Who Controls Agricultural Land? The shift from farmers to financiers | IPES-Food’s Nettie Wiebe
MEET OUR EXPERTS | Nettie Wiebe - IPES-Food
Who Controls Our Land? Increasingly, it’s not farmers, but financiers.
Farmer and food systems expert Nettie Wiebe of IPES-Food unpacks the global “land squeeze” and its devastating impact on farmers, communities, and biodiversity.
Today, 1% of farming operators control 70% of agricultural land globally-a staggering imbalance. “Speculative capital in land is hollowing out communities and threatening sustainable food systems,” warns Nettie.
This shift-from farmer ownership to speculative capital-has pushed up land prices, made farming inaccessible for the next generation, and destroyed local ecosystems. Communities are being left behind, and food sy...

MUST WE SELL NATURE TO SAVE IT?

We hear a lot about “growing a green economy” - but is this really the solution we need? Big companies and investors are stepping in, buying up land for carbon storage, conservation, and green energy. These projects generate carbon and biodiversity credits, but at what cost? This animation explores how “green grabs” are displacing farmers, disrupting ecosystems, and failing to deliver the promi...
FOOD FROM SOMEWHERE | Online event & discussion
Просмотров 2094 месяца назад
At this online event on 19 September 2024, IPES-Food experts discussed our report, "Food From Somewhere: building food security and resilience through territorial markets." With progress on global hunger in reverse, the ‘zero hunger’ goal for 2030 is increasingly unattainable. Corporate-controlled global food chains have proven catastrophically susceptible to disruptions, climate change and mar...

We need a completely new model of food provision. This model exists | IPES-Food’s Shalmali Guttal

MEET OUR EXPERTS | Shalmali Guttal - IPES-Food A cascade of crises - climate crisis, financial disruptions, market volatility, wars, occupations - are entrenching hunger and deprivation. Global corporate food chains have demonstrated catastrophic vulnerability to shocks, while bringing unhealthy, ultra-processed food into the markets. We need a shift to a completely new model of food provision ...

We need lots of energy to satisfy our food needs | IPES-Food’s Olivier De Schutter
Просмотров 223Год назад
MEET OUR EXPERTS | Olivier De Schutter - IPES-Food Our food systems are highly dependent on fossil energy for the production of food on the farm, for the processing, the packaging, the transport of food, and the preservation of food in the cold chain. That is not sustainable. We need to build much more resilient food systems that bet much more on local diversity than on global supply chains. An...
In the face of climate crisis diversity is key to Africa’s food security | IPES-Food’s Million Belay
Просмотров 163Год назад
MEET OUR EXPERTS | Million Belay - IPES-Food The impact of the climate crisis on African farmers is shocking - drought, flooding, heat, disease. But sustainable and diverse farming like agroecology can help farmers build resilience to the worst impacts of climate change, while increasing productivity, nutrition, and carbon sequestration. Africa’s small scale farmers are demanding support for ag...
Consumers are trapped buying junk food. Food democracy is the answer | IPES-Food’s Nicolas Bricas
Просмотров 127Год назад
MEET OUR EXPERTS | Nicolas Bricas - IPES-Food Responsible consumption doesn’t work! We hear a lot about the idea of consumer responsibility - but this idea is problematic. Education and awareness of consumers is not enough to change the food system or ensure healthy diets. Consumers are bombarded with marketing, information and choice. It’s impossible. If you want to change behaviour, we have t...
​​Stricter regulations of financial speculators are desperately needed | IPES-Food’s Jennifer Clapp

MEET OUR EXPERTS | Jennifer Clapp - IPES-Food Agricultural commodity prices went on a wild ride in 2022. When Russia invaded Ukraine in late February, prices spiked. Prices rose by over 50% in a very short period of time, and they stayed high for months, driving up food prices that affect millions and millions of people. Part of the problem was that financial investors piled into commodity futu...

MEET OUR EXPERTS | Mamadou Goïta - IPES-Food It’s necessary to support African farmers and African countries to adapt to climate change and become more resilient.

There's a battle of ideas & green claims over food systems | IPES-Food’s Melissa Leach
Просмотров 242Год назад
MEET OUR EXPERTS | Melissa Leach - IPES-Food There’s a battle of ideas over the future of food systems. Very loose terms like ‘nature-based solutions’ are being bandied about in international summits without clear definitions, and they’re open to being mobilized in the interests of all kinds of agendas. At worst they are a cover for green grabs that undermine people's rights and threaten the la...
