This week in Rome, the HLPE-FSN drafting team is hard at work on the report "Building resilient food systems." Different positions and visions are coming together. The team is shaping definitions, examples, and pathways, and identifying gaps in both literature & practice.🧵

@NatashaFoote Zero risk, and its possible application, is the perfect way to reinforce Western exceptionalism, violate WTO (the deforestation criteria is replaced with legality) and promote forest degradation

🚨 The centre-right EPP has decided to withdraw amendments on the EU’s deforestation law, inc. doubling the delay to 2 years, according to a leaked internal group email (👇) Why? Because they’ve managed to get the Commission to “streamline & clarify” for them…

@NatashaFoote They didnt ask for the 2 years delay because now the whole implementation is subordinated to the introduction of the benchmark system at least 6 months in advance. So, potentially all blocked forever.

Honored to be part of drafting team for 2025 @hlpe_cfs report. An intellectual and policy challenge to reflect on resilient food systems at a time of intertwined socio ecological breakdowns & cooptation. How to bounce forward and elsewhere rather than back to unequal status quo?
HLPE-FSN@hlpe_cfs

The HLPE-FSN of the @UN_CFS is thrilled to announce the creation of its new drafting team, which has been selected to work on the upcoming HLPE-FSN report on “Building resilient food systems”. Find out more⤵️ fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe/i…

Financing just transition to sust & fair food systems is key & urgent. But we hear the same mantra as in climate: funding gap; blended finance; de-risking private $$. Subordinating future of food to banks and shareholders is not just nor fair. @CSM4CFS @EU_EESC @eaAgriFood

Enrollment is open for 2025 winter/summer school on Critical Approaches to Food Systems Law and Policy. Because law and policy alone will not revert the state of permanent food crises in which many food systems are, but we need more legal commitment. uantwerpen.be/en/summer-wint…

Israel must stop violent settler attacks on Palestinian farmers that threaten their olive harvest -UN experts warn. Restricting olive harvests, destroying orchards & banning access to water sources is an attempt by Israel to expand its illegal settlements. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Words can't capture aspects of the horror of Palestinian life during the current starvation campaign by Isr. Nor do words alone adequately provide a vision for a better future for Palestinians & the world. ➡️Illustrations from my newest report: ohchr.org/sites/default/… 🧵 /1

How was Isr. able to starve 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza at unprecedented speed and intensity? I answer this question in my new report. I'll be discussing my report with the @UN General Assembly on Friday, October 18. undocs.org/a/79/171 Here's a 🧵...

@NatashaFoote From food systems thinking to agricultural exceptionalism the regression is clear. Not enough to talk about diets and public procurement when poor working conditions all along the chain, food poverty, concentration of mkt power and shareholders primacy are common features.

90% of all labour that powers the world economy—and 93% of all manufacturing labour—is performed by workers in the global South. Any political theory that does not foreground Southern workers as key agents of revolutionary change is simply missing the point.

Israel is still murdering Palestinian academics, and most Western universities are still staying silent about these crimes
sawporg@sawporg

Israeli occupation forces killed Professor Ahmed Abu Labda of Islamic University of Gaza, his mother & daughter in a missile strike on their home in Gaza. Prof Abu Labda was a signatory of the powerful open letter by Gaza academics & admins to the world. May they rest in peace💔
