Our colleague Dr Farai Mtero will be doing this interview - catch him now! On Radio567 @CapeTalk on #landreform and @MYANC
Dr Mtero says that land donations is one way land can be made available for redistribution - but this can only complement state efforts and cannot substitute for them.
The state should not shy away from expropriating land and using its constitutional powers to redistribute land, says @FaraiMtero

What can we learn from India's farmer protests?

@PLAAS webinar starting now. Click below to watch (now or later) and follow #FarmersProtests

j.mp/3jvxMeX
Most Indian farmers have less than 2 hectares! And depend on state-guaranteed prices for wheat & rice. This has been the foundation for smallholder agriculture for decades. It's this system which is under threat from new agricultural laws.

Siddharth Joshi, PhD #FarmersProtests
Restrictions on buying farmland by non-farmers and companies in Karnataka have been removed. These were meant to protect farming communities from dispossession by corporate interests. The squeeze on farmers means a crisis for rural people, says Joshi
