Synthesis Report: Nyéléni 2007

NYÉLÉNI was the inspiration for the name of our Forum for Food Sovereignty in Sélingué, Mali. Nyéléni was a legendary Malian peasant woman who farmed and fed her peoples well – she embodied food sovereignty through hard work, innovation and caring for her people. We, peasant farmers, pastoralists, fisherfolk, indigenous peoples, migrant workers, women and
young people, who gathered at Nyéléni 2007 are food providers who are ready, able and willing to feed all the world’s peoples.
