From 'Motor City' to food resilience: how Detroit has risen from the ashes
With the decline of the automobile industry, the city of Detroit has suffered an economic and demographic crisis, causing the municipality bankruptcy in 2013. From nearly 2 million inhabitants in the 1950s, the population fell to 700 000 people. With the city decline, access to fresh healthy affordable food became harder, qualifying Detroit as a “food desert”: according to the Fair Food Network, there is 10 grocery stores for every 100 000 inhabitants in Detroit, which is twice less than in nearby town Ann Arbor. And food access is even worse in neighborhoods with a high percentage of African Americans. As a response, communities have deployed adaptive strategies for food sovereignty and food justice: production, retail, education, policy making, land protection. Through food enterprises, communities are leading Detroit revival. Malik Yakini, Executive Director of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network, is going to tell us how.

***De Motor City à la résilience alimentaire: comment Detroit a réussi à renaître de ses cendres***

Avec le déclin de l'industrie automobile, la ville de Detroit a subi une crise économique et démographique, provoquant la faillite de la municipalité en 2013. De presque 2 millions d'habitants dans les années 1950, la population est tombée à 700 000 habitants. Avec le déclin de la ville, l'accès à une nourriture fraîche, saine et abordable devenait plus difficile, faisant de Detroit comme un «désert alimentaire»: selon le Fair Food Network, il y a 10 épiceries pour 100 000 habitants à Detroit, soit deux fois moins que dans les environs Ville Ann Arbor. Et l'accès à la nourriture est encore pire dans les quartiers avec un pourcentage élevé d'Afro-Américains. En réponse, les communautés ont déployé des stratégies d'adaptation pour la souveraineté alimentaire et la justice alimentaire: production, commerce de détail, éducation, élaboration de politiques, protection des terres. Par le biais des entreprises alimentaires, les communautés mènent de front le renouveau de Detroit. Malik Yakini, directeur exécutif du Réseau de la sécurité alimentaire de la communauté noire de Detroit, va nous dire comment.

Food sovereignty: the rise of a new food culture
In a world of globalised industry, many States’ policies are increasingly dictated by private sector interests and agri-food corporations. In response, both cities and civil society are taking action to get back the control of their food system, and decide how food is produced and distributed. For cities it means for example building a green bell or enforcing local procurement for public canteens. But beyond territorial marketing, how can cities build local food policies that are really controlled by local inhabitants, and ensure food security, food justice and health? At a civil society level, people also take action, first by consuming differently, buying local, organic, fair trade. But beyond consumption, more and more people are getting involved in production or distribution activities : community gardens, food cooperatives, buying groups, urban farms. The DIY culture is penetrating the food sector, paving the way for the emergence of a new food culture. The panel discussion will explore the interplay between food policies and citizen initiatives in their ability to bring about food sovereignty and ensure the resilience of the food system.

***Faire de la souveraineté alimentaire plus qu'un concept de marketing régional*** 

Dans un monde d'industrie mondialisée, les politiques de nombreux États sont de plus en plus dictées par les intérêts du secteur privé et les entreprises agroalimentaires. En réponse, les villes et la société civile prennent des mesures pour rétablir le contrôle de leur système alimentaire et décider de la façon dont les aliments sont produits et distribués. Pour les villes, cela signifie, par exemple, la construction d'une cloche verte ou la mise en place d'un approvisionnement local pour les cantines publiques. Mais au-delà du marketing territorial, comment les villes peuvent-elles construire des politiques alimentaires locales qui soient vraiment contrôlées par les habitants locaux, et assurer la sécurité alimentaire, la justice alimentaire et la santé? Au niveau de la société civile, les gens agissent également, d'abord en consommant différemment, en achetant des produits locaux, organiques et équitables. Mais au-delà de la consommation, de plus en plus de gens participent à des activités de production ou de distribution: jardins communautaires, coopératives alimentaires, groupes d'achats, fermes urbaines. La culture du Do It Yourself pénètre dans le secteur alimentaire, ouvrant la voie à l'émergence d'une nouvelle culture alimentaire. La table ronde explorera l'interaction entre les politiques alimentaires et les initiatives citoyennes dans leur capacité à susciter la souveraineté alimentaire et à assurer la résilience du système alimentaire.

Migrations et réfugiés climatiques, défi majeur du 21e siècle
Youth on the move est un groupe de jeunes engagés depuis des années dans la lutte contre le changement climatique. Un jour, ensemble, ils ont décidé d’aller plus loin en montrant une facette souvent ignorée de cet enjeu contemporain essentiel : les déplacés environnementaux. Ces personnes contraintes à l'exil du fait de contraintes naturelles, de la montée des eaux... Et comment mieux raconter les déplacés environnementaux qu’à travers le regard des jeunes, la première génération qui ne peut plus se projeter là où elle vit; là où ses parents ont toujours vécu? Mais aussi et surtout une génération qui a grandi avec cette conscience d’un monde menacé, et souhaite porter des solutions pour l’avenir.En vous présentant des vidéos, documentaires et images tirés des terrains d'exploration de Youth on the move, nous voulons lancer un débat autour de la question des migrations climatiques, susciter des interrogations, des réactions et pourquoi pas faire émerger des projets ou des solutions !
