„Promotion of sustainable family farming, respecting the environment, right of farmers to the fruits of their labor and rights of the consumers

to healthy food in sufficient quantity,

is a key challenge for fair and sustainable development of southern hemisphere countries, which may help in fighting hunger and poverty.

This is linked with acknowledgment of the specific of farming, requireing implementation of Agricultural Policies and granting a special status to

trade agreements.”


Apel NGO

We demand that the European Union:

- makes the policies coherent, particularly in the domain of Farming and Agriculture, International Trade and Cooperation, linked with the commitments towards countries of the South and actions towards poverty reduction and fight with world hunger.

- establishes food sovereignty as a priority political axis, which should reflect in diverse political actions on European and International level.

- grants the right to food sovereignty to BOTH countries of the Global North as well as of the global South within the trade agreements that are concluded.

Those should be included as a substantial actions within Common Agricultural Policy, External Trade Policies and Actions for International Cooperation and Development.
