The right to water and food security, Internationalisation of local water battles: Empowerment of local actors
Thursday 15 March from 10am to 12.30pm, Docks des Suds B, Alternative World Water Forum, Marseille
Agribusinesses are expanding and taking over control over water resources, buying the right to exploit land and water resources. This leads and will lead to water battles between people that see their rights to water reduced and the agribusinesses that accumulate water.
We will promote and show real solutions towards resilient agriculture, food, energy and water systems from a water justice perspective. This should raise awareness that equitable and ecologically sustainable water governance system is a cornerstone for realizing not only right to water but also climate justice and the right to food. -

Africa Food Security Conference
1st Annual Africa Food Security Conference - AFSC 2012 is a regionally focused forum that aims to bring the interrelated parties together for discussions that will refocus food security issues in Africa in alignment with the continent’s requirement. The forum aims to generate discussions on how consistent and accurate investment in agriculture, rural development, development aid, research and innovation can be increased because for most countries in Africa a healthy agricultural sector is essential to overcome hunger and poverty and is a pre-requisite for overall economic growth. Food security solutions in Africa should become visionary, long-term and sustainable.
