The People's Coalition on Food Sovereignty (PCFS) is a global network of organizations working to achieve food sovereignty. Food sovereignty is the right of peoples to define their own food and agriculture systems. It means that people have the right to produce their own food, to control their own food systems, and to access healthy and nutritious food.
The PCFS believes that food sovereignty is essential for achieving food security, environmental sustainability, and social justice.
Here are some of the ways that the PCFS is making a difference:
The PCFS has played a key role in the development of the International Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas. This declaration is a landmark document that recognizes the rights of peasants and other rural people to land, water, seeds, and other resources.
The PCFS has lobbied governments around the world to adopt policies that support food sovereignty. In 2018, the PCFS was instrumental in the passage of a resolution at the United Nations that called for a global movement for food sovereignty.
The PCFS has trained thousands of farmers, fisherfolk, and other food producers in the principles of food sovereignty. These trainings have helped people to develop the skills and knowledge they need to produce their own food and to defend their rights to land, water, and other resources.
The PCFS has built a strong network of organizations working for food sovereignty. This network provides a forum for people to share information and experiences, and to coordinate their efforts to achieve food sovereignty.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
