Eduardo Zegarra in Ideeleradio: “Among Peruvian farmers there is a feeling of helplessness”

“In the farmers there is a feeling of helplessness. As a result of the agricultural strike and some negotiating tables, this Government told them that it was going to start making policies in favor of family farming: propose a new Ministry of Agriculture with a vice-ministry of family farming, financing the National Family Farming Plan, and creating a public food procurement scheme. These commitments have not been met.” Our senior researcher Eduardo Zegarra shared his thoughts in Ideeleradio on the current state of Peruvian agriculture.
