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.
