To illustrate the connections between debt, trade, and the food systems, the CSIPM published the zine: Trade, Debt and Financialisation: What it has to do with the food on your plate? Through the stories of wheat farmers in Pakistan, youth in Kenya and bread subsidies in Egypt, it shows how the global financial system impacts people’s lives and how communities are resisting, organising, and taking action towards the change they demand.
The zine is not just a collection of stories about broken systems. It is about solidarity and resistance. Farmers, youth, and communities defending the right to food, equity, and a future based on justice and sovereignty.
‘Every policy can uplift or oppress. Every financial decision can either widen or close the inequality gap. This is not a story of despair but of solidarity, of strength, and of the collective fight to dismantle the systems that keep so many on unequal ground,’ reads the zine, produced by the CSIPM Equity Working Group, with the support of Oxfam Belgium and the Belgian Development Cooperation.
