As part of the Global People\u2019s Summit (GPS) on Food Systems<\/a>, thousands of people across the globe participated in online and on-the-ground protest actions against the recently concluded United Nations Food Systems Pre-Summit. The GPS is a counter-summit to the UNFSS, which has earned the criticism of people\u2019s movements and CSOs for the big role given to corporations in shaping the direction of food and agriculture policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In #SiegeTheSummit counter-mobilizations<\/a> from July 2 to 29, the voices and demands of marginalized rural peoples from the Global South\u2014landless farmers, agricultural workers, indigenous peoples, fisherfolk, rural women, youth, rural people living in occupied areas, and sanctioned peoples\u2014were highlighted. More than 100 organizations at the local, national, regional and global levels organized or participated in various consultations, workshops, webinars and other online fora, and street mobilizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
