- THE WORLD FORUM ON AGRARIAN REFORM (WFAR) New challenges for land management and access to natural resources in the 21st century 10 February 2004 The issue of agrarian reform seems to have lost importance in recent decades â “ after occupying a prominent position during most of the 20th century in the social struggles of peasantsâ ™ movements, on the agendas of international organisations and in the development policies of many countries. ... Also needed is a new reflection about the agrarian reform issue leading to new approaches which can reduce inequalities and guarantee the fundamental human rights of all the worldâ ™s inhabitants. â ˘ FOOD SECURITY, FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AND AGRARIAN REFORM In establishing the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in 1945, the United Nations set out the objective of attaining global food security through food production, whilst improving the living conditions of rural populations and contributing to world economic development. The World Conference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development convened by FAO in 1979 invited governments to adopt an effective programme of action in those countries where a considerable reorganisation of land tenure was required, by means of land redistribution to landless peasants and smallholders, as part of a rural development strategy and as a means of redistributing power. ... All of them are victims of the abandonment by many governments of agrarian reform policies and measures designed to support family farms. ... Agrarian Reform is the central measure for enabling peasantsâ ™ access to and control over land, seeds, water and other means of production. In this context, the effective implementation of agrarian reform is not a question of governmentsâ ™ good will, but a human rights-related legal obligation. Agrarian Reform must be recognised as an efficient instrument of public policy to combat poverty. â ˘ MANAGEMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES The discussion on agrarian reform in the 21st century involves several aspects additional to land distribution. ... All this makes it essential to update agrarian reform policies. ... WFAR identifies itself as a space for dialogue, exchange of experiences and reflection, as well as for the construction of processes and proposals, where agrarian and social organisations, experts, NGOs and governmental organisations from various continents will address the question of land, positing the influence of agrarian reforms in social and economic processes aimed at attaining food sovereignty, the fulfilment of human rights and the creation of conditions necessary for world sustainable development.

- www.cjd.org
- The Challenge of Agrarian Reform (Excerpts).
- The social teaching of the Church is very clear
that agrarian reform is one of the most urgent reforms and cannot be delayed," the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace said in a document it made public Jan. ... The council said that "in situations of injustice and poverty, agrarian reform is not only an instrument of distributive justice and economic growth but is also an act of great political widsom. " But the council stressed that if the term "agrarian reform" is "confined only to land redistribution, the struggle against povety and underdevelopment will not be won. The commitment to ensuring access to land constitutes merely the first part of the program if agrarian reform is to offer a practical and sustainable response to the serious economic and social problems of the agricultural sector in developing countries. ... " The document discusses the rights of indigenous peoples, credit availability for small farmers, education for the professional development of farmers, the position of women in farm production and food economies, the role of government in agrarian reform and numerous other concerns.
- The agrarian structure of developing countries is often characterized by a two-tier form of distribution, with a small number of large landowners possessing most of the arable land while vast numbers of very small owners, tenants and settlers farm the remaining land, which is often of inferior quality. ...
- The social teaching of the Church sees agrarian reform as an instrument capable of extending private ownership of land as long as public authorities follow three distinct but complementary lines of action: .

- In view of this situation, if agrarian-reform programs are to be successful, it is vital to ensure women of an effective right to land, with concrete attention to their needs on the part of technical-assistance services, fuller and better schooling and easier access to credit. ...

- The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry.
- If Thoreau stands for romantic naturalism; Muir for the preservationism of his creation, the Sierra Club; and if Leopold traced in his life and work the intellectual distance between conservationism (which treats nature as economically instrumental) and something like modem ecology (which doesn't), Berry too is the chief articulator of an environmentally relevant "ism": He is our foremost apostle of the agrarian ideal.
- Ah--the agrarian ideal. But farmland isn't "nature," and Jefferson died centuries ago, right? Hasn't the Jeffersonian vision of a republic of free and equal yeoman farmers been completely occluded by the success of Hamilton's plan for a national manufactory? With only a minuscule portion of our population engaged in farming, talk of an agrarian ideal seems outdated at best.
- He merely wants us to adopt the values, responsibilities and concerns of an agrarian life. ... the assumptions of an industrial mind-set without ourselves becoming industrialists-we are still teachers, health-care providers, builders, students, and so forth-so too can we integrate agrarian principles without ourselves becoming farmers. ...
- One of the clearest contrasts between industrial and agrarian values concerns the matter of garbage. ... The agrarian, with the wisdom and clarity of the farmer, knows that there is no such thing as a "sanitary" landfill. ...
- Our world is neither completely a factory nor ideally a wilderness but in practice is very much under cultivation: We are inescapably agrarian. ...
- In emphasizing Berry as an agrarian theorist, this collection tends to under-represent Berry the farmer and neighbor and nephew and husband, the man whose experience makes his agrarian theorizing compelling. ...
- ) Berry's 1993 plaint against the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade still has relevance-the issue of globalization hasn't gone away, and its portent for agrarian values is enormous-but "A Bad Big Idea" would benefit from annotation or an introduction explaining the current status of world trade in agricultural goods and limning the continuing relevance of Berry's analysis. ...
- But the full exchange makes clearer why this is an agrarian's concern: It's that boundary, and not some chimerical escape from meaningful work or moral duty, that is crucial to the exercise of our liberty. ...
