The situation may be difficult, but hope is rising!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the last two decades, the consolidation of agribusiness in Latin America has pushed traditional farming to the fringes of agriculture. Genetic erosion, or the disappearance of traditional seeds, has been a direct effect of this. It is not just the seeds that disappear, but the cultural practices and food identities with them. Without the adequate seeds, real agroecology is far more difficult to implement. Even the programmes aiming to help farmers and indigenous peoples in the development of organic systems often fail to address this issue, or to understand the need to build local systems that are culturally and ecologically adequate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The members of this panel have been working to build up and expand regenerative food systems that sprout from the management of traditional seeds. They propose a different way to address the common problems of farmers in Latin America, from the bottom up. But they have been challenged by the interests of big agribusiness and the complicity of the State, with laws and regulations that punish Agroecology and the small farmer. In this session, they will share their struggles and the strategies that have developed to transform society with the seeds in their hands.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Incredibly inspiring talk with seed activists and network organisers from Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile and Colombia<\/p>\n<p>Thanks Valentina <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/semilla_austral?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@semilla_austral<\/a>, Katiussa <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ecotamboBo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ecotamboBo<\/a>, Javier <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sembrante?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Sembrante<\/a> and Alba Portillo (RGSV) for sharing your work. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/i4fJ7lS6Lr\">https:\/\/t.co\/i4fJ7lS6Lr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Glasgow Seed Library (@glasgowseedlib) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/glasgowseedlib\/status\/1347991496067342336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 9, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<span class=\"is-oswald text-uppercase\">ORFC Global 2021\u00a0 <span class=\"is-orange\">7 \u2013 13 January\u00a0<\/span><\/span> <a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/orfc.org.uk\/book-tickets\/\">Book Tickets<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Working with partners around the world, ORFC Global brings together voices from the real food and farming movement across six continents, for what we believe is the first time ever.\u00a0 This will be a radical, inclusive and inspiring seven-day programme of talks, events and workshops.<br \/>\nAbout the ORFC: Meeting annually in January, with regional events throughout the year, ORFC is a space for people to share their stories, learn from each other and strengthen alliances for a thriving future for real farming in the UK. <a href=\"https:\/\/orfc.org.uk\/orfc-global-2021-guiding-principles\/\">Its radical and inclusive programme<\/a> is suggested and run by its participants.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"JjVJn4rWb4\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/navdanya-international-at-oxford-real-farming-global-conference\/\">Navdanya International at Oxford Real Farming Global Conference &#8211; Highlights<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/navdanya-international-at-oxford-real-farming-global-conference\/embed\/#?secret=JjVJn4rWb4\" data-secret=\"JjVJn4rWb4\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Navdanya International at Oxford Real Farming Global Conference &#8211; Highlights&#8221; &#8212; Navdanya international\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 January 2021, 6pm &#8211; 7pm GMT Speakers: Valentina Vives Katiussa Veiga Javier Carrera Alba Portillo Chair: Ruchi Shroff, Navdanya International Seed Guardians from four Latin American countries share their views and experiences regarding traditional seed saving, organic seed production, networking and the challenges with new laws and regulations.
