The Agrarian Reform has been out of the official and political agendas for almost 30 years, but the pressure exerted by the social movements has caused it to be brought back to the centre of attention since 2006.

This is what Mario Ahumada, member of the Commission for Food Sovereignty in Latin America and the Caribbean said in the framework of the 1st Regional Forum against Agribusiness which came to an end on Sunday 23rd in Asunción, Paraguay.

This activity called by La Via Campesina, the World March of Women and Friends of the Earth International enabled the sharing of experiences of struggle against agribusiness as an expression of capitalism in the control of food and natural resources.

An agenda of global activities was also defined against the agribusiness transnational corporations, with plans of resistance and denunciation of free trade agreements and reciprocal investments.

“The pressure of the social movements managed to place at the UN Conference in 2006 the issue of Agrarian Reform, after almost three decades of its absence in official agendas”, Ahumada said.

The Agrarian Reform is mainly made up by the recovery of control of territories, putting an end to the accelerated process of land commodification, a process promoted by the World Bank and by the governments which share the ideology of this multilateral agency,

Ahumada also talked about the actions carried out by the Commission for Food Sovereignty in Latin America and the Caribbean and proposed several global actions against the representatives of transnational companies in Latin American and Caribbean countries.
