And support the Declaration of the Rights of Peasants (http://viacampesina.net/downloads/PDF/EN-3.pdf)

Since 1996 April 17 has been declared by La Via Campesina “International day of Peasant's Struggles”. This day commemorates the slaughter by the Brazilian police of 19 peasants of the “landless” movement while they mobilized to get access to some land. 13 years later, the struggle for recognition of peasant rights remains a priority of La via Campesina.

The current crises (of finance, climate, energy, food and biodiversity) have highlighted the responsibility, fragility and absurdity of the liberal economic system.
