An alternative to the CFS Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition

The present document was written through an autonomous, self-organized, and participatory process by the working Group on Food Systems and Nutrition of the Civil Society and Indigenous Peoples’ Mechanism (CSM) for relations with the UN Committee on World Food Security (CFS). When the CFS embarked on the process of elaborating the Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition in 2018, the CSM Working Group started a parallel process of building its own vision document for the Guidelines to transform food systems. The document has since evolved and remains open as a living document. It continues to be built around the experiences and the struggles of our constituencies on the ground.
