« RESISTE » : des familles travaillant ensemble pour construire l’agroécologie au Chiapas, Mexique

The document details the work of the RESISTE network in Chiapas, Mexico, which promotes agroecology, seed saving, and soil conservation to counter a national policy favoring export-oriented agribusiness and land privatization. Through horizontal community capacity building, the initiative supports eight family groups in transitioning away from chemical inputs toward sustainable food systems and the defense of territorial rights.

• The Mexican government's agricultural policy prioritizes export-oriented agribusiness, benefiting large corporations like Monsanto and promoting land privatization of communal territories for oil palm and pineapple monocultures.
• The RESISTE network and Otros Mundos Chiapas support a transition to agroecology through horizontal capacity building, focusing on seed exchange, sustainable forest management, and the defense of sovereignty over water, food, and energy.
• Agroecological practices in Chiapas have led to the recovery of local seed varieties, the elimination of costs associated with chemical inputs, and the implementation of soil conservation for staple crops like maize and beans.
• The initiative emphasizes social equity and territorial defense, specifically advocating for equal decision-making rights between men and women in rural areas and the management of natural assets.
