The “Nos Plantamos” movement, aligned with La Via Campesina on the International Day of Peasant Struggles, emphasizes the necessity of an immediate agroecological transition. The Galician Farmer Syndicate-Labour Commissions (SLG-CCLL) also joined in, stressing support for family and social agriculture.
In the framework of the International Day of Peasant Struggles, the V International Seminar on Agroecology and Seeds took place in Chile on April 17th and 18th. The struggle for land, seeds, and food sovereignty involves collaborative efforts among peasant organizations, allies from rural and urban areas, all increasingly recognizing themselves as political actors fighting for workers’ rights.
On April 17th, the National Federation of the Agricultural Sector commemorated the International Day of Peasant Struggle, highlighting global and national peasant resistance for social justice. It called for advocating for policies ensuring food sovereignty, environmental justice, and peasants’ rights.
