Pan-European Forum in Romania wraps up: food sovereignty takes root in Eastern Europe

After five days of discussions, the groundwork has been laid to take back, relocalise our food systems and multiply food sovereignty platforms across the continent by the participants from more than 40 countries who gathered at the second Nyéléni Europe Forum on Food Sovereignty. A huge diversity of people involved in the food system were present, including farmers, food and agricultural workers, trade unionists, researchers, activists, fisherfolk, pastoralists, indigenous peoples, consumers, and human rights defenders. A major accomplishment of this forum was the convergence of Eastern European and Central Asian organisations with their Western European counterparts.
