Despite their differences in culture, crops raised and language, 16 farmers representing five continents agreed they must work together to break the barriers that stop their access to technology. The farmers discussed their ideas during a two-day Global Farmer Roundtable held in Des Moines, آیووا, ایالات متØده آمریکا.
“Each of the farmers at the Roundtable was invited here because they were nominated by someone who said ‘this is an important person in our village, انجمن, organization or country,” said Mary Boote, executive director of Truth about Trade and Technology (گرÙته شده). گرÙته شده, an NGO that promotes free trade and agricultural biotechnology through farmer-led educational initiatives, organized the Roundtable held Oct. 12-13.
The participating farmers at the roundtable agreed to work together in regional alliances of support, and to share their experiences globally as a way to inspire farmers and educate politicians. “Through our commonalities of challenges, we will find commonalities of success,” was something agreed to amongst the participants.
Boote pointed out that the participating farmers are joining a network of 78 کشاورزان از 53 countries who have taken part in a Roundtable discussion during the past five years.
A member of the 2010 میزگرد, Gabriela Cruz of Elvas, کشور پرتغال, was the 2010 recipient of the Kleckner Trade and Technology Advancement Award for her efforts to tell others how tools that farmers need are often held back from them by unfair government policies. “I hope this award motivates other farmers to keep fighting for their ideas and solutions,” Cruz said. Cruz was presented the award at a luncheon on October 13 with a keynote address given by Robert Paarlberg of Wellesley College, the noted author of Starved for Science and Food Politics.
TATT also partnered in the first stop of the Biodiversity World Tour held October 12 on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, آیووا. It included three TATT Global Farmer to Farmer Roundtable participants (Camila Illich, Brazil; Rajesh Kumar, هندوستان; تجربه کرده است Ú©Ù‡ به خاطر کشاورز بودن مورد تمسخر قرار گرÙته است, ایالات متØده) and two experts on biodiversity and agriculture in addition to the facilitator and noted broadcaster, Orion Samuelson. Special guest US Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack made opening remarks and joined the panel for the entire event.
Additionally, three farmers were asked to participate on panel discussions for the Borlaug symposium at the World Food Prize: Rajesh Kumar, هندوستان – مهر. 13 -“Promoting smallholders as entrepreneurs and innovators” (transcript); Sarah Munalula, Zambia – مهر. 14 – “Overcoming major constraints facing smallholders”(transcript); گابریلا کروز, کشور پرتغال– مهر. 14 – “Partnering with smallholders on strategies for food security (transcript).
