There are more than 860 million hungry people in the world. Traditional food production like small-scale farming which aims to feed local people, is now being destroyed and replaced by large-scale agriculture created by transnational agribusiness. The climate crisis puts an additional threat on food production.

It is essential that we build global food systems based on diverse, localised agricultural solutions. People should be allowed to determine and control their own food systems. This form of agriculture also helps communities become more resilient to climate change. Friends of the earth International supports small scale peasant farmers in resisting the corporate powers that destroy their livelihoods and bring hunger and conflict to their communities. We help build bridges between people and their food; between those who produce and those who consume food.
