The United Nations global Food Systems Summit set for October 2021 will ultimately have a profound influence on our farms, our food, and the overall well being of our planet.

They fear corporate domination and greenwashing in a time when extreme global circumstances call for true, healthy, and just agroecology. Consequently, civil society organizations are boycotting the summit, and pursuing their own vision for farms and food--the vision of agroecology.
