National Council for Agrarian Coordination (CONACA)
The National Council for Agrarian Coordination (Span. CONACA) is a space created for the conflict-resolution and strategic decision-making during emergency situations in the agricultural sector and the deliberation of production policies. It was one of the first experiences of advisory councils with interministerial representation joined by the participation of interested citizens and representatives from the private sector. Among its faculties, the Council can debate and propose guidelines to policies for the development of the agricultural and agro-industrial activity and conciliate between peasant organizations and different Ministries.
