Les agriculteurs indiens mènent une lutte historique pour la souveraineté alimentaire, l’antifascisme, la démocratie et les droits humains

Friends of the Earth International supports Indian farmers protesting against three agricultural laws enacted in September 2020. The organization argues that these laws promote the corporatization of agriculture, threaten the public food distribution system, and increase precariousness for small-scale farmers. The statement calls for the repeal of these laws, a legal guarantee for minimum support prices, and the release of political prisoners, while advocating for agroecology as an alternative to industrial agriculture.

• Since August 2020, Indian farmers have protested three new agricultural laws passed in September 2020, which they argue will allow the bypassing of state-regulated markets, remove storage limits on agricultural products, and deregulate minimum support prices, leading to corporate control of the sector.
• The Indian agrarian economy has faced a decade-long crisis characterized by farmer indebtedness to agribusiness and lenders, insufficient investment in agriculture, and the adoption of market-oriented neoliberal policies.
• Protests have been met with state repression, including the use of tear gas and water cannons, the arrest of peasant leaders, and at least 15 deaths.
• The document argues that industrial, corporate-led agriculture promoted by international institutions like the World Bank and the World Trade Organization has damaged the environment, increased hunger and malnutrition, and prioritized export cash crops over local food markets.
• The movement demands the repeal of the three agricultural laws, a legal guarantee for the minimum support price, the repeal of the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2020, and the release of political prisoners.
