Future Food System Summit Summary – Gender Perspective
What happened in our Future Food Systems Summit
What happened in our Future Food Systems Summit
Common Values – Gender Perspective:
“Bondad”. I believe that capacity, which is a way of giving: giving our time, giving our opinion, giving what we offer to both others and the world, is a very important value.
Participants came together and identified common values across the three group visions
It not only involves giving a hand physically but also supporting both the group and individuals. It’s not just about giving time; it’s about giving work and sharing knowledge. This is like the ‘Mano Vuelta’ concept, which is a very important principle of community solidarity. It reflects in everything and relates to this aspect of building communities.
Final Vision – Gender Perspective:
Based on common values, participants created a shared vision of a desirable food system in 2050
We live in community where the common goods prevail with dignity and equity, respecting inclusion and diversity. Traditional knowledge in food systems provides wellbeing for society with responsibility. From the collective space, we ensure access for all to healthy, sufficient, local, safe, nutritious and sovereign food.
Our education, both formal and informal, is integral, retaking knowledge from our ancestors, rural and indigenous communities, and children grow in harmony with mother nature. Linking our system with friendly technologies, preparing producers in an integral way, optimizing self-sufficient productive systems.
We freely enjoy the process from the production to the tasting of food. We form a network where all the actors are integrated and committed. We have spaces for meetings and exchanges of food, knowledge/experiences. Based on ‘bondad’ we share the care labor and recognize it as an important part to sustain life.
