PAN Asia Pacific (PANAP) and its partners across the globe conducted the 16 Days of Global Action on Agroecology 2020, with the theme “Fight for Food Systems Change!”, as rural peoples confront the challenges of the hunger crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 16 Days of Global Action on Agroecology is an annual campaign from October 1 to 16 aimed at promoting #agroecology​ as an alternative to chemical-based corporate agriculture and as a way towards achieving people’s food sovereignty. Now on its 6th year, the global campaign this year focuses on the plight of rural peoples during the pandemic, and their demands and aspirations for fundamental changes in the food and agricultural system.
