The UNFCCC Children and Youth, Women and Gender, and Environmental NGO constituencies—including Demand Climate Justice and Climate Action Network—have come together to demand that COP30 meaningfully include food systems and agriculture in its Just Transition agenda. 

In a joint letter to the Presidency, we demand: 

• A full transition away from industrial, extractive agriculture 
• Agroecology as a core climate solution 
• Smallholders, women, youth and Indigenous Peoples must lead in creating policy solutions 
• Finance and technology that reach the most affected: smallholders, Indigenous Peoples, women and youth 
• Coherence between climate, biodiversity and desertification agendas 
• Clear safeguards to prevent greenwashing and protect people, animals and the planet 

Food systems are not a side issue. They are a frontline battleground for justice.
