Building strategies and convening with movements was at the heart of GRAIN’s work in 2025. From the People’s Climate Summit in Brazil to the 3rd Nyéléni Global Forum in Sri Lanka -along with many smaller but important gatherings with key allies- each event responded to pressing issues and brought forward solutions from the food sovereignty movement.
In this year’s Highlights report, we share key takeaways from these and other processes. These include advances like the vindication for communities impacted by plantations of the Socfin group in Africa and Asia and the growing campaign against seed privatisation and UPOV; but also challenges, like the push for carbon markets, the growing concentration of top agribusiness giants and struggles against the expansion of industrial animal agriculture and aquaculture.
We share this all in hopes that it informs and inspires actions from around the world. If you are able, we would appreciate your financial support to help sustain our work. We also encourage you to forward this message to a friend, post it on social media and share GRAIN’s work with anyone who might be interested. Together we can keep strengthening food sovereignty.
