Agrarian Pact

The Agrarian Pact is a participatory process created in 2013, which aims to reformulate the public policy of comprehensive rural development of the country from the regions and people living in the countryside, promoted by the National Government with the collaboration of regional public entities, stakeholders of the agricultural sector and other rural poor and producer organizations. In the process, everyone interested in the field is invited to participate. During the process the policy guidelines for the agricultural and rural sector are developed. From the direct participation in the Municipal Rural Development Councils (CMDR) and the Sectional Agricultural Development Councils (CONSEA), organizations, mayors and governors present the proposals of their vision for rural development. 98 550 proposals have been collected from more than 10 000 organizations and 641 municipalities have participated.
