A global “peoples’” coalition is urging systemic reforms to create equitable, rights-based food systems, emphasizing the human right to adequate food and nutrition. Their demands challenge corporate dominance in food systems, calling on businesses and policymakers to address structural drivers of hunger, inequality and malnutrition. Underserved groups — including small-scale food producers, Indigenous peoples and food-insecure individuals — are at the heart of these demands. The coalition also condemns the “weaponization of food and starvation,” which exacerbates global nutrition crises.
