The first assembly of the North African Network for Food Sovereignty took place on 7-9 December 2018 in Agadir, Morocco. One year after its establishment in Tunis in 2017, the network, through this general assembly, has been reinforced by the joining of several new associations and organisations. The general assembly was rich in discussions between participants around the concept of food sovereignty, the priorities in each country as well as the forms of organising, possible alternatives and the necessary resistance against neoliberal policies in the fields of agriculture and fishing. They particularly commended the land struggles of the uprooted inhabitants of Amskarut, Haha and all the concerned regions as well as to all the fights linked to food sovereignty in the region.
