Proposals for a Fair and Sustainable Economy. Contribution to the theme: production, distribution and consumption: access to wealth, common goods and a transitional economy at the Thematic Social Forum Porto Alegre 24-29 January 2012 in the run-up to the Rio+20 People’s Summit

This document has been put together by Gustavo Marín with the help of Germà Pelayo and contributions from Cândido Grzybowski, Matthieu Calame, Jorge Romano and Paul Raskin. It is based on presentations and discussions that focused on the economy during the seminar organized by Ibase, the Forum for a new World Governance (FnWG) and Euralat in Rio de Janeiro from 10 to 12 August 2011. It is of course a work in progress, and will benefit from further critiques and contributions.

Food Sovereignty and International Trade Negotiations

Negotiations on agricultural products within the WTO have led to deepening inequalities between the North and the South. This Proposal Paper thus suggests, without for all that refusing trade of food products, solutions that take into account sustainable forms of production in favor of small-scale farming in order to establish fair trading.
