Nyeleni Newsletter #41: "Beyond Land – Territory and Food Sovereignty" | #16October
 
This issue of the Nyéléni Newsletter looks at how land-related struggles have evolved over the past decades, starting with demands for agrarian reform to a more comprehensive framing, which asserts people's and communities' close and multi-faceted relationships to their territories. 
 
Peasant seeds are endangered. Yet tampering with our seeds is akin to tampering with our food and our food sovereignty. It is also an attempt to erase the social memory of living beings, as seeds contain the history, collective vision, knowledge and practice of peasant communities the world over.

This is why peasants everywhere are fighting for their preservation. Zin TV caught up with some of these peasants at the 7th International Conference of La Via Campesina in the Basque Country.
