Nyéléni Global Forum"To achieve health for all, we must address food as the greatest determinant of health. In this regard, the dominant food system, controlled by large corporations, has endangered the lives of marginalized communities through the mass production of ultra-processed foods and the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals. Agribusiness, designed to generate profits rather than to nourish, causes hunger and disease."

Nyéléni Newsletter: A new framework for trade based on food sovereignty
This edition of the Nyéléni Newsletter calls for an end to the exploitative model of capital expansion through free trade agreements. We explore the urgent need to break the hegemony of free trade and build an alternative that upholds solidarity and internationalism, and respects the diversity, autonomy, and food sovereignty of nations and communities.
SaltPhoenixI finally found (accidentally ran into) a grocery shelf item I kept seeing in recipes, that I never heard of bc I'm surrounded by the living, growing version of it. (Dried taro leaf ) 😅 I'm definitely gonna use the fresh version forever and always. That shelf stable version has a similar story to fry bread, in that it's what was used bc the real foods of the people were taken, destroyed, forbidden, no land, no farmers, etc.

Again with a recipe calling for a processed, grocery store item as one of the ingredients, when what I'm starting with is an actual vegetable that I grew. It came out of the ground. I planted it and dug it up. Sigh. So let me go ahead and apply my 30000 yrs of ancestral knowledge to figure it out. Anything to avoid a grocery store. This is my revolutionary praxis. 🙄 #resist #eatlocal #survival #cooking #foodjustice #foodsovereignty #homestead #capitalism #food

DoomsdaysCWThe #FourSisters: Nurturing a time of plenty
"For the #Mandan, #Hidatsa and #Arikara people, seeds are even more than miraculous kernels of life. They are relatives and storehouses of ancestral memory, linked back to a time of abundance connected to the land. That is why the seed sovereignty project generates so much excitement throughout the community. Last month, the program’s first Food and Seed Summit drew around 100 enthusiastic participants.
"The college’s #FoodSovereignty effort aims to help reverse the cultural loss from the MHA Nation’s 1940s dislocation by flooding from the massive Garrison Dam. The seed sovereignty project engages faculty and community members, elders and USDA researchers to cultivate food security in the Three Affiliated Tribes.
Sowing #Sovereignty: Reclaiming #IndigenousAgriculture in #NorthDakota
By Tracy L. Barnett, June 10, 2024
Excerpt:
"Like others from her community, Plenty Sweetgrass-She Kills grew up hearing the stories about a time of bounty, when the Three Affiliated Tribes farmed the rich bottomlands of the Missouri River. They grew nearly everything they needed in a tight-knit network of communities where work was shared and abundance existed for all.
"The stories were all that remained from those days – and the seeds.
" 'We had a lot of independence, even up to the 1940s,' Plenty Sweetgrass-She Kills told Buffalo’s Fire. 'Then, with the Garrison Dam, that had some devastating impacts in terms of our ability to grow our #TraditionalFoods.' "

📢 This attack on UAWC seed bank is not an isolated incident. It is the second direct assault on UAWC in recent years, part of a broader colonial strategy to uproot Palestinian communities, displace Indigenous farmers, and suppress any form of self-determination.
