Pela presente, nós, representantes de 125 organizações de mais de 50 países, instamos Va. Sa. a representar os interesses de agricultores, trabalhadores, consumidores, mulheres e o meio ambiente, rejeitando a maior liberalização do comércio de alimentos na Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC) e em vez disso, exigir políticas que atinjam a segurança alimentar, o desenvolvimento rural e que protejam os meios de vida dos agricultores através da Soberania Alimentar.

The global food system is in crisis. Millions of people can no longer afford or access the food they need, increasing global hunger and malnutrition. The worlds’ governments need to act now. But the answer does not lie in deeper deregulation of food production and trade. We, concerned non-governmental organizations and social movements, urge you to reject the claims by the leaders of the World Trade Organization (WTO), World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), that concluding the Doha Round is a solution to the current crisis.
