The negotiations on the agricultural products within the WTO entailed the deepening between the North and the South inequalities. This notebook proposes then, without refusing for as much the food exchanges, of the answers that take in account of the lasting fashions of production in favor of the agricultures farmers, in order to establish equitable exchanges.
The negotiations on agriculture within the World organization of the Trade had for result to increase the inequalities between country of the North and the South. Because it doesn't take in account the ways to produce (lasting or no), because it doesn't take into account the producers, because it encourages the agricultures exporters, the agreement privileges the intensive agricultures to the costs of the agricultures farmers. It is a special treatment and differentiated, to the profit of the shapes of industrial agricultures and exporters. Yet, the agricultural activity cannot be reduced to an economic activity as the other, that one stands of the point of view of the producer, or of the consumer. Food security, of environment, of economy, to protect the varied agricultures farmers, is necessary on the contrary for reasons. It doesn't imply for as much to refuse the food exchanges. The exchanges are acceptable and desirable provided that they are equitable. The document expresses a set of propositions therefore to apply the principle of the food sovereignty affectively in the rules of the international trade, what implies two general conditions,: the recognition of the food sovereignty like a human right, a change in the fashion of working of the WTO.
