Five years ago we came home tired but happy after an event with a long and difficult negotiations to the last word between representatives of governments and farmers' organizations about how to deal with the issue of access, use and management of natural resources, ground in the first place. How to give an account of the historical efforts carried out by millions of peasants in the world to maintain a productive varieties better adapted to the available land, climate changing, evolving tastes, how to recognize the specificities of indigenous peoples and, in a wild word how to open the doors of dialogue between actors who, on these issues, rather they tend to speak for bias. Perhaps it was
the very daring to believe that we could give concrete form to the principles and values \u200b\u200bwritten on the stones in our input, to believe that the participation could be fit something not only fashionable but to share space, to listen and understand the interests of others and seek together while respecting the interests of everyone, even the solutions that take into account long-term ecological balance.
Being able to put around the table an important part of these actors, not all of course, to speak in an atmosphere a little less tense, then this was perhaps the biggest legacy of those days in Porto Alegre.
In my few understood what it meant at this time within this organization, and even friends, then or later, they have difficltá understand why the insistence to return to those passages. They have other priorities, all decent, God forbid, but the point is just to get to Capri, where is the core of things and see what lessons learned from these events in order to serve for the future. If even those who say they share the dreams, values \u200b\u200band principles, can not focus on what it meant to bring so many countries and many farmers' organizations to talk together, to seek possible ways, in fact proving that it would be possible only wanting it, break down also very strong walls, then you're talking about here, even if your dearest understand it, what sense does it?
now all is consumed in the act itself, so no memory organizzazto officer was not even a moment to discuss the legacy of that conferenxza, what has been done (a little) and what could be done, what lessons we have for the future that we can forge alliances and to do what we are together ... With the memory to zero. I tried it with four friends I've got to try to talk a bit ', the time for a little soup and a vegetable, but nobody has time for anything, now is coming to a new price crisis (announcement just out on our site), the agrarian crisis progresses, then there are emergencies, should be the ones to do .. here, let me vote I think we must also be those of thinking, stop to think ... to analyze the roads, paths taken, the mistakes ... but maybe I'm wrong channel .. need to tune up the right one.
