- Promoting Organic and Sustainable Farming
- We do not just fight to secure land rights; we also work to secure the sustainable usage of that land by promoting good farming practices amongst laboring and small farmers. We assist those in the farming community, especially those previously marginalized, to acquire the proper training about organic and sustainable farming practices from the state and other relevant organizations.
- We promote the conservation of local traditional crops in their respective localities, the usage of eco-friendly fertilizers, and the usage of biopesticides.
- Facilitating Community-led Action and a Holistic Approach to Agriculture
- We orient our efforts towards holistic models of land and agriculture development aimed at uplifting the lives and status of marginalized and small farmer families and train members and leaders of the people’s organizations to develop and implement new models and partnerships.
- We mobilize and train farmers to effectively engage in shared farming methods on existing commons and other acquired and communalized land.
- We also facilitate the study of how secure livelihoods can be cultivated in the context of farming, agriculture, and small production, and train and support small and marginalized farmers to develop such livelihoods.
- Ensuring that State Provisions and Benefits are Effectively Implemented
- We ensure that small farmers are always kept informed about the provisions, benefits, and rights that they are entitled to from the state; follow up with these farmers to make sure that they can access these provisions and benefits and help make the implementation of such provisions as effective as possible; and work with local governments when necessary to increase such effectiveness.
