corporate actions is crucial. Corporate-driven policies lurk nearby, but public awareness and campaigns can tip the scale. Mexico's push for social movements to combat conflicts of interest in policymaking is transforming food production dynamics. #CFS51
