NOFA-NH Volunteer participates in the 3rd Nyéléni Forum

Sarah Gilliatt of Main Street Cheese, LLC was one of 45 North American delegates at the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum, which took place September 6-13 in Sri Lanka.

Nyéléni is the leading international event for the food sovereignty movement to gather and strategize, with more than 700 individuals from around the globe participating to determine actionable solutions advancing a more just and ecological food system.

This year’s Nyéléni Forum is a culmination of a four year political organizing process focused on building the future of the global food sovereignty movement. The process was informed through input from thousands of grassroots organizers, food producers, and rural communities to identify their most pressing challenges and opportunities.

And stay tuned for the Common Political Action Agenda that will be launched at COP30 later this month in Belem, Brazil.

The work completed at the Nyéléni Forum will continue long after delegates have returned home. During the forum, delegates will develop bold, unified plans for a global alliance to advance a fairer global agricultural system centering food sovereignty and the right to food.
