The interests, progress and impacts of transnational agribusiness in the Mesoamerican region have been the main focus of the Regional Forum Against Agribusiness and for Mesoamerican People's Sovereignty, that happened in the 4th and 5th June 2010, where many social movements like the World March of Women, Via Campesina and Friends of the Earth Latin America and the Caribbean, got together.
Facing the current crisis, the meeting reinforced the necessity of working in alliance to create new forms of survival, solidarity, sustainability and sovereignty, building alternatives.
The movements involved in the meeting together have established an agenda of joint political action in Mesoamerica for the resistance, mobilization and transformation that includes, among other things, the confrontation of the various threats disguised in Free Trade Agreements and Association and Investments Agreements between Central America and the European Union..
The declaration also affirms Food and Energy Sovereignty and the rights of everyone to drinking water, territories free of OGM's, transnationals, militarization, criminalization and violence against women.
