• Make the UN Declaration on Peasant Rights a reality in food and agriculture policies and programs at national and sub-national levels, including regulating and recognising food as an essential common good, NOT as a commodity.

• Complete the redistribution of agricultural lands through a radical agrarian reform program that supports family farms and rural micro-enterprises as the backbone of agricultural development, and a model for small scale sustainable production

• Support mainstreaming of ecological farming practices (also known as ‘Agroecology’) adapted to the specificities of the local ecosystem, local social reality and cultural diversity’.

• Support small-holder farmers by providing them with the means to succeed and build on their own farming knowledge and on their peer-to-peer solidarity, support and learning.

• Prioritise foodshed production and consumption within ecological boundaries, enabling consumers to hold producers more accountable for their production methods (both in terms of labour protection and ecological growing methods). Trade policy should support this prioritisation and must never create obstacles to achieving this aim. This includes policies related to subsidies (none for export-led food production), policies on sanitary and phyto-sanitary measures (precautionary principle, and regulations for high health and environmental standards), and policies to ensure the right to plant and develop sustainable food crops appropriate and necessary for the region (no intellectual property rights on things like seeds).

• Prioritize food production for human consumption as opposed to animal feed.

• Provide direct access between producers and consumers; cut out the role of the middle traders and subsidize farmers in the form of outright grants and credit.

• Ensure regulations, treaties and consultations recognise that food sovereignty cannot be defined from the top down but can only be shaped through a collective and continuous process of dialogue; that legitimacy comes from peasants’ organizations at the grassroots.

• Provide priority access to fish resources for small-scale fishermen, women and processors. Promote a transition from fisheries production dominated by large-scale, capital-intensive, destructive methods to smaller scale, community-based, labour-intensive fisheries using ecologically responsible, selective fishing technology and environmentally sound practices. Support for local and regional trade in fish products

*Note: Peasants includes farmers, landless people, rural women and youth, indigenous people, migrants and agricultural workers, in farming, fisheries and forests

• Recognise (in treaties, constitutions and regulation and courts) the rights of nature & Mother Earth and respect the intrinsic non-monetary value of nature and basic people's rights (to clean air, water, food, shelter, health, education, etc.).

• Set clear limits (environmental boundaries) on legitimate economic activity on the commodification of Nature by:

* Abolishing private ownership of and access to natural resources and of land beyond the size of a household or family-farm.

* Regulating the finance industry in order to drastically reduce its size and influence on the economy through abolishing harmful practices and finance products (see also 2.0) .

* Regulating the neoliberal free trade regime and banning private corporate tribunals to create a fair trade system oriented towards public welfare, the improvement of environmental and social standards worldwide and strong local oversight on any industrial exploitation of nature.

* Removing and denying new incentives and support measures for economic activities that contribute to surpassing planetary boundaries (identified by Stockholm Resilience Centre) and incentivising activities that actively contribute to regenerating ecosystem health where boundaries have been surpassed.

* Halt and reverse expansion into natural ecosystems. We must free up a large share of the immense land area currently used for pasture and animal feed and return it to primary food production and ecosystem restoration.

• Move away from economic-growth-oriented programs, fossil fuels, mega infrastructure projects and the military, and towards social and environmental protection.

• Invest in renewable energy use in production, distribution, and household and community use.

• Develop and support green and just industrial policies, practices and public investments so that they meet people’s need for food, health , education, housing, water, energy, transportation, waste and communication.

• Zero financial incentives, subsidies and bail-outs for the further expansion of fossil fuel exploration and extraction, and industrial agriculture & fisheries, big agro, mining, logging, toxic chemical industries.

• Just transition: a shift towards a low-carbon economy which guarantees a fair deal for workers in declining industries and provides decent and secure jobs.

• Bailouts

* Transparency of bailouts: bailout databases should be managed by the relevant key government agencies along with relevant analyses on the bailout’s social, labour and environmental impacts.

* Bailouts should foster resilience to future crises: they should improve people’s access to basic needs and foster resilience for climate crises.

* Refuse any bailouts to sectors whose existence is in direct contradiction with our climate urgency and our biodiversity goals (oil/gas exploration and production companies, integrated oil companies, coal mining subsector, industrial food sub-sectors like Big Meat, factory farms, destructive fisheries and highly fossil fuel intensive services).

* Instead recovery plan should support a just transition for farmers and food workers to be able to shift to a more sustainable food system.

• Immediate forgiveness and/or cancellation of external debt, and a complete overhaul of the global financial system. See Debt Cancellation for Argentina and all Global South Countries Statement by Greenpeace, 15 May, 2020.

• Reject debt appropriation laws.

• Foreign support must be in the form of untied grants, not loans.

• Abolish the practice of granting sovereign guarantees for private debts.

• All new public debts must comply with standards based on social and environmental impacts and equitable distribution.

• Extend credit from advanced economies to emerging ones with incentives to massively increase the take up of renewable energy and other responsible practices.

• Debt forgiveness should be conditional on the reinvestment of the total amount of the debt in decentralized energy generation, creation of new indigenous lands, creation of new areas for the protection of biodiversity and the reinforcement of the existing ones, and the development of sanitation and clean infrastructure.
