National Summit of Land and Territory, Fundamental Agrarian Law and Food Sovereignty

The National Summit of Land and Territory, Fundamental Agrarian Law and Food Sovereignty met in April 2014 with representatives of rural people?s organizations of both men and women from the nine departments to discuss issues related to land and territory. During 2013, three regional preparatory meetings were held in order to collect inputs for the Summit. The most relevant concern that emerged from the three meetings was the need to promote a new Agrarian Law. Consequently, the Summit was organized around seven working groups: 1) Analysis of the preliminary draft of the fundamental agrarian law; 2) Agricultural Institutionality; 3) Distribution, redistribution and reversion of land; 4) Sanitation and conflict resolution modalities; 5) Foreignization and deforeignization; 6) Territorial management and natural resources; and 7) Territorial management and food sovereignty.
