The corporate-controlled food system causes up to 40% of total global emissions,

in large part due to large-scale agriculture and livestock production. Industrial agriculture alone costs the environment 3 trillion dollars a year, having caused massive deforestation, water scarcities, biodiversity loss and soil depletion.

ILC Is Engaging in food systems solutions in 3 big ways:

1.Being part of the Champions Network

As one of fifty Champions, ILC Secretariat Director, Michael Taylor is committed to using every opportunity to amplify the voices of small scale producers from within the network and promote a human rights approach for a process that does indeed hold the possibility to be transformative.

For more information, please contact Michael Taylor.

2.Action Track 4: advancing equitable livelihoods

ILC is working on ‘game changing and systemic’ solutions' under Action Track 4. As part of this work, the ILC is ensuring that equitable access to land and secure tenure rights is essential to building sustainable food systems for people who depend on and from the land.

More resources from the Learning Hub

Learning is central to ILC as an alliance of peers who work together under a set of common commitments to people-centred land governance. Learning supports ILC wider efforts of shifting power into the hands of people whose lives depend on land: opportunities need to work for people’s organisations, women and youth, and be experiential as much as possible. Learning is also a means to building and sustaining diverse partnerships.
