220 farmers take their oath as agrarian reform beneficiaries
A total of 220 farmers from San Francisco and Rosario, Agusan del Sur formally took their oath as agrarian reform beneficiaries of the land awarded to National Guthrie Estates Incorporated Multi-purpose Cooperative yesterday.
Rural social movements are calling for a ``new agrarian reform based on food sovereignty,'' that would incorporate a range of sectors, including peasant farmers, women, and ethnic minorities, in order to build an effective, and more just, development model.
