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

@Peasant_Journal

At the JPS Writeshop in Critical Agrarian Studies:

How to build momentum in our field of critical agrarian studies? Martha Peediyakkan (India) says this process overcomes the isolation of agrarian scholars in general academic departments. #JPSwriteshop @Peasant_Journal

@Peasant_Journal

We are wrapping up the writeshop - originally designed as a one-week process to take place in Beijing, we converted it into 5 weeks online, spread over 4 months. Worked brilliantly! 62 PhD candidates from about 40 countries. #JPSwriteshop @Peasant_Journal @PLAASuwc

@Peasant_Journal

Schluwa Sama (Kurdistan/Iraq) says the #JPSwriteshop helps to confirm that there is space to combine academic scholarship with activism - and demystifies the world of publishing. @Peasant_Journal @PLAASuwc

Webinar: The land of opportunity?

We will share the map we created to show *which* land government is offering for redistribution. #landreform

It's clear: mostly marginal state farms already occupied by black farmers

Starts 1pm today - or watch after

This is land acquired by the SADT (South African Development Trust) mostly in 1970s for homeland consolidation - ie. adjacent - but never incorporated. So they are only outside the 'homelands' in the sense that they are registered as 'farms' on the cadastral system. #landreform

@ManonaSiyabu

Siyabu Manona says the EFF tail is wagging the ANC dog..... This is not land redistribution: it's reallocating state land that is already held by black farmers on leasehold. Making available 896 farms and 700,000ha sounds impressive, but it's not white land. @ManonaSiyabu

@ThokoDidiza

Media briefing underway now on Interministerial Committee on Land Reform. Minister @ThokoDidiza speaking now about land expropriation #landreform twitter.com/GovernmentZA

@PatriciaDeLille

Minister @PatriciaDeLille announces that the revised Expropriation Bill was submitted to Parliament on Friday. The State Law Advisor has certified it as constitutional. It is now gazetted. Parliament will now scrutinise the Bill #landreform

In my view the Expropriation Bill is a well crafted law that brings our old expropriation framework from 1975 in line with the Constitution of 1996. Compensation will be provided where it is 'just & equitable' to do so, and not where it's not. Assess each case but move ahead.

How have African governments' responses to Covid-19 impacted on food systems? And how have women in the informal economy - as fishers, farmers & traders - been affected?

Today we start a new project to investigate....

#Africanfoodsystems

plaas.org.za/african-food-s…

Watch our launch webinar here:

Webinar: Women, Covid-19 and food systems in Africa

1. How have African governments’ responses to Covid-19 affected different food systems?
2. How has this affected women in informal markets?
3. How are women responding?

@PLAASuwc

First up, Refiloe Joala of @PLAASuwc highlights how South Africa is a corporate-dominated food economy - but informal street traders play a crucial role in providing affordable access to food, and support women's livelihoods in particular.... @phfiphfi
