📢 GOVERNANCE AND POWER – Radical restructuring of food governance, featuring SID's Sabrina Masinjila as panelist.

Food systems are shaped by power — who controls resources, who sets the rules, and whose interests are prioritized. Without addressing these imbalances, efforts to transform food systems remain limited and fragile.

This session, part of the series 'The Elephant at the Table: Confronting Power in Food Systems Policy', focuses on governance and power, asking what it would take to radically restructure how food systems are governed, and how decision-making can become more equitable, accountable, and transformative.

📢 New Report Launch: How Food Financialization Is Eating The Planet

At a time of overlapping global crises—rising costs, instability, and deepening inequalities—food is increasingly treated as a financial asset. And when uncertainty grows, so does speculation. 🌍

Our new report shows how financial actors and corporate concentration are capitalizing on these crises—driving price volatility, worsening hunger, and weakening food sovereignty worldwide. 📊

Land, agriculture, and even basic staples are no longer just sources of nourishment. They’ve become vehicles for profit, often at the expense of smallholders, local communities, and long-term resilience.

This is exactly why this report matters now.
It calls for urgent systemic reforms: curbing food speculation, reshaping global finance and trade rules, and supporting agroecological models rooted in equity, sustainability, and local control. 🌱

Food is a human right, not a financial asset.

🚨 WTO “reform”?

SID joins Our World Is Not For Sale Network in warning that World Trade Organization - WTO rules are harmful and inappropriate for global trade governance and constrain sustainable development, especially in developing countries.

📢 We urge Ministers in Yaoundé to reject attempts to hijack WTO reform and push through a remake based on power, not rules.
