Against war, poverty and massive migrations. Every October 16 since 1981, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) commemorates World Food Day. A year before, the General Assembly of the United Nations (resolution 35 / 70-1980) considered that "food is a requirement for the survival and well-being of humanity and a fundamental human need". The objective declared by the FAO, in the last 3 decades, is "to promote the solidarity of society and governments in the fight against hunger, malnutrition and poverty". This year the motto is "Social Protection and Agriculture to break the cycle of rural poverty". The objective declared by the FAO, in the last 3 decades, is "to promote the solidarity of society and governments in the fight against hunger, malnutrition and poverty". This year the motto is "Social Protection and Agriculture to break the cycle of rural poverty". However, FAO has a two-faceted identity. It was founded in 1945 during the establishment of the new capitalist order in the bipolar world established after the Second World War (Bretton Woods-1944). Although it is proposed to fight against a food insecurity that affects 20% of humanity, it does so in alliance with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, which makes it the technical arm of the "free trade" of food. Its policies are mainly concerned with removing the obstacles to the development of a commodified and industrialized world agriculture and food. In other words, it contributes to the marginalization of peasant culture, the massive migrations caused by the industrialization of the countryside and the growth of poverty in the large cities of impoverished countries. From the formal defense of Food Safety, promotes an agriculture and livestock dependent on chemicals, genetically modified, machinery and energy for the global market and promotes a food pattern based on sugar, industrial white flour and abundant and cheap animal protein. Food insecurity not only consists of hunger and diseases due to food shortages, but also food and immunological diseases resulting from junk food and toxic foods processed that we eat as hidden ingredients in our daily food. Beyond the declarations for the gallery, FAO's agrarian and food policies encourage the impoverishment of soils, the loss of biodiversity, the pollution of water, air and land, climate change, the hoarding of large territories, especially of Africa, by agribusiness multinationals, hunger in impoverished countries and, through junk food, obesity and other foodborne diseases in rich countries and emerging economies. The current international food disorder aggravates - instead of solving - the problems it denounces and is responsible for the lack of social protection, rural poverty and the degradation of an increasingly less nutritious, more processed and more traveled food. This disorder promotes social, agrarian and environmental policies at the end of the pipeline. Their therapies aggravate the disease and make the patient worse. The destruction of food resources is subsidized to favor the concentration and globalization of agribusiness, favoring the depopulation of the countryside and forced migrations. Growing victims of food insecurity: 1 billion people with hunger and malnutrition and 1.5 billion people victims of pandemics caused by the industrialization of agriculture and food that causes overweight and obesity, major risk factors in cardiovascular diseases, diabetes , metabolic syndrome, cancer, allergies, disorders of the locomotor system, immunodeficiencies and psychosocial alterations. These diseases are fattened in the population with fewer resources and food knowledge. In this new colonization, with the excuse of lack of food, the same multinationals responsible for hunger and accomplices governments promote the transgenic, industrial livestock and mass production of fruits and vegetables of high precision and in greenhouses. Both types of food insecurity grow mainly among women, children and families from the most disadvantaged social groups who are also victims of violence caused by the labor market that leaves them unemployed, homeless and wars for geostrategic control of energy and natural resources. The FAO, the IMF, the WB, worldwide and, at continental level, the European Union and the Common Agricultural Policy, question all the measures of food, social and environmental protection that limit the circulation of capital and the concentration of land, agricultural and food resources in the hands of large multinationals. The Free Trade Agreement between the EU and the US (TTIP) is a new edition of this international conspiracy of multinationals against human rights and the limits of nature. While the number of hungry and obese grows with the prices of food and agricultural inputs, the multinationals of seeds, fertilizers and distribution of agricultural products and junk food, increase their profits. They could not do it without our collaboration. If our consumption comes from globalized industrial foods and white marks in large areas, we cooperate with the increase in hunger in the world, as well as injuring our health. The publicity of the food multinationals has managed to control the food supply, modify the consumption habits of the population and condition, in favor of industrialized and processed foods, the political regulation of the system of production, circulation and consumption of food. Only a minority of consumers buy organic food, seasonal and local origin. If we want to be part of the solution, we must: a) change our dietary guidelines, adapting them to organic seasonal foods and proximity; b) create an agro-ecological, nutritional and care food culture, transmitting it to society, especially the school environment; c) undertake innovative cooperatives of shared responsibility between producers and consumers; d) build local markets and short distribution circuits to provide the population with access to true organic food; e) reduce the ecological footprint and close the cultural and metabolic gap between the countryside and the city. Good nutrition is synonymous with agroecological food. In order to eradicate rural poverty and guarantee food security and sovereignty, agroecological family agriculture must be defended from responsible agroecological consumption. The true social protection is to protect, guarantee and promote agroecological peasant agriculture from the consumers and the public authorities. Every day of the year we must bet on a diet abundant in organic fruits and vegetables of season and proximity, organic whole grain bread (with mother yeast) and legumes, reducing the consumption of meat, salt, sugar, refined and processed foods and carbonated drinks as the basis of a healthy and sufficient diet for all people and all peoples. Responsible Agroecological Consumption can not grow without food education in healthy habits. Facing the global market, agroecological farmers and responsible consumers build distribution and culture networks promoting the vitality of fresh seasonal foods and fair prices for farmers and affordable for the social majorities. Food, a fundamental part of care work, must be a shared responsibility between men and women, distributing care work in the domestic sphere and in society. We are calling to join this campaign for the Agroecological Food Day that we have been promoting since 2011. Agroecological Responsible Food to fight against war, poverty and massive migrations.
