Read the Memorandum of Demands:
The Climate Justice Movement and the Co-Operative and Policy Alternative Center and the South African Food Sovereignty Campaign are calling upon Parliament to adopt the revised Food Sovereignty Act No. 1 of 2024 and Feed Ourselves Through Food Sovereignty Policy as comprehensive frameworks to address the systematic inequalities and climate vulnerabilities that threaten our communities.
WAPFSA stands united in calling for the immediate recognition of these demands, critical to ending hunger, thirst, and climate harm and protecting nature. The future of South Africa’s food system depends on a deep and triple-just transition that enters on the needs of people and the web of life. This is crucial as a cornerstone of the Climate Justice Charter and Climate Emergency Social Contract for all in South Africa. United we can give an emancipatory future to South Africa the planet and future generations.
