National Agrarian Summit for Rural Populations, Ethnic and Popular Sectors
The National Agrarian Summit for Rural Populations, Ethnic and Popular Sectors is an alliance between the different agrarian and popular sectors, including indigenous peoples, rural populations, afro-Colombians, and popular sectors, who propose a comprehensive reform to the political and economic models of the Colombian rural areas. The Summit develops and establishes unitary guidelines, mechanisms, dialogue routes and ways of negotiation that offer opportunities, guarantees and permanence to the social processes and the Colombian rural population. The Summit roadmap is aimed at respecting the right of peoples to define land use and food production, to strengthen participatory processes and dialogue between cultures and ethnic groups, to guarantee the right to sovereignty and food autonomy and the right to prior consultation with free, prior and informed consent of afro, indigenous and rural poor peoples. This process began to take shape during the massive mobilizations that began in 2013 with the coffee growers' union protest, and had its peak during the National Agrarian and Popular Strike in August of that same year, where indigenous groups, rural populations, Afro-Colombians, miners' cooperatives and other social sectors came together to express their disagreement with the current development model. The Summit was consolidated in 2014 and was recognized by the national government as a political stakeholder in the definition of public policy for Colombian agriculture with the issuance of a national decree in 2014 that establishes a space for dialogue with the organizations of the Agrarian Summit.
