This letter to the European Commission and Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) legislators is signed by farmers’ organisations, environmental organisations, NGOs, unions, and researchers.
It marks the week of International Day of Peasant Struggles which commemorates the massacre of 21 landless peasants in 1996 in Eldorado dos Carajás, Brazil, while demonstrating in support of comprehensive agrarian reform.
The letter underlines the key role of small and medium-sized farmers in the resolution of current social, environmental, and food-related crises. It demands that EU policy in this pivotal moment must support and increase the number of small-scale farmers.
