FOOD Nourishment for all people


The WFTU believes that the food production must be planned on the basis of the satisfaction of the nutritional needs of the people and not for the profiting of the multinationals.

With the utilization of the productive capabilities of each country, with respect to public health and the environment, the production of qualitative, safe and cheap food is possible for all people. Only within this framework will food not be seen as commodity and means of profitability.

All the aspects of the nutritional problem prove that it is a class-political problem,  that affects first and foremost the working class, the small and middle farmers and the popular strata.

Thus, to confront this issue we need coordinated struggles that reach the core of the problem, its root.
Hence, they must be connected with the issue of the political and economic power.
