Shifting the Balance of Power: Elevating Voices in Agrifood Decision-Making

⁣http://www.fao.org/policy-support This session explored how governance approaches reshape agrifood systems by centering the voices of those often excluded from policymaking. In Ecuador, combining a national strategy and grassroots roundtables has contributed to empowering rural women to co-create agricultural policies that reflect their needs and realities. Ghana’s Green Label certification scheme showcases how food governance standards and labeling can incentivize sustainable practices while giving smallholder farmers a stronger voice in the market. In Mexico, the process leading to the General Law on Adequate and Sustainable Food demonstrates how citizen participation can help shape legal reforms that strengthen the right to food and empower diverse social groups.
