Justice for the farmers of Gatuslao! 🌱 The DENR must listen to the communities whose livelihoods and environment are threatened by oil palm plantations. We stand in solidarity with farmers in their call to cancel HAPI’s Integrated Forest Management Agreement and defend their rights, livelihoods, and land. True agroecology means justice for farmers and genuine care for the environment!

From Masipag Visayas: As part of the 2026 16 Days of Global Action on Agroecology, MASIPAG PCB Negros held a dialogue at the DENR/CENRO Kabankalan office with farmers affected by the oil palm plantation of Hacienda Asia Plantation Inc. (HAPI) in Brgy. Gatuslao, Candoni, Negros Occidental.

However, instead of addressing their concerns properly, the farmers were denied entry, and the gate of the very agency that should stand with the environment and the people was locked.

The farmers called on the government to treat them fairly, reminding authorities that not only the wealthy but also the poor pay taxes and are entitled to the services they deserve.

Despite the challenges, they remain steadfast in their commitment to continue fighting until justice is served and their lost livelihoods are restored.

The farmers are also calling for the cancellation of HAPI’s Integrated Forest Management Agreement (IFMA), which was approved by the DENR. This project is destroying the livelihoods of farmers who have lived in Gatuslao for decades and will continue to devastate the environment.

True agroecology means justice. Genuine environmental protection means listening to farmers.

In this meeting, participants shared and analyzed the policies on agroecology of their countries, developed their documentation and communication methodologies and strategies, and strengthened their regional coordination through joint advocacy, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among partners.

Agroecological responses from farmers and communities in the face of the impacts of the climate crisis were also shared in the workshop, highlighting the role of agroecology as a climate solution.

As part of PAN Asia Pacific’s campaign, participants join in solidarity with rural women and women farmers in their fight towards food, land, social protection, and climate justice.

🌱 16 Days of Global Action on Agroecology 2026 🌾
📅 October 1–16, 2026

Unite. Resist. Transform. 💚

From October 1 to 16, we are celebrating the global movement for agroecology through the 16 Days of Global Action on Agroecology 2026, under the theme “Unite, Resist, Transform.” This campaign highlights the importance of agroecology in protecting farmers’ rights, conserving biodiversity, strengthening food sovereignty, and advancing climate justice.

As part of this global movement, SHISUK and SHISUK ANANNA Nari Unnayan Shangstha participated in the Regional Conference of Youth (RCOY APAC 2026) to promote agroecology as a pathway for climate action among national and international delegates. The engagement highlighted the importance of community-led initiatives, youth leadership, and sustainable agricultural practices in building resilient rural communities.

🌱 Agroecology is more than a way of farming. It is an approach that connects ecological knowledge, local seeds, biodiversity, farmers’ rights, and sustainable food systems to build a healthier relationship between people and nature.

👩‍🌾 By recognizing the knowledge and leadership of rural women and farmers, while engaging young people in meaningful action, we can strengthen community resilience and work towards a more just and sustainable future.

💚 Let us unite for agroecology, resist practices that threaten people and nature, and transform our food systems for a resilient future.

🌾 Unite. Resist. Transform.

LOOK | The Cudionan Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Association (CARBA) joins the 16 Days of Global Action on Agroecology 2026! 🌾✊

CARBA continues to practice the Diversified Integrated Farming System (DIFS)—planting a wide variety of traditional crops through sustainable farming free from deadly and destructive chemical inputs.

In their Communal Garden and Rice Trial Farm, the spirit of Bayanihan is alive. Here, they continuously learn, research, and develop knowledge for farming that is both ecological and community-centered.

For CARBA, agroecology is not just a simple method of cultivation—it is an active contribution to protecting nature and advancing genuine food sovereignty!

Long live the farmers sowing seeds of change! ✊✨

Sharing JVE-Côte d'Ivoire's message this DAY 2/16 of our campaign 🌱

OUR COMMUNITIES ARE ALSO SPACES FOR LEARNING.

Sharing knowledge is preparing for the future.

In the fields and villages, rural women pass on much more than agricultural practices. They share seeds, knowledge, and experiences that allow communities to produce, preserve their resources, and adapt.

A woman who passes on a seed is a knowledge that continues to live.

A woman who shares her experience is a community that learns.

Because rural agroecology also begins with the knowledge of those who feed our communities.

NOS COMMUNAUTÉS SONT AUSSI DES ESPACES D’APPRENTISSAGE.

Partager les savoirs, c’est préparer l’avenir.

Dans les champs et les villages, les femmes rurales transmettent bien plus que des pratiques agricoles. Elles partagent des semences, des savoirs et des expériences qui permettent aux communautés de produire, de préserver leurs ressources et de s’adapter.

Une femme qui transmet une semence, c’est un savoir qui continue de vivre.
Une femme qui partage son expérience, c’est une communauté qui apprend.

Parce que l’agroécologie paysanne commence aussi par les savoirs de celles qui nourrissent nos communautés.
