International meeting on the Right to Food
We want to generate a space for exchange, debate and collective construction with reference agents from different sectors that will allow us to raise the public discussion on the right to food and nutrition to decision-making spaces and to society in general.
Social and peasant organisations from different countries will participate in the meeting. Likewise, representatives of vulnerable groups as rights holders and political-institutional representatives, as duty bearers in guaranteeing the right to food, will be present and will have their own voice.
Methodology of the Meeting
Opening speeches
Before we get into the job, we would like to share with you all the frameworks and positions from which we will approach the debates and workshops. We will have experienced people and activists in different spaces in the defence of the Right to Food and Food Sovereignty from different countries.
Sectoral workshops
We will come together with our peers (primary sector, third sector of social intervention, academia, social movements, etc.) to debate and share ideas, proposals, doubts, fears and dreams.
Cross-dialogues
It is time to share with others, to build alternatives with potential allies, to know what they propose and to analyse the possibilities of making something bigger together.
FAQ
"Article 15 is drawn from the contemporary concept of the right to adequate food and nutrition which could be defined as the right, alone or in community with others, to be free from hunger and malnutrition2 , to have access at all times, physically and economically, to adequate (in quality and quantity), nutritious and culturally acceptable food or means for its procurement3 , in a sustainable manner and with dignity, ensuring the highest attainable standard of physical, emotional and intellectual development. Moreover, all these dimensions are inseparable from nutritional well-being and health, and must be interpreted in the framework of food sovereignty, gender equality and women's rights.

About Bizilur
Bizilur-Association for the Cooperation and Development of Peoples is an assembly association. It is clear to us that the causes of poverty, inequality and oppression suffered by individuals and peoples are to be found in the system of multiple domination in which we live: neoliberal, imperialist and heteropatriarchal.
We believe that social movements are the capable and legitimate subjects to confront this system by reflecting, denouncing and implementing alternatives that build other models of life that are anti-capitalist, respectful, emancipated and liveable.
For 15 years, we have been accompanying social movements in the Basque Country and internationally that deepen and translate these proposals into each reality. We promote processes that place life and its sustainability at the centre. And at the centre of life, food.
We work from a feminist perspective to transform not only the what, but also the how. For this reason, we work in alliance with other feminist collectives, trying to advance in the reflection and change of relationships, ways of doing, care, representation... so that we all live lives that are worth living.
