Campesinos indios a la cabeza de la lucha por la soberanía alimentaria, el antifascismo, la democracia y los derechos humanos

Friends of the Earth International supports Indian farmers protesting against three agricultural laws passed in September 2020, which they argue promote corporate control and dismantle public food distribution. The statement highlights the precarious state of India's agrarian economy, where 70% of the population depends on agriculture, and calls for the revocation of these laws and the Electricity (Amendment) Act 2020 to protect small-scale producers and food sovereignty.

• Indian farmers are protesting three new agricultural laws passed in September 2020, arguing that these laws will bypass state-regulated markets, remove limits on stockpiling basic agricultural products, and deregulate guaranteed minimum social prices.
• The deregulation of the agricultural sector is expected to lead to corporate control, the destruction of small-scale food production and the public food distribution system, and a significant loss of income for farmers.
• India's agrarian economy has been in crisis for over a decade due to neoliberal market-based approaches, lack of investment, low agricultural prices, and farmer debt to lenders and agribusinesses.
• The government's response to farmer marches toward New Delhi has included brutal repression, such as the use of tear gas and water cannons, resulting in at least 15 deaths and the arrest of several leaders.
• The document argues that industrial, corporation-controlled agriculture promoted by international institutions like the World Bank and the WTO has damaged the environment, increased hunger and poverty, and exacerbated the food crisis during the covid-19 pandemic.
