The People’s Caravan hit the road again on a bigger scale, with the theme: “People’s Food Sovereignty: Asserting Our Rights to Land and Food.” Now involving 500 groups, the caravan mobilised over a million people in 16 countries on a month-long journey. It helped define the aspirations of small food producers in Asia, and collected 100,000 signatures for the Convention on Food Sovereignty. Dialogues with government officials were also held to influence policy—in Nepal, a major victory of the caravan was the inclusion of Food Sovereignty in the draft Nepalese Consitution.
