Las mujeres campesinas han visto limitados sus derechos sobre la tenencia de la tierra, tanto la ley como los usos y costumbres obstaculizan que puedan ser posesionarias. Esta es la historia de la lucha de mujeres indígenas por su derecho a un territorio.

A diferencia de otras zonas agropecuarias de nuestro país, en donde el monocultivo de soja abunda y el glifosato ataca directamente la salud de las personas y del suelo, en Misiones la chacra, una unidad productiva de subsistencia familiar, se impone como un espacio ideal para la siembra orgánica, esa que deja de lado los agroquímicos, y la permacultura, aquella donde la diversidad de cultivos enriquece la vida y respeta el ambiente.

Entrevista a Jeremías Chauque, referente de la organización campesina Desvío a la Raíz, de Santa Fe. ¿Qué sucede cuando el agronegocio se apropia de conceptos cómo "agroecología"? Reflexiona sobre la necesidad de retomar los orígenes de la agricultura campesina e indígena. La defensa del territorio y la vida rural, la salud de la tierra y las personas, alimentos sanos para todos y todas.
Our food systems are in urgent need of transformation, as humanity faces one of our biggest challenges yet; feeding a future population of 10 billion people with safe and nutritious food while keeping a healthy planet. Our food system has the power to tip the scales and transform the future of our planet and humankind.
There is an underlying tension in the land rights movement that is rarely addressed head on, which is the perception that securing women’s land rights threatens community land rights. Community land rights are typically held by indigenous people, small-scale and subsistence farmers, pastoralists, herders and many other groups who are directly dependent on land for their livelihoods but whose land tenure is often the most precarious.
This session zoomed in on the local situation and challenges faced by grassroots communities and women in some low-Income countries. It provided an overview of support provided by Civil Society organizations (and governments) facilitating communities, women in particular, to step up the efforts to strengthen their land rights and to generate resilience in face of the climate and COVID-19 challenges they are facing.
More secure land tenure provides much better opportunities to face climate and COVID-19 challenges by investing in high biodiversity local food & income systems.
