In fact, small farmers and peasants are the backbone of global food security, dedicating their passion and devotion to their work. Despite the advancements in modern agriculture, they continue to employ traditional farming practices passed down from their ancestors, which have been refined through local experiences. These inherited skills and techniques play a crucial role in maintaining natural food production processes and promoting ecological and biological forms of agriculture that are essential for a healthy planet and environment. Furthermore, they are able to provide nutritious food for their families.
Surprisingly, despite contributing over 80% to the global food production chain, these efforts are often overlooked and undervalued. It is essential that we recognize and appreciate the contributions of peasants and farmers, as their knowledge and skills are vital for sustainable agriculture development. The incorporation of indigenous agricultural practices, skills, and knowledge through exchange and collaboration among stakeholders and community-based organizations is crucial.
In light of this, it is imperative that we listen to the voices of peasants and farmers, who are the true heroes of global food security. Therefore, this organization proudly announces its commitment to collaborative work to preserve and promote inherited knowledge and skills for sustainable agriculture, where peasants and farmers are at the forefront of our efforts.
