AFA participated in the conference entitled “New Paradigms and Public Policies in Global Agriculture and Food Systems” last June 13-15, a few days before the G20 Leaders Summit held on June 18-19 in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Ika Krishnayanti, International Relations Officer of Aliansi Petani Indonesia or API, AFA member in Indonesia represented AFA to the event.
APi is a national farmers organization, founding member of AFA, with167,000 member households.
It has activities focused on advocacy for agrarian reform, management of production activities, improving market access and building solidarity among its members.
AFA’s participation was made possible by the invitation of IATP (Institute of Agriculture and Trade Policy) and ANEC-Mexico, a national peasant CSO coalition.
The opening panel looked at the failure of the current system and the need for new strategies, with the objective of finding solutions and proposing public policies to ensure economic, ecological and social rights.
Ms. Krishnayanti joined the general plenary with the coalition on the g20 on the “campesino agenda” (peasants’agenda).
The plenary focused on the theme of the failure of the current food system and need for alternatives.
AFA also participated in a survey, coordinated by WRF during the last three months, in association with the CTA, which resulted in a set of recommendations of Farmers´organisations, traditional fishers, etc., addressed to the G-20.
