We don’t need to invent new solutions in #foodsystems. Indigenous communities have been sustainably looking after their land & resources for centuries. It’s the economic model that endangers them that needs to change - says @rukshanasn of @landcoalition #netzero #cop27 @iatp

There’s a proliferation of #netzero pledges. But carbon credit schemes are a climate Wild West. They’re not permanent, they detract from the primary need to drastically reduce #fossilfuels, & will lead to the largest land grab in history, says @kirtanaSekaran of @FoEint #cop27

Today at #COP27 , @IATP & @IPESfood on #NetZero pledges in the food system. We’re evaluating these pledges, especially those of global livestock giants. Follow along ⬇️
IPES-Food@IPESfood

Giant livestock companies are making #netzero pledges. But these just mean collecting data from farmers, tweaking efficiency, and buying carbon offsets. None represents a wholesale change or cut in greenhouse gases. It’s greenwashing - says @IATPEurope youtube.com/channel/UCpf8z…

We're very proud of & thankful for current funding from @USDA_NRCS's Office of Urban Agriculture & Innovative Production & hope that integrated food policies, especially across urban, peri-urban, & rural municipalities remains a key priority! @rosadelauro @ChrisMurphyCT @NRCS_CT
IPES-Food@IPESfood

@LathaSwamy of @cityofnewhaven explains how funding remains a challenge to implement local food policies, but state & federal funds are slowly being put in place to support municipal action on #environmentaljustice, #climatechange & #equity in the food system. #GlasgowDeclaration

Civil society & social movements can fight back against corporate capture & concentration of power, which would boost post-pandemic #resilience, slash agriculture’s #GHG emissions by 75%, & shift $4 trillion to sustainable food and #farming. bit.ly/longfood @FoodSystems
IPES-Food@IPESfood

NEW 📰 IPES-Food & @ETC_Group launch the #LongFoodMovement report | What would 2045 look like if it's still "agribusiness-as-usual"? Or can civil society & social movements prevail for healthy, equitable & sustainable #foodsystems? 🌍 Discover more at bit.ly/longfood 🌱

We made history. We mobilized the AAPI vote in Georgia + helped to elect @ReverendWarnock. This was possible because of BIPOC community organizers, volunteers, + leaders who gave their time, resources, and skills to talk to AAPI communities here in Georgia. #AllEyesOnGeorgia

Thanks for joining! The @cityofnewhaven - @MayorElicker & @LathaSwamy @NHVfoodpolicy - is working hard to respond to residents' interest in healthier school food by exploring sustainable & ethical food procurement through the #GFPP @center4goodfood #GlasgowDeclaration #COP26
Anna Lappé@annalappe

Tuning into a global summit of local leaders talking about food-climate solutions. Nice shout out to the power of procurement—$150 billion/yr on food here in the U.S.—and specifically the Good Food Purchasing Program. More info: goodfoodcities.org #GlasgowDeclaration #Cop26
