National Table for Agrarian Unity
The National Table for Agrarian Unity (Span. Mesa Nacional de Unidad Agraria - MUA) is a space created in 2009 and composed of rural, ethnic, communal and women organizations, both of national and regional scope. Its objectives are to defend the agricultural sector, to carry out the integral agrarian reform and to foster an integral rural human development, to rescue sovereignty and food autonomy and to obtain the recognition of the Colombian rural population as a social and political subject. The Board of Agrarian Unity seeks political influence in the construction of public policies and laws in defense of the rights of the rural population, agrarian and rural women's movement. As expressed by its name, it seeks to unify criteria, approaches, methodology and common proposals around the rural social struggle. Its main project has been the "Alternative Agrarian Law", put forward in 2012 as an alternative proposal to the Law on Land, Agrarian Reform and Rural Development that the national government was promoting at the time.
