- The Social Discourse Concerning Land and Agriculture
- At CSRC, we raise awareness about the importance of land, agriculture, and policies to human society and people’s lives. We spark discussions about what models of agrarian economics, lifestyle, and practice work best for moving toward democracy, social justice, and sustainable development. We have always created an environment conducive to raising the critical consciousness of the farming community and all agrarian stakeholders, from the local to the national level.
- Participatory Context-mapping of the Land and Agrarian Situation
- We have developed participatory methods of understanding and mapping the current context of land and agriculture in Nepal and have prepared practitioners of these methods at various levels. We also emphasize that participatory mapping at the community and municipal level should be established as a movement connected to the broader land rights struggle.
- Creating, Developing, and Strengthening People’s Organizations
- We create strong, autonomous, and free people’s organizations of laboring farmers, which will link up and operate across the community, municipal, regional, and national levels.
- A strong and sustainable organizational strategy at both the local and national levels and the development of participatory leadership across those levels has been established.
- The Establishment of Community-level Learning Centres
- Under the leadership of the people’s organizations and incorporating the cooperation of local governments, we have established Bhumighars: community centers that cater to discussions, meetings, and educational programs related to land and agriculture.
- Educators are developed and trained amongst local leaders of the people’s organizations and are integral to the activity in the Bhumighar.
