MONTECRISTI, Manabi Since the validity of the new Constitution shall be prohibited latifundio, concentration and land grabbing, according to the texts discussed yesterday in the first debate on Food Sovereignty. The texts prepared by the Bureau 6 were questioned by the minority, noting that they were not sufficiently discussed at the table and they need clarification to avoid future expropriation. To realize the right to food sovereignty is forbidden land grabbing, and ensuring the equitable use and management, efficient and sustainable water irrigation. As discussed yesterday, the state law created through the National Land Fund to ensure access of peasants to land, as well as boost public policies that guarantee the production, supply, distribution and marketing of food. Food sovereignty is a strategic objective of the State and principles will promote and facilitate food production and fishing, mainly for domestic consumption by generating distribution systems and marketing. Alike, the State will assume the protection of the population of contaminated food and the introduction of genetically modified organisms harmful to health. Cristina Reyes (PSC) said to be clarifying the concepts of large estates, concentration and hoarding so that they do not infringe upon free enterprise and private property. The prianista Vincent Taiana said that food sovereignty is nothing but an essay, with this text because the only thing they are creating new bureaucratic entities as the National Land Fund. He warned that there is a trap, the texts are vague regarding the right to private property. He said that the current constitution prohibits the large estates and grabbing, so it is nothing new. |
