More than 200 people representing Mozambique, Angola, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Sweden, and Switzerland will participate in the Second International Conference on Land, in Maputo on October 15 and 16, 2013, with the goal of deepening the democratic public debate about the key structural challenges of the performance of the agricultural sector, the urgency of agrarian reform based on the facilitation and promotion of the means of production and productivity in the country, and the urgent need to halt the phenomenon of land grabbing. The conference is a result of a wider process of organisation, mobilisation, engagement and activism of peasants throughout Mozambique, including the holding of three Regional Conferences on Land and Seed between August and October 2013. It is also part of a broader process of strengthening of the peasant movement, mobilisation, participation and collective construction of demands of peasant farmers from Mozambique to be incorporated into the National Plan for the Support of Peasant Agriculture, an initiative of agrarian policy proposed by peasants.
